A Call for Change: A Footballing Reset at Leicester City Football Club

[g7fox]

The chants on 14 mins lead to TNT talking about the issues and a few mins highlighting the concerns, and for the first 30 secs were load.

Well done to this taking part and standing up to those who are obviously ‘sponsored’ by KPFC on this forum to diffuse and deflect. 

[LcFc_Smiv]

I fully support this however just a few thoughts:

- I think it's the wrong route to ask for communication and transparency when talking about what's going on at board level and around PSR etc. Your never going to get that from a club competing at the top of the pyramid in the English game, I don't know of any club that does.

- I do however agree the communication between the club and fans groups is massively lacking around fans concerns with the club, the new fan engagement role or whatever it was seems to be an empty role

- I agree with others that going down the personal route isn't the way to take it, there needs to be accountability across all levels of leadership at the club. While the DoF is clearly not performing to expected levels, the club is operating questionably in all areas

- My biggest gripe and I think one that resonates with others but feels like it hasn't been touched upon is that to the rest of the world we may be Leicester City, but to us the supporters it feels like we are very much Leicester only in name and King Power FC in every sense, we have, lost our club.

 

As I say, no hate, I fully support this, just my thoughts after today.

Whilst we can agree/disagree about whether it was done in the right way, it has absolutely shone a spotlight on it and that's just the first one where no doubt many people were on the fence to see how it was received. 

 

For TNT to bring it up several times, actually discuss where and why is coming from and at points suggest they can understand the frustrations is a huge leap. 

Totally. I didn't really agree with how they went about it, but I don't think you can say they failed to make a point.

Nothing will happen. Rudkin will keep his job and soon we’ll be back in League One. 
 

Was Top there today?

No. He dodged it. Hope he had a good excuse not to face the music...

I reckon he was playing polo.

Well done to all who organised this. Thought it was a decent turn out and hopefully it will grow.

 

Sack the board

[l444ry]

If Top and Rudkin have been touched by the demo and another defeat then Ruud will probably be paying the price pretty soon to shield them both 

[J.Lisemore]

So not only was it obvious that the words used in the programme notes weren't his, he also decides to go into hiding by not turning up on match day. Not exactly doing himself any favours here is he.

Thanks to everyone who positively contributed and of course to those who donated. 
 

Appreciate we still have a large portion of snowflakes who ‘don’t agree with it’.  And in my view, that’s why this club’s fan base is so soft. 
 

At least some of us tried. 
 

Onto the next one. 
 

cheers.

Ruud will walk.

 

You could tell from the presser he wanted this to go ahead. He wants change and we will not change. Top is too weak. 

[Trev3939]

Think we have to continue by doing more at the Brentford game- only way to make change 

[RYM]

Look at our Anthony not knowing who to ban next….

The fact you had Top release a statement yesterday, 2 urgent foxestrust meetings with the board in quick succession and got multiple national media outlets talking about it and a few even saying they understand where it's coming from.

 

I would say it achieved alot, if it didn't have any traction none of those things would of happened. I think just take stock and think about the best way to represent it against Brentford, losing momentum is the only thing that will stop it, doesn't matter if those who were pelting you with abuse like it or not, the facts are it is being talked about and the club are noticing it.

Needs a more concentrated effort next time. A bit more leadership and maybe meet at a different location? My experience was the crowd got diluted at the crossroads and mingled in with regular ticket holders. The chanting stopped and we ended up finding ourselves walking to the game 😂 We eventually heard a little bit of Rudkin Out in the distance, but couldn’t find the rest. It felt a bit disappointing.
 

Good start to those who organised because they’ve sacrificed a lot of time to try and make a difference. We just need to do it with more togetherness and perhaps using a boozer as a meeting point which also crosses a main road didn’t have the best of results.

 

The one gripe, to the twat throwing the flares… What’s the point of chucking them in Freemans common car park? Thanks for getting yellow shit all over my son’s trainers and jeans - f**king m0ng.

It wasn't perfect but it's a start. Should be now done before all future home games. Soon be the only reason for going.

As people have suggested think it was planned very well, but there was no leadership on ground and a lot of people seemed confused about the plan. 
 

I understand the leaders may well have wanted to remain unidentifiable to the club, but someone needs to lead this if it’s going to work.

You cannot meet at a pub and expect all to go well without leadership. Put a bloody mask on and lead the crowd - that will make a difference.

Considering the abuse that myself and others have received from supporters of your "cause" i politely want to tell you to feck off.

My cause? Just re-advertising the cause.

 

Pull your bobble hat over your ears a bit more and block out the nasty words from the nasty men.

I think if people are worried about future bans and being identified maybe the initial meet up needs to be lead by those already banned? They have nothing to lose at that point and can afford to be louder and coordinate things 

Not sure how you do the post match sit ins though 

Well done @ProjectReset on getting things started today

It actually went up on the stadium screens for a split second before they hastily cut back to the logos.  I'm sure they'll be finding a lackey in the media room to sack for letting it slip through.

 

Well done to those who helped make it happen. I was there but mostly kept my head down aside from the 'march'.  None of my family or mates were interested so I went solo. Agree that maybe ought to have vetted the van messages a bit more and maybe eased back a bit on the personal attacks, it ended up as more of an anti-Rudkin protest than one about the wider issues with the club. I'm as Anti-Rudkin as the next man, but yeah, needed a little more on other issues. That Internal Review chant is bloody brilliant by the way. 

 

It's a shame the group got more or less split in two by the traffic lights on Raw Dykes - maybe one to remember if there are future protests. I don't think the front portion clocked it and carried on - should perhaps have stopped at the away corner to allow us at the back to catch up. But overall, it turned some heads and highlighted the unrest in the fanbase to the general public, so well done.

Echo the above.

Met outside the pub and there you had a decent turn out.

BUT 0 leadership just like our club.

Get some people in charge to organise when and where to walk en route.

Keep together with the leaders organising the group.

Sing the same thing to the ground and dont just walk off in different groups.

 

Got to keep doing it and keep the momentum and learn from it.

Good effort though @ProjectReset dont get demoralised just learn how to get it better👍🏾

I think we’ll get a lot more traction with “sack the board” or “you’re not fit to run this club” than we will targeting Rudkin. He's a pawn in all this, the issue comes down to Top not knowing how to run a football club

Imagine instead of spending £500 on the vans, we spent it on printing Rudkin masks and everybody marched wearing them. As we get to the ground, the leaders can mingle back into the crowd and not be easily identified
