How excited are you for the new season?

[Phil Mitchell]

Only positive spin I can put on it is that I was crying out for marti, looking forward to seeing what he can do but everything else Leicester related can do one. Phil

[Fazzer 7]

No enthusiasm whatsoever atm. 

[Nalis]

Fvck it, I'm onboard HMS PTL

[sylofox]

A solid 0 out of 10 for me.

 

I think we've only seen the tip of the iceberg. Probably 12 months off of being Sheffield Wednesday.

[Groby_Blue]

I'm getting Enzo vibes but in turbo mode. I really do think we'll do well under Marti. If players aren't performing, he won't play them and he won't put up with substandard performances. 

 

I wasn't excited at all about last season as soon as Cooper was appointed, I hoped for an upturn under RvN but then we all witnessed the car crash unfolding. 

 

I am looking forward to a season in the Champo much more than another season of struggle in the PL and, selfishly, I'm really pleased that so many games are on TV. 

 

A lapsed season ticket holder of decades, I don't even think about getting a ticket for a home game now (I hope that changes this season) but I am going to Charlton away and looking forward to that. 

 

I want to see my team doing well again without validating what Top, Rudkin and the rest have done to my club.

Looking forward to it, as i do every season, unfortunately i dont get out my tree over

Top, Whealan, Rudkin ect, i dont give a toss, for me its all about 2 teams playing a 

football match ,meeting the lad, a couple of jars before and a take away after, my day away from the

everyday life

[GlenParvaFox]

No excitement. I was 100% happy to not renew until my dad and mate decided to carry on.

I'm still not overly bothered.

 

Having said that, I'm on here everyday so I must be.

[nnfox]

I'm very excited with the on-the-pitch prospects... Academy graduates, wingers, new manager, should be great to watch going forward.

 

I'm not very excited with the off-the-pitch situation.  There are still massive issues that need sorting out.

[jayfox26]

Always want to be positive but definitely feeling like Rudkin, Top etc have drained the life out of the club. Even if we have a good season and get promoted, we are just papering over cracks like under Maresca, the big issues within the club will still be there and becoming an established prem team again rather than a yoyo team, seems a million miles away right now. 

[TiffToff88]

Least excited I've ever been for a new season. Obviously for all the crap going off on and off the pitch. But for a number of reasons (mainly financial and logistical), this is the first season since 1995 that I wont have a season ticket in some form or another. I've never felt as disconnected from the club as I do right now

[CrazyKopCorner]

I'm number 1 - Kingpower and Rudkin have drained the life out of me but also 3 in terms of looking forward to hopefully watching Monga, Nelson, Alves, Abdul (I know he's not academy but he feels one of ours). 

[Livid]

Hovering around 5!

 

I think as a STH I only went to 60% of the home games last season.

 

I've had to move seats due to the safe standing area so it feels like a fresh start, I've been impressed by what i've heard and seen of the new manager so far and we have players who should be able to more than hold their own in the championship.

 

On the other hand the club is a total basket case of a financial mess, no new blood seems to be coming in until some of the quality players have moved on.  We have some quality coming through from the academy but i don't want us to throw them in too soon. 

 

Top Six and I would be very happy but with and impending points deduction, and i'm hoping Nick De Marco is able to weave some more legal magic, I just can't see anything more than a upper mid table finish. 

 

 

[KingsX]

2.5  Rather conveniently, I'm falling out of love with football at the same time as those in charge all but demand we fall out of love with LCFC.

 

Despite horrific results and the destruction of hundreds of millions of pounds in value, the same people remain in the same jobs making the same (incredibly obvious) mistakes.  So there really is no hope for anything but ongoing decline, as the last of what Khun Vichai built (squad, club reputation, goodwill) stays left out in the sun to melt.  But we'll always have the nicest building in football.

 

An old truism about family wealth is that the first generation makes it, the next generation consolidates it, and the third generation, spoiled from childhood, pisses it away.  Our owners seem to have skipped a generation.

 

If you haven't been going down the Filbo/KP for years with your family and/or mates, how do you maintain keen interest in a shitshow? 

