Ashamed

[fazzyfox]

It’s not about points, divisions or results it’s about standards. Currently if a player doesn’t put effort in, gets the basics wrong, buckles under pressure , doesn’t want the responsibility of being on the ball and shows no leadership or drive to improve they are still handed a starting place the following week, no questions asked, pat on the back, go again son. I’d rather see our hungry youth players beaten 3-0 every week than ever see these two faced all talk no action t**ts ever again. They do not represent me, the city or county, the work ethic and honesty is not there.

So what if they have told you it has nothing at all to do with the league we're in, you view that as a cop out. Right...

Yep. The club will go on long after KP have gone and whether or not I renew a season ticket is not going to influence what they do next.

I get it. The same argument I hear from those wishing to avoid personal inconvenience for the benefit of the environment: "what I do doesn't matter." Selfish, no?

[Jakemoore]

This resonates with me big time. Dad brought us up as Leicester fans in SE London. It was always pretty tough as kids but not so bad the past 10 years or so.

 

But at this time, I feel totally embarrassed to support this club of ours.

 

Top, Rudkin and the board have killed our club.

 

They need to go. They won’t. We all know they won’t. But whilst they’re here, I don’t really see any way back.

The idea that it’s more convenient to go and watch a double relegation than to stay away is…cute.

Fans have nothing to be ashamed of.

 

What's happened/happening is not on us.

[Spudulike]

I've only just got home. I'm done. No more for the forseeable.

 

Coming out of SK4 I overheard a woman doing her nut about City fans booing and abusing our players. We are all entitled, apparently, and have only ever known success. I didn't have the energy to engage or the self control.

 

This is my 60th season supporting this club. I've seen everything, the low low's, the highest of high's but, without being dramatic, these are the worst performing group of players I have ever seen wearing a City shirt. My old Dad is probably turning in his Welford Road grave.

 

That's what I should've told the SK4 woman but I'm broken as a fan. At this moment I'll also be taking next season off.

 

Very sad tonight as it's a big connection that I have with my son. Our days out down the City are finished, probably for good.

[tickler28]

Top should be ashamed...his Dad will be turning in his grave with how we've become.....stadium expansion (don't make me laugh), Seagrave resort in League 1 😅😅😅😅 what a joke....fold the club

[Grumpy Fox]

We all ended up as City fans for a variety of reasons and not just birthright. I am Northants a bordering county and choose Leicester simply because I loved their scarf that was on sale when I went to an England schoolboys international at the proper Wembley in early 1970s. My first season ticket in the double decker at Filbert Street, we got relegated. I biggest thing I remember about that and other relegations was despite it being sad it was exciting and the club and supporters fought all the way. Not like now where we have this pathetic resignation and a massive air of apathy from the club.

Am I ashamed, no, because other teams genuine fans understand and respect your loyalty.

Am I angry, yes 100%

Am I sad, yes incredibly

The rise and fall and fall of LCFC

[Mendi]

The club has been killed by TOP poor decisions.

[StevieH]

Grandfather and father both from Leicester and I've always lived down south. Supported them for over 50 years and have seen many ups and downs. Just find the whole situation very sad. I know we don't have a right to top tier football but to drop to tier 3 is desperate and I really feel for the supporters who turn up week in week out. Just remember it's only a game and we've got a group of players that just aren't bothered. Hopefully in league 1 all the good youngsters we have will have an opportunity and the supporters can get that connection back.

Even putting aside the absolute and factually incorrect nonsense about entitlement, I am genuinely amazed people want to really back these players over the supporters.

 

Lying and twisting the history of the club is one thing- endlessly backing these charlatans is another thing entirely.

[Cheddar Fox]

I’m similar to JayFox. Except my mum was from Leicester and I was born and raised in the West Country. Proudly supported the Foxes from Somerset since my first game in Bristol in 1969. What’s happening to the club now is heartbreaking but I will keep the faith and drive up to my usual 4-5 games a season whatever division we wind up in.

Is it really much different? People dropping their support because of third tier football clearly weren’t that attached to the club to begin with…they were attached to success.

 

And yes, our whole family in MH are football fans!

What is there to support any more? A team full of spineless mercenaries who despite being the highest paid in the division are 23rd in the league? Owners and a corporate structure so incompetent that they've delivered back to back relegations whilst overspending so much that we've broken PSR rules and have no chance to bounce back because they've already mortgaged future income? This is way more than the slings and arrows of fate that all football fans accept. 

