This is all a bit weird though really isn't it?

The club trying to manufacture it all, yes.

 

People taking advantage of a free trip away, don't see why people have a problem.

Why? I find it more weird that people are too sceptical of the owners' marketing activity to see it for what it was- a free trip to watch the football in a very nice European city with great people and amazing beer.

 

The cameras were mostly focused on a group who were happy to get involved, whilst the rest of us did our own thing- it was a very enjoyable couple of days in a place which I probably would have never thought to visit, whatever the club's intentions were.

No doubt that those who went had a top time and I don't have much to say against a free trip for beer and football  but the whole club manufactured 'friendship' thing is just weird. 'Together Fearless' sums up the cringeworthiness of the whole thing for me.

Coach 1, thankfully- the journey back was long enough without having to wait for the later ferry!

Yeah I know what you mean- the flag was a monstrosity, and my LCFC/OHL t-shirt is still very much in its wrapper

Exactly, I wasn't interested in getting involved in the organised side of things I would prefer to do what I wanted  which I did.

Lets face it it's to do with promoting the King Power brand which the chairman is entitled to do so, after all he has put a lot of money into the club. So I have no problem with that would much rather have the Thais running the club than some we have had in the past.

This is my view too. I can easily understand why people would want to take advantage of the trip being offered. What I find a bit sickly is the "King Power family" identity that's being pushed. Identities that are based on corporate brands aren't meaningful.

'#lcfc Fans travelled across the channel to unite the King Power family in Leuven'
 

Does nobody check it and think 'maybe we shouldn't say that'? If they'd just posted a tweet saying that our fans had gone over to Leuven then that's fine, fair play. To actually refer to us as the 'King Power Family' is just wrong. It's insulting to be honest.

King Power family... 

 

[BirminghamFox]

If I'm considered family, I will look forward to the inheritance 

[Daggers]

Fvck King Power - I love Nige.

[Matt]

Should have bought Nige with them, he could have had a chat with Birch at HT!

So it's ok for Bochum to come over but not Leuven
