Place is gonna be full of "goat" stuff.

 

Still undecided if I'm going. Haven't been to a home game since Brentford. And for everything Vardy has done for this club I probably won't remember some random game against Ipswich in years to come.

But it’s not a random game it’s his final game for City. You’re obviously not a very committed fan if you can just dismiss his last game as “some random game”.

Will Vardy be doing a lap or laps of honour. Will he be doing a speech for the fans!. Its not about the game it's about the occasion. His last game for us will be memorable because it is his last game for us. The result is irrelevant.

There is clause in his original transfer fee if he plays more than 500 games for us we have to make an additional bonus payment of £10 to Fleetwood???

Is that true I knew had to be a reason he wasnt playing a 501 game for us ?

[fazzyfox]

Just heard that he’s received special dispensation to play in his Spider Man costume 

[Ricey]

Knowing the club, we’ll barely be able to make out Vardy after the match due to the amount of families members and Thai influencers on the pitch.

 

It’ll be chaotic, like our other ‘celebrations’, with little consideration for the fans in the stand. Last season’s trophy lift was a complete mess.

 

Give him a guard of honour and then let him to do a full lap on his own with his family, no one else. Give every corner of the stadium the chance to show their appreciation.

[ealingfox]

Horrible how obviously they're using this to hide behind and muffle any potential disquiet about the season. 

[fox_up_north]

If I were Ipswich, I'd 100% want him to not score and give it large. This will be proper cringe. 

 

This isn't me saying I don't want him to. It's me recognising how much he winds up oppo teams.

Everyone's gonna be clapping and having a ball as we begin to draw the curtain on one of our most shambolic seasons ever.

 

KP are loving every minute of this.

The whole statement reads like disconnected corporate bollocks.

 

This is about optics for King Power and club shop/international website sales.

 

The most 'of the people' player of his generation and a proper genuine footballer is being co-opted by King Power as they rob the fans of a far more meaningful tribute, while the club falls down around our ears.

 

The whole thing is pretty sickening. 

Fun sponge, it’s one game and i will be delighted to cheer him off.No chance in my lifetime that i will see a more loyal player to lcfc.Be nice if he flashed his arse at Ruskin and told him to kiss it though

[PAULCFC]

Prefer to remember him from the goal at WBA in the great escape,Sunderland away in 2016 and the 2 v Liverpool.

Only temporary. The ground will be full not due to a love of the ownership but one man who is leaving. They can't wheel him out to show off  the great man as they have been able to for the last decade.

 

Anti-board sentiment is growing and it won't take much, a couple of early defeats probably, to see complaints next season.

[Torten]

I won't let my dissatisfaction with the club and ownership keep me from showing my appreciation to our greatest ever. They don't deserve it.

Vardy should do his lap of honour and then leave the pitch before the board does a lap of shame 

[Trav Le Bleu]

This is going to be like Bradman getting out for 99 in his last innings, isn't it?

Nonsense!

[ian__marshall]

I wished we could get this going on Sunday to the tune of Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt. Will never happen but if Carlsberg did leaving anthems... 

 

We are all dreamers and when we wake

You built our spirits, it's dreams you make

And as you move on, remember city

Remember us and all we used to be

 

We've seen you cry, we've seen you smile
We've watched you run for many miles
We've come so far it's f**king wild 

We'd spend a lifetime with you

 

We know your fears and you know ours
You had your doubts but now we're fine
And we love you, we swear that's true
We cannot live without you

 

Goodbye our Jamie
Goodbye our friend
You have been the one
You have brought us all much glee

 

Goodbye our Jamie
Goodbye our friend
You have been the one
You have brought us all much glee

Nah

 

It’s going to be like Stuart Broad

Wont be surprised if they cash in further by arranging a testimonial on a later date.

Your cricket knowledge is out by 99, I think, if you mean the below.

 

"The best known moment in the career of Australia's greatest cricketer is glorious failure. Don Bradman's final innings duck in the fifth Ashes Test in 1948 at the Oval had little bearing on the match. His team won by an innings and 149 runs, clinching the series 4-0. It is failure, yet it underpins the Bradman legend."

Hope he gets subbed on 70mins,and then does his lap and bows out.

We've got a bus to catch and always leave 

On 80 mins to make sure.

Much like a man with orthopaedic insoles, I stand corrected.

Has this ever happened before at another club? 

It is an odd situation though, I'm glad we've got the opportunity to say goodbye to him at home, and i really hope people can do the mental gymnastics needed to enjoy the occasion, not get too enraged by Thai influencers, it's not thier fault.

Anyhow Vardy's miles bigger than King Power, he unites us all, KPFC love him, UFS love him, be good if everyone could forget about the shit show of a season and who's responsible for a day, and just enjoy it for what it is. 

Save Rudkin out for Bournemouth.

 

Maybe that's it, he wants to be in away end at Bournemouth with the fans in the prem, one last time, he loves all that and never gets to do it, skittles vodka for breakfast, go down on the coach, good old sing song, call Rudkin a bellend, night out at the sea side.

Isn't football organised fun? Isn't that what we're there for?
