This Era of Supporting Our Club

[StanSP]

A golden era, for sure.

 

A record-breaking Championship-winning season.
A monumental Great Escape in our first season back in the Premier League for 10 years.

A Premier League title.

Reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Finishing 5th in the league.

Playing in the Europa League.

On set for a strong finish in the league this season.

Reaching the FA Cup semi-final for the first time in a lot of our lifetimes. 

 

World class players - instead of just one or two in the squad, we have pure quality all around the squad. One of the best British managers in charge. One of the best owners in the land. 

 

I am so proud of where the club is at right now, and for anyone - players & staff - at the club right now. We're making progress season by season, establishing ourselves as a team to be taken seriously as time goes by and our stature grows and grows.

 

We've come a long way in such a short time and I can't wait for the journey to continue, even more so if fans can attend a final (should we get there) and for beyond this season anyway .

Absolutely incredible. In the time I've supported Leicester, since around 1995, we've had 2 spells that some clubs' fans will never get. 

[StriderHiryu]

Sit back and enjoy the ride. Never in my lifetime did I think the club would ever get to this sort of level.

 

Even more incredible is the way we've done it. Most successful teams in the Premier League era have done it through massive spending. Man U, Blackburn, Man City, Chelsea. Even Liverpool spent tons on VVD and Alison, and Arsenal signed players like Henry, Berkgamp and Vieira who were still quite pricey at the time. I feel like we are not only successful but can be proud of the way it was achieved too.

 

Incredible time to be a supporter!

[HybridFox]

And there was me once p***** off we didn't sign Craig Mackail-Smith 

 

What a long way we've come

You missed the 6 years before the title win too. League 1 title, unbeaten for hal the season. 2 playoff campaigns. Win the Championship with 100+ points. The Great Escape. 

[Goober]

Brilliant post. So good to go into an international break off the back of our last 3 results. Real chance to appreciate what we've done thus far

[jonthefox]

My son said it all earlier. He told me i couldn't bang on about the good old days anymore. These are the good old days. Right here, right now.

I think the Great Escape is still my favourite few months of supporting Leicester ever.

True, I don't forget those! Feel like this is another level, but you're right, they are very important in getting us to where we are now!

If feels good and I like it.

I’m just saying the golden era is even longer/larger 

[Lcfc82]

It certainly is, all started with the league 1 season and carried on from there really.

 

so sad that nobody was there to watch the game live tonight it would of been brilliant. I just hope if we do make the final that supporters will be able to attend.

 

[coolhandfox]

Drink it in and enjoy.

 

 

[Ashley]

The best is still to come. We're just getting started. 

 

One Love.

[Jakemoore]

I wear my Leicester shirt with pride more and more every day. I’ve always been a proud Leicester fan but this last 7/8 years have been something else. It’s just unbelievable! 

[Fox92]

Unreal.

Another trophy would be lovely too so that we've got something as well as the title win.

Brendan has taken us to the next level in terms of keeping us consistently in the top 6.

[Webbo]

We started this century with a league cup win and its undoubtedly our most eventful 21 years ever. Good, bad worse, hope, better, brilliant and then unbelievable. A cup win would complete the set for us. 

[StanSP]

This, also. The way the club has continued to progress amongst the harshest type of adversity is incredible. A real testament to the attitude of the club and the approach we use to find the right people to fit in and help us keep going...

 

[Vacamion]

 

I used to get people in Scotland asking if my City shirt was a Falkirk top.

 

 

Now we get headlines like this:

 

 

[Spudulike]

So brilliant that it was on prime time BBC1 so everyone can see for themselves. 

 

No young kid in Leicestershire ever needs to find another club to support. We have it here, right now. 

[Manini]

I imagine this is what heroine feels like. I never want it to end. 

[Anglodanglo]

Just over a decade ago I didn't think football got any better after a 4-1 away win AND a snowball fight with Walsall stewards on the way out.

I bloody love our club 

[DerbyshireFox]

Never in our lifetimes could we have dreamt of a period like this. What an incredible decade it’s been, we are living through history and long may it continue. Simply fantastic tonight 🦊💙

[Foxxed]

Shock Premier League win.

Breaking into the top six.

Breaking up a credible super league.

 

It's a privilege to be a fan as we go down this list.

[Izzy]

Still have to pinch myself from time to time when I think back to the Pleat years
