We're bigger than Blackburn and Stoke. Both of which got about half our attendances when they went down. The rugby club really has no impact on us whatsoever. 

 

When we first go down there will be exactly the same uptake in season tickets and the huge waiting list. It's if we stay down that the flask drinkers realise clinging onto their season tickets doesn't mean they'll get to see Man United the next season that we will get rid of that type of fan. I don't see it as a bad thing. People might actually stay to watch 90 minutes.

I must admit it’s difficult to remember a time I felt this disillusioned and disenfranchised. 
 

Even during our years in the Championship there were players that you rooted for and looked forward to seeing. Now the starting eleven is just full of nonentities I don’t care about.

 

Vardy is the GOAT, but should no longer be in the team let alone still trying to carry it.

Fatawu is exciting, but injured

 

Buananotte isn’t our player

 

Hermandsen is a great prospect, but surely won’t be here much longer

 

Maybe El Khannouss is the only guy I like seeing

 

The rest just fill me with dread or irritation. A bunch of journeymen who have no desire to give their all. I see the team sheet and get angry about not only them, but the appalling transfer strategy that’s seem them arrive in the first place 

[funkyrobot]

Tbf to the club, they’ve switched the tunnel sign back to the 22/23 one. 

[chapero82]

I had never missed a match until last season, now I just check the scores mostly. 
 

this is from someone who loved Leicester so much that they worked at the filbert street kiosks just so I could go to the games as my family could not afford tickets! 
 

I can’t believe how lost I feel with club 

[volpeazzurro]

I wonder how many season ticket holders would be prepared to boycott the Arsenal game and not resell their tickets in order to leave huge gaps in the crowd for any tv cameras to see?

Don't think either Stoke or Blackburn fill theirs either......i think we were getting about 23000 in the champ when Holloway/Levein etc were in charge......and sadly i think that's the way we are going.

[StonyFox]

It has been a huge missed opportunity for the club. With the success we've had in recent years, we should be a solid premier league side around 8th-12th, but the club is rotten to the core. 

 

From top to bottom there is an air of arrogance and delusion that we are doing well. Failure is accepted from the ownership down to the players. 

 

We will go down this season and we won't come straight back up. Our squad will only be good enough for top 8-10 at best next season in the championship, and we'll still have the highest wage bill. 

 

The thing that bothers me the most is my 6 yo is starting to really get into football, and he's going to live through supporting a shite club for a few years to come, my only hope is that it might be better by the time he's a teenager!

I'm definitely considering this, and no way am I letting them resell my seat. But the majority of the fans will want to see arsenal coming to play little Leicester

A good grounding in what a Leicester fan has to deal with!

For crying out loud, it’s a bad period, why are people acting like we’re completely doomed. 

[kingfox]

Gave up my season ticket because of Covid and Anxiety issues, thought I’d miss the KP but looking on it now, it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. 
 

This club has made me feel numb for a good few years now, this season has been an absolute clusterfvck from the start. It’s the final straw for me, something has to change and protests against Arsenal is the start, but we need to keep banging the drum until changes at the top are made. 
 

Until that happens I just can’t be arsed to watch us anymore, why waste two hours having to watch this defence and the likes of Ayew and Reid on the wings. It just brings your mood down and makes you feel depressed. 
 

Luckily Snooker keeps me occupied, and I know it’s extremely difficult to switch off from Leicester City, but to any other posters feeling the same dejected way, just concentrate on other things that you enjoy instead, it will make you feel 10 times better.

Probably because they're actually attuned to the reality of the situation and not living in blissful ignorance

I can only speak for myself but, frankly, i just don’t like the players in this team. They give me very little excitement or interest.  
 

If we’d have gambled on recruiting young players from the Championship or foreign leagues, who put a shift in every week, but ultimately weren’t good enough I think I’d have been more pragmatic about it. 
 

But I just can’t be arsed with the likes of BDCR, Ayew, Skipp and Odsonne ****ing Edouard. It’s just a sh*t show that was so predictable as soon as the summer transfer window shut 

[StriderHiryu]

The current ownership treats us like Customers, not fans. This has been obvious for quite some time, but none more so than the day of our relegation in 2022 when the club advertised the upcoming season's shirt despite it being a last day relegation battle.

 

However, we fans can turn this back at the owners. Treat the "product" that is Leicester City Football Club as the product that it is, complete shite. Go to the games but DON'T buy the shirts, the merchandise or anything like that. That would be the most effective way to change something at the club.

 

I would be bothered if the club continued to plummet down the league. But I would not be bothered if many overpaid executives and players left tomorrow.

Tbh honest, the media hype of Premiership football this year is getting nauseating. I think Liverpool have looked good in fairness but in general it's all getting a bit meh.

 

I found it more entertaining watching Tamworth play Spurs and willing them on! All starting to get a bit samey and dull.

