Not renewing my season ticket: I cannot be only one

[LinekersLugs]

bit sad this morning as I have made the decision that after 33 years I’m going to give up my season ticket at the end of this season. 

 

For over three decades, I’ve lived every moment with the club: the unbelievable promotions, the miraculous Premier League title which will stay with me forever, the FA Cup glory, European adventures that my kids thought were Normal events for us as a club, and the inevitable heartbreaks of relegations.
 

Filbert Street was my second home, The KP my man cave 😂, the blue shirt part of my identity, and supporting City brought joy, pride, and unbreakable community.

 

But my loyalty has limits. The club I cherished, rooted in family values, ambition, and fan connection, has drifted far from those foundations.
 

Under Top and Rudkin, we’ve fallen from the Premier League summit to the Championship relegation zone, facing the real threat of League One next season

 

their Mismanagement, poor decisions, financial vandalism, lengthy managerial voids, points deductions, and a growing disconnect from supporters have shattered any trust I had in them to turn this mess around.
 

I can no longer fund or endorse this toxic regime that seems indifferent to our unhappiness. Relinquishing my season ticket is not abandoning my club it’s actually my way of saying piss off Top the club is bigger than you, me or anyone else 

 

It’s a deliberate protest it my only way of saying there are boundaries to what loyal fans can endure when the club slips down through neglect and poor stewardship.

 

 whether you stay, protest, or step back, we are no longer united by our love for the Foxes, the support is fractured, KPFC loyalists who are blind to what Top has done, some how trauma bonded to him because of his father’s accident, and the rest of us that despise what Top has overseen and want change now, it’s not a pleasant experience at the moment being at the KP. 

 

I’ll always be a Fox, I’ll buy a little transistor radio and listen on the radio and following results, cheering successes, hoping for the day Leicester returns to a club I can back proudly.

 

This is my line in the sand, and I will not cross it till this regime is gone 

 

I’m sure I’m not the only one ?

At present I am the same. However I’m open to changing my mind if there is significant changes at board level.

Gave up mine at the end of last season

Same. Just couldn't see the point in giving KP anymore money until significant boardroom changes made. 
 

I haven't missed it much either to be honest with the current shenanigans going on. 
 

Can anyone name 3 games that have warranted an entrance fee? 

[CrazyKopCorner]

I have 2 season tickets and have had for 30 years +. It's a small fortune for me on something I get nothing out of anymore - I don't recognise our club 

 

I would have packed it a few years ago but the new section has kept me going although even they have had the life sucked out of them with this board and this group of players. 

 

At the moment there is not one good reason I can think of to renew apart from blinding stupid loyalty but at some point you have to turn away when you're being metaphorically kicked in the face

Cancelled mine this week. Feel largely the same. Will still go every now and again but also go and see Harborough Town and a few trips to watch Tigers. Just dont feel anything towards the club anymore.

[Dan]

I think plenty keep theirs to keep their loyalty points. I've no concern about getting tickets to be honest when I can again though.

Exactly the same as you buddy.

My first game was City v Cambridge 5-0 and 2nd game was was the Wembley Blackburn game!

Had a season ticket ever since and have been trhough many seasons of crap and was on the Fans CC under Milan Mandarics reign.

BUT i literally feel it being a chore now and have no connection with this club.

 

I actually wouldn't even give a feck if it folded  at the moment and that is bad!

[Officer Doofy]

I had mine for 20 years until this year. Gave it up this season and genuinely the best decision by far. 

 

You don't need a ST and you wont need one for a very very long time. Choose the odd game if you miss it (I bet you don't)

I gave up mine at the end of last season. I thought this season was going to be grim. I did not realize how bad it would be. I do not know how people stomach watching something you love be destroyed slowly and painfully. I just could not do it anymore. We have been through this kind of pain before. I just hope the club survive. I am not sure Top has the know how to get out of it and Rudkin....well nothing needs to be said. We have gambled to break into the top 8  and lost. Please just give us something to root for again.

[Tommy G]

Gave it up at the end of last season as could see the writing on the wall as did many others. Haven't missed it one bit, had it for 17 years.

Yes I will also keep the door open but my mind will only change with Rudkins removal 

[Katy]

I cancelled mine last week, no point in prolonging the agony and lining KP’s pockets further. It’s like recycling and driving an electric car, you do your individual bit for the greater good. It all adds up.

I just cant bring myself to let mine go knowing how difficult it will be to get one again in the future. My daughter is 19 years old and hopefully still some time away but i would like to think that i will become a grandad at some point. To which i would love nothing more than to take the grandkid to the football.

 

Ive barely been this season. But for years ive always said i will never get rid of my season ticket. I just think in 5-10 years time ill be saying to myself god i wish i kept it. 

 

My brother gave his season ticket up after the great escape season (work related reasons) We then went and won the league. He was devastated to give his up. I think that's what's stopping me. Ive seen first hand someone regretting giving it up

Can understand this too BUT what else is there for you to see?

My 1st away game was Peterboro away when a coupe of supporters went onto the pitch and it was mayhem..i fecking loved it!!! 

[drew]

I packed in last year after 20 seasons, not been back this year. Don't miss match days, the environment became increasingly toxic, i'd rather not be a part of it or experience it.

[StonyFox]

I think I'm going to give mine up after this season, got my first one in 94/95. The joy of going has just been stripped away over the past couple of seasons, and it's slipped down the priorities of things I went to spend my free time doing. 

 

I've only been to about 5 games this season, and if I didn't have a season ticket, I wouldn't have had any issues getting individual tickets. 

 

It's going to take a few years and a change of ownership before we get to a position where games sell out quickly, so having a season ticket I barely use is a waste of money.

That's when we had 2 sides of the game and there were streakers - unfortunately male 

 

Yes we were a bit of basket case support back then - I really miss it too

You won't need a ST for a very long time. 

 

I just don't understand the mentality of having a ST and hardly going. They will be begging you to go soon (they already are tbf)

We are now, just not in a funny or good way.

No you're the only one. Nobody else is upset.

Supporter since 1993. Never felt so disinterested.

I worked so hard after lockdown to get my son a ST. Three gruelling years of Fox Memberships and going to almost every home game. However those memories are the best ones I have with him. European nights, panning Man U with Ronaldo 4-2, Wembley for the Shield… It’s hard to believe that we’re talking about the same club. The drop off is humiliating.
