I think there’s some fair points being made even if you take out the expletives

Punching bag ? Haha. Go see the statement where they met the utter waste of life in Whelan and felt the need to praise her passion. A ceo who has seen the clubs value and security plummet. I’m sorry anyone in a leadership role with these lot deserves all it gets. They wouldn’t get anywhere near one in real life

Yeah and that’s fine.
 

In fact had a good chat with one poster who here wanted to made good suggestions and wanted to make clear they were not being pointed with it. 
 

But I’m see unacceptable language being used while people won’t actively get involved with the whole process of fan groups etc. If people want to shape it, get involved

The Trust welcomes today’s news that the Club has, in line with the request made by us in an Open Letter on February 27th, frozen season ticket prices for next season.

 

In a time where many clubs have continued to hike prices for loyal fans, freezing prices for Leicester City fans is a welcome step. Whilst the division our football club is to play in next season is yet to be confirmed, freezing prices ensures that fans either continue to see either Premier League football at the same prices as this season or an additional 4 fixtures should relegation to The Championship be our fate. 

 

Match day pricing for next season has yet to be announced by the Club and we hope the club will heed the advice in our Open Letter to consult fan groups before determining this. To be clear: we are calling for freezes in match day ticket prices as a bare minimum should the club remain in the Premier League, and reductions should the club find itself in The Championship for next season.

 

Prices for individual tickets are already drastically out of proportion to per-game season ticket costs, and many of our supporters cannot commit to a season ticket or obtain one due to limited supply. These supporters should not be punished with extortionate pricing for the games that they are able to attend.   

 

Sensible pricing is the gateway to new and younger supporters becoming the future regulars at the KP and will also help to boost attendance at some of the less popular fixtures. Leicester City has the chance to show supporters how much it appreciates them with match day pricing for the 2025/26 season, we call on them to do the right thing.

This line honestly shows how far out of touch your little KPFC bandwagon is.

 

Joke of a “supporters trust”.

I guess some people are beyond hope. 
 

I know you are a new member, but there are plenty of the old guard still there and I’d question if they laid out their achievements in life - have they managed or influenced successful change in their working life? Because yes men (and women) will mean the FT will still be an organisation that doesn’t push change at the club or hold them accountable.

It's kind of bullshit that the only way for fans to get decent representation from the groups that represent them is to join them though.

What abuse ? This lot met a ceo who is failing as per my other post. And praised her passion. Felt the need not to call them out. They’ve released multiple reports criticising the fanbase. As I said, anyone part of this needs calling out. It’s a voice piece for the failing leadership. They need thicker skin if that’s what they’re about because the betterment of the club is not it. 
 

praising 4 additional games - idiots

Regardless of the people on the board, their achievements and their capabilities, it can only change in personnel if people want to change it.
 

The board is the board because the fanbase hasn’t been willing to actually do anything about it

Wouldn't use the term "punchbag". What about "self-serving waste of space" instead?

Honestly very hard to find the right pejoratives to describe FT and their obsequious relationship with KP. What would you recommend?

[Clogger_]

Thinking about this, I reckon I actually prefer Cliff to this lot(!) At least we know he's a legit supporter of our club, and he does not claim to have any influence. He's also funny

[Chrysalis]

What are you doing about the current board level problems? Or wont you challenge the club in that area?

No but it’s quality over quantity. You are better off having 5 or 6 people who have a track record of driving change in an organisation - who aren’t afraid to challenge the club - who can go toe to toe with seniors at LCFC without a second thought. 
 

I sometimes think the UFS statements are poorly worded and a bit “shoot from the hip” but at least they call the club out on a number of issues. 
 

The Foxestrust is just too wishy washy for me to ever drive change. 
 

Good luck

Agree FT won't ever drive change, but can't agree that corporate types should ever represent the fanbase. Most of these are shocking suck-ups: that's how they climb the greasy pole. Bottom line is change isn't going to be negotiated here, is it?!

Or good at their job? One or the other.

[sylofox]

The trust welcomes a freeze?

 

They should be pushing for a refund.

What about drawing on expertise from Trades Unions. At least their leaders have experience of representing their members in challenging negotiations with an uneven power balance.

 

Anyway negotiation isn't going to change anything. Either Top throws the towel in, or our fanbase will have to make this happen

The trust providing as much accountability as the board. Nice job.

There’s plenty of people that want to do something about it. But cliques, closed books and people not wanting to damage their “relationship” with the club stops this. 
 

The club first and foremost want, and are having it their way or no way which is just plain to see. Anyone that goes against the grain they don’t want. They’re even sending letters out to people they’ve chose to ban telling them they cannot say anything derogatory about the club on social media etc. 

 

This once wonderful football club is being ran into the ground by the powers that be, everyone can see it but their global brand/expansion whatever they think they’re building is more important to them. 
 

The failings of the board over the last 4 years is absolute catastrophic. The ineptitude and consistency in failing to correct their mistakes is absolutely staggering. 

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Lots of fans in this thread wanting the club to announce a price reduction for a relegation that, although we as fans know is coming, the club cannot themselves take as given publicly.

 

Have you been in touch with the club to ask for this price reduction? Do you believe it to be realistic prospect or is it just easy to kick the Trust when it’s trying to secure something rather than nothing?

 

If we stay up (unlikely I know - but certainly wasn’t quite so unlikely when the Trust opened this dialogue with the club), the Trust has secured a freeze where other clubs are whacking prices up. If we go down, the club was never going to reduce prices, and that’s why they’re announcing things now rather than waiting.

 

The Trust is putting pressure on the club to reduce match day prices with a relegation - which is where the real disgraceful pricing is seen most - but it’s easier to ignore that and shout and moan without doing anything to actually impact of course…

[foxile5]

If we approach this from the perspective of football as a business and an entertainment entity - it's insulting they think that the prices should be comparable to the last two seasons.

 

Diminished performances and almost certainly a diminished product next year.