 

I think even those that feel uncomfortable at shouting/booing would find it easy to have a Saturday off, Arsenal really aren't that great to watch anyway and it's mostly likely going to be depressing for us anyway. I think I'm going to explode if I have to watch Nancyboy Garfunkel Sideshow Bob lamely strolling about again ruffling his hair like he's in a Timotei ad!

[Finnaldo]

I got hooked to Leicester when I was a young lad in the mid 00s, season ticket in the Family Stand, watching a brand of football consistently below mediocre, season after season of few wins and 4-0 batterings to Wolves last game of the season, drab football with players that weren’t good enough in front of crowds of sub-25,000, but you were surrounded by supporters who were there because they loved Leicester unconditionally, there was very little attraction outside of that. I remember sat watching Stoke away in 2008 and being absolutely distraught because even though we’d not been good enough we’d battled up to the end, we had one of the better defences in the league if I remember correctly. Then Pearson came in, I started going with my stepdad in L1, and the next eight seasons I was utterly hooked. We won League One, the first time I’d seen a successful Leicester side that wasn’t on an old VHS recording of the Boro League Cup or on Premier League Years. Then we came up and I saw us properly compete in the Championship, even if we were far from the best side, and on a relative shoestring we dug out a fifth place finish, heartbreak in Cardiff, but even with what came after 2009/10 was probably my favourite season. Early teenage nostalgia and a team that was built on grit and team effort and backed by supporters who’d been through years of mediocrity and slow decline but finally realised we were on the up.
 

We all know what happened next, but it’s depressing knowing it’ll never quite feel that way again. Part of it childhood and teenage nostalgia, part of it simply having seen the success we’d never thought we’d hit, but more importantly the club and support seemed to have changed so drastically it’s depressingly alien. Small things in the early KP days like the old frieze that wrapped round the top of the roof, with all the players from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s taken down to be replaced by… a plain blue banner of the badge and King Power. It was never anything drastic in that period but since the league win they realised the credit was near infinite with a good majority and they can do what they like. Statements on ‘legacy fans’, a general resistance to any supporter-backed reform like safe-standing, going into NFT ticketing… and now a bloc of supporters who’ll defend near enough anything, where any criticism no matter how valid is ungratefulness, where an owner, no matter how absent-mindedly or catastrophically he runs things, is always right, and if he isn’t, well you should be grateful for everything he ‘gave’ us.
 

In the late 90s we were a club that punched above it’s weight, in the late 00s we were a club that fought and clawed for everything, in the 10s we were the great disruptor. We’re now a club who should be grateful we’re being ran into the ground.

 

I’ve drifted away from the club since Covid, essentially locked out of tickets up until being skeptical and ultimately disillusioned abd disconnected by the running of the club. I’ve picked up non-league, love it, and felt a bit of what made those early years so special. Leicester has lost me almost entirely at this point, there’s too much history to fully let go but I’m happy to watch from a distance, or borrow a season ticket here very occasionally and avoid rewarding this regime with any money. It’s a massive shame but I retain the hope that  maybe one day it’ll be different and I can take my own kid to a club that resembles what I grew to love.

the ownership and boardroom structure have conclusively demonstrated an allergy to making good decisions or learning from mistakes. If the captain is purposefully running the ship into rocks, it doesn't matter how good the bosun is or how much effort the crew put into bailing, the ships going down.

Some people still just don’t get it. It’s not about a bad period. A bad period was 2004-2008 culminating in relegation to League 1. However, even then, we just had limited resources following administration and relegation but we couldn’t be accused on not trying as a club. We just needed to go back to come forwards.

 

This is completely self inflicted. We had the highest starting point in the clubs history. Yes PSR might be fixed to stop clubs like us challenging at the top permanently but it doesn’t make us spend on shit and get relegated. That is because the club is run as badly as it ever has been (possibly the period around Peter Taylor and administration as well). 
 

It’s the lack of positive indication for the future. Great for you if you think we can just rock up and win the Championship against next season just because we are Leicester. Those of us who are realistic, can see where this is going.

You're going to let him support Yanited?

 

Joking aside kids of his age should be watching a strong prem team. But it's all been pissed up the wall.

[CrazyKopCorner]

I've been going for nearly 50 years and loved the club unconditionally. 

 

But it's become a club I no longer recognise in the last 5 years or so with continued poor decisions and 2 fingers shown to the fans shows that my support is no longer valued. 

 

LCFC has become an exceptionally cruel mistress and one you have to ask the question is it worth the time, effort and considerable cost. 

[Bozman]

I don't get to many games these days but watch all the games , thank god we are moving in to Golf season time to concentrate on my handicap.. 

[Lesta2014]

If we have PSR issues still we won’t be risking money in summer in the championship, meaning we will rely on loans and the youth team, get behind them and we may get some of the lcfc spirit back and foxes never quit.

 

right now though I’ve never felt so detached and far away from that saying. 

[huddersfieldfox]

To me the nail in the coffin was the appointment of RVN. No real experience, it's not what we needed. He hasn't worked with players that think they are premier league players but are not. I can see another wet, damp , soggy day at Oldham on the horizon
