Theres is bad and then there is atrocities to the game of football. The last 2 games has been the latter. 

 

I watched us get relegated to league 1 that was bad, but this is another level and the last 10 years has made what is happening now completely unacceptable. To regress so quickly, is unforgivable. 

 

That is the difference and why fans have had enough. It's not as simple as you make out.

 

Did I leave early today...yes as these players don't deserve our support after that.

I've made up an excuse to not go.

My mate has took his kids to Lapland.

3 empty seats in a row.

 

There's your chant for the next game.

 

If anyone can be bothered to go.

Youl never sing that.

After going 3 down,everybody should have left and let them play to an empty stadium live on tv as a protest against this shower of shite.

Getting exactly what they deserve. That first 45 today was a disgrace.

Nope not at all. If I see effort, determination and fight in a team, I'll be with them. Like in the season 14/15. Lost almost every game, bottom of the table, but you could see the fight, determination and the players giving everything. Now, that 1st goal, I'm sorry was Sunday league defending, second just as bad. The players are better than this, some have played in European competitions, played at a higher level yet their attitude stinks. You see players throwing their arms in the air, making the same mistakes again and again. You don't see any leadership on or off the pitch, you don't see anything that you can get behind, bar one player. That is the reason I walked out early and I'm not apologising for it.

 

Each to their own, but at the moment the only way we as fans can show our frustration is with our feet and there isn't anything wrong with that.

People like you live in perpetual victory. Be like this when times are tough so when times are good you can boast you supported the lads through thick and thin.

 

In reality you were enablers of the bad times and did nothing, showed nothing and said nothing when we had thrown away our best opportunity to solidify ourselves as a top team.

I beg to differ, have a fantastic life LCFC have been a massive part of it….I have seen crap times  at LCFC way worse than today…. (Stoke away?) perpetual victory? WTF

We’ve spent as many seasons in League One as we have the Champions League.

 

It shouldn’t be treated as some inevitability.

I do like the "bog standard Championship club" line when historically we are one of the most dominant teams in it.

 

Our fans are now just making things up to justify this. Thankfully Vichai had the determination to drag us towards the top and not be held back by the mediocrity some fans crave.

[funkyrobot]

The most glaringly empty seats were the empty rows set aside for our esteemed owner and his fellow associates. If they can’t be bothered to either attend or fill the seats how can they expect the fans to show up?

I wanted to post this after the Stoke win. I sit in the West Stand near the Kop end, and in the 92nd minute the atmosphere was the loudest and most engaged I’ve heard in ages. Fans at the front were on their feet, roaring the team home. Then this absolute t**t of a steward gets up and starts waving his arms like a maniac, signalling for everyone to sit down. That moment summed up everything that feels rotten at the club right now. He didn’t have the sense to realise the fans were caught up in a huge moment, and the absolute m**t completely killed it — a proper jobsworth KPFC w****r. I honestly wanted to go down to the front and ring his bloody neck, but I then calmed down knowing what the consequences would’ve been.

This club has an unusual craving for stewards. We seem to employ thousands to quell one of the tamest fanbases around. They were lined up close to the directors seats with about 20 supporters, whose average age appeared to be 62, appearing to make no attempt to do anything but clearly about to embark on a full on protest (possibly because the teddies thrown last week didn't head their way)?

But he wants us to be closer !! 
 

it’s just rhetoric that has lasted a couple of weeks. which is what we all expected 
 

Turn up, greet the fans and bugger off again. 
 

Aiyawatt - give it up lad !! We’ve all seen enough

If anyone sits in seats 170 or 169 on row G in P2...........We used to have them before moving! Keep looking and there doesn't look like anybody's moved in!

Empty seats

Abandoned places

Because we know the score...

On and on, does anybody know what we are looking (asking?) for...

King Power won the league - CHECK

Several unnecessary ellipses - CHECK

Meaningless philosophical sounding phrase - CHECK 

Stating the amount of years you’ve supported the club as if it adds more weight to the overall point - CHECK

 

You missed out ‘we were in League One once’ though.

In their defend, Reg did mention L1 in a post further up so it was a full house, just not in one post.

These types of posts piss me off.

 

Whether you go to games is not a measure of how much you care for the club or support the club. There are many factors such as distance, finances and other commitments in life.

 

There is no other supposed entertainment sector area that I can think of, that charges so much when what you are getting is so unguarenteed. The state of the cost of living in this country has put people into a position where they have to make choices and things like paying £100’s to watch this shit, drops off. 
 

I have a suspicion that those who make comments judging people who don’t attend as not real supporters, are probably from a generation or two a bit back where progression at work was handed in a plate and large salaries (relative to the time) were easy to obtain, as well as lovely big houses available at a much lower salary/cost ratio. For the younger amongst us, that is not the case. We have to graft so hard to get those opportunities and even (as with myself) at a position I am happy with, and having to able to buy a nice home at 23 with my wife, we still notice the cost of living. And we are above average so I am clued up enough to understand the position others are in.

 

I can only speak for myself. But I went home and away for years as a child into young adult. I missed the MON glory years. I came in at the the end of the Taylor era, administration, relegation, years of what we are seeing now and then L1 (may favourite season even over 2016 for enjoyment). My time with my wife and daughter and money to fund this, are now my priority. I’m not giving my time and hard earned money, to watch completely tools who earn more in a week than most of us do in a year, show once again they don’t give a f*** and take the piss out of those in the stands week in week out. More fool those who do.

They waged war on our most loyal fans for 15 years chasing corporates and tourists.

 

They deserve every single empty seat.

This is the biggest factor missing in all of the pro-Whelan revisionism going on at the moment.

 

Under her watch, at a time when they never had a better chance to capitalise on it, they made it impossible for new fans to get involved.

 

Even now, they're still choosing to do so. Wild.

There have been equally dark times and we are still here…..it’s what you are looking for isn’t it? New owners fresh start……if Sheffield EpWednesday is an attractive potential purchase, why are we any different?

This is a worse situation than before.

 

We have had administration but from a point of being a Premiership side. We have also had League 1, from a position of more stable finances and an owner in Mandaric who at least knew what he was doing and understood football.

 

We are likely facing administration in the coming couple of years coupled with this happening whilst dropping into League 1. Oh and an owner who doesn’t understand football.

 

That said, where I agree is that I don’t subscribe to the level of concern that there will not actually be a club. Hopefully it will mean Aiyawatt is just forced out and the administrators will do what they are doing at Sheffield Wednesday and find a suitable buyer. Only then can we look forward.

 

But using wording as you are, along the lines of had a good run and enjoyed it, all sees very past tense and shows despite what you say, you have also given up. It’s the way you talk about someone/something dying.

So if the decision is a financial one fair enough, but surely that applies regardless of how well the team are doing or not ?

 

For some, going to the football is a top priority for others it isn’t, and over the years the level of priority changes for some due to circumstances 

 

However the problem with this message board is many posters will not accept that other fellow fans are different to their own circumstances and are therefore wrong.
 

How about listening to others views and respecting them, not slagging them off because they don’t think & act like you
