Popular Post peach0000 Posted 17 February 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 17 February 2021 (edited) To be fair if it's an extra chance of European competition I'm all for it. I've spent my entire life dreaming of seeing Leicester in Europe and just because we have done it twice in recent years doesn't mean we should get greedy and take it for granted. The more opportunity for European competition the better for me. Edited 17 February 2021 by peach0000 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would happily take any European trips and any European trophy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if for some reason we had finished third in our Europa League group I would take an away day against some small side we can't even find on a map rather than having nothing. Football for me is as much about the experiences of following the club home and away as it is about anything else. This competition could provide that if we underperform some years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if it’s in some Mickey Mouse competition that nobody cares about winning. The Europa league itself is bad enough, teams fighting to finish top 6 and then not wanting to fully compete in it, a conference league would lose even more value. Would just be like the carabao cup and Europa league, you only really care until you get deep into the knockout rounds, but even more so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach0000 Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 Another question I have is will the new Conference League winners get a Champions League place? If so it could provide a fairly easy route in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I’d like to agree but when you go to a lesser important cup match there’s a totally different feel about the atmosphere and build up. Nothing better than the nervous build up to a crucial prem/European game and the atmosphere at the ground. Although am beginning to forget how that feels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_up_north Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 Christ...that's what 96 european teams? How the hell do you fill that up. Talk about diminishing the value. Europa league I get because there are some teams that are big just not quite big enough to be in the Champs League - Celtic, being a prime example But surely it's better to have maybe a larger champions league, but early rounds are straight knock-out? Oh, wait - that doesn't make enough money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 17 February 2021 Share Posted 17 February 2021 11 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Yes but it was a little easier to come to an agreement on the £30m stadium, rather than one that had it been bespoke would have cost 5 times as much. It would have been even worse for us. There is a book out regarding us this that I've got a home called "what if" all about what would have happened if the club had gone under etc... good read though some parts are little far fetched. They reckon we would have sold the Walkers Stadium (KP) to the Tigers, groundshared with them for a while till built another new stadium... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