 

I'll probably be able to watch two or three matches per month and that ought to be enough for me

[Blueman1967]

7/10 for me, what ever is happening, it's a new season, looking for promotion 

[Dan]

Literally 0. I wouldn't give a single shit if the Wednesday game didn't go ahead.

 

But that is partly driven by my own circumstance of being banned for nothing. I'd have some buzz if I was able to actually go although I don't think it would be very high. But yeah the club banning me for literally nothing puts it at bang on 0 for me.

[Tuna]

Barely interested to be honest. The nonsense of the last few years has gotten tedious.

[SystonFox]

i have mentioned it a few times but Sheffield Wednesday absolutely will beat us if they can even fulfil the fixture. We are Leicester City. This is who we are. It's what we do. I am still looking forward to it because I get to spend quality time with my son, my mates and their kids. LCFC scoring a goal as a feeling will never be beat. Last seasons opener when Vardy nodded the equaliser I celebrated that as much as any goal in 15/16... you cannot beat that.

[Dan]

Can I bet against some of you who think we'll lose to Wednesday. I'm as cynical as anyone and even I think we'll hammer them. It's like nothing I've ever seen - it's a step up from even that Hull game.

[RoboFox]

I've been genuinely thinking about binning it off and going to watch Harborough Town instead. Probably the least excited I've ever been for a season and I was one of the 250 people that turned up for the first game of the League One campaign. 

 

I could get on board if the team were just shit, that's fine. But we're shit AND the football club is just so ****ing dislikable. It stinks. 

 

Plus the nPower season is a slog, the football at times is absolutely atrocious and I don't think it's going to be anywhere near as easy as some of our support seems to think. Two seasons ago it ain't.

[dmayne7]

I'm in 3-5 but purely for the academy players. Actually nice to not have the weekend dominated by our rubbish.

[Lutterworth Fox]

Can't wait, got my season ticket for the first time, £120 for 21 home league games. Genuine promotion prospects.

COME ON YOU BEES!!!

Oh, you're talking about Leicester Shitty,

I'm talking about Harborough Town.

Southern League Premier Central....now that's proper football!

[Jacob7839]

Just missing them weekends 

[OntarioFox]

Probably a 3 for me. Moved away from Leicestershire in March and now have a non-league team on my doorstep, so my interest in LCFC is even lower than it would have been.

 

I'm actually more excited about the matchdays I will attend than I thought I would be, but that's because I'll be seeing faces I've not seen for a few months instead of a few weeks. Youth aside I have zero interest in what happens this season, because nothing has happened either at boardroom level or to shift out the clowns on the pitch who I never want to see wear our badge again.

[Golden Fox]

The slog of a Championship season playing the likes of Charlton, Oxford, Preston etc. just feels like a chore.

 

2 years ago I got really energised by Maresca coming in and watching videos on his tactics, and watching the game in a fresh way. After years of the Premier League, it was also fresh to be in a different league.

 

Last year, I was gutted when Maresca left as I had thought he was building something here, but that feeling of being back in the top flight, playing the big sides again after a year away and seeing Leicester mentioned in all the season previews etc. is always infectious.

 

But this year, I'm not feeling any of that. Yes, I've watched some videos of Mart's tactics and how they contrast with Enzo's, but its the same basis approach, and I can't help thinking after what happened to Man City this year, that football is moving on, and that approach is starting to be worked out. I'm also refusing to get carried away as it feels as though Marti is looking to use us as a stepping stone, and if things go well, he will be looking for his next role. There is no novelty of playing in the Championship as we have just been there and done that.

 

The thing I should be interested in is that it might be that match day tickets are easier to come by. After years of complaining that it was so difficult to get tickets for games, once they had a few games come available last year, it was later in the season and I found I had no desire to actually go and watch the dross they were serving up. But if they are more available, and the team is younger, and I can get to a few games, I might find I do start feeling it again. But at this point, its a might...

[CosbehFox]

3-5 I'll be glad to watch some football again. 

 

However I am getting very tired (almost to the point of sadness) that the club has utterly downed tools in a number of areas. Even if you park playing performance to aside, their lack of regards for supporters. Ticketing, sponsorship, shirts, women's team, community ventures et al, they have given up.