[blueharmie]

Is anyone actually arsed ? It's our club??

 

I can't stomach it anymore but we're down without a wimper.

Most normal clubs you'd see some aggression on and off the pitch but it's absolutely dead. 

Finished club. 

[Mickyblueeyes]

Im

ashamed of those who sit in our fanbase. Horrible, thick, useless, uninspiring, spineless bastards bowing up to a 5’3 man child. It’s embarrassing

For the first time in my life, I actually feel ashamed to say im a Leicester fan. 

 

Bit of background, but my Dad was from Leicester and always supported them, so despite me living my whole life in the north West, I've always proudly supported Leicester since being 7 and went to my first game on my 10th birthday, 3-3 draw with Arsenal at Filbert Street. 

 

Spent my whole youth being surrounded by Man U and Liverpool plus Bolton fans and constantly being asked "why do you support Leicester" and regardless of what league we were in or how we were doing, I always proudly wore my shirts and never bothered about other people slating me for my football choices. 

 

My kids now wear leicester shirts to but im now at a point where I dont feel proud to support Leicester anymore. 

 

People at work always want to talk about football and have a little dig about leicester being rubbish and I dont even engage in conversation about foorball anymore. 

 

This owner, board and players have destroyed any enjoyment I've ever had in football. 

 

I will always look back fondly about our trips to Wembley in play offs and league cups plus of course the title win and fa cup win, and even times when we weren't very good but we were always proud of our team and our players. 

 

Of course me never living in the city may have a different outlook to others but im genuinely interested to see if others feel the same. 

 

Are people proud to say they support Leicester right now? 

 

Do people enjoy our games? 

 

Im not one that suffers with mental health as such but football has been my whole life and im now at an age (because of injuries) that i dont play anymore, and im finding i dont even enjoy watching football anymore and it makes me really sad. 

 

I do hope that one day I will get back watching games again, and im not even bothered what league we are in but I just want a club and a group of players that I can feel pride in again. Everyone and everything about this club currently makes me feel sick. 

That was my first ever Leicester game as well. I completely relate to your post in its entirety. We are finished as a club. I just can’t see how and when we even begin to recover from the damage that those two clowns have done. I am embarrassed and ashamed.
 

Being crap is one thing, 3 relegations in 4 seasons another, but continuously taking the p1ss out of your own loyal fans is beyond everything else that’s wrong with this club. I see no positives, at all.
 

On football as a whole, the beautiful game just isn’t beautiful anymore.

"We have only ever known success" as we sit on the brink of a third relegation in four years is elite level.

[desertfox2]

Not ashamed but feels like a relationship that has gone from being completely in love to struggling to be in the same room together. It is so hard to care about something that the other side is completely destroying and doesn't seem to care at all about.  I'll never be ashamed to be a Leicester fan though as the people ruining it will leave eventually and then hopefully we will get our club back. This too shall pass and all that.

I was born in Chorley, Dad from Blackpool, Mam from Leicester, didnt move back to Leicester until 1970, supported City since I was 7 and understood footie, 1st game vs bury in fa cup 1976, married a geordie in 1989 and have lived in north east ever since. follow everything leicester,  tigers riders lions cricket et al. Loved the fact we were an up and down club with bright moments that were few and far between. Couldn't believe when the great escape was followed by that win, was roundly congratulated by all my Geordie & Mackem mates. I'm also not ashamed, I'm ****ing angry at the ineptitude and general lassez faire attitude of the peeps in charge. How can you go from being the best run club in the UK to the 2nd worst (Sheff Wed fans I feel your pain). However, for an establishment that lets Bury, Macclesfield etc go under but then doles points deductions out to any club that dare to spend money to try to compete with the "Top Six"  can go fook itself. We were relegated twice in the FFP period. What advantage did we gain? I will support LTID but Bromley away? Really......

I currently live in Chorley and may end up taking my kids watching them rather than the KPFC horror show

[hejammy]

You see there are some people that think "oh look at these entitled fans" or "just get behind the team", "we have been in league 1 before", "where were you before 2015" etc etc. 

 

But these people just don't get it. It isn't the fact that we're heading for league one, or that we're not competing for champions league. It's how far we have fallen due to completely being inept, rewarding failure and being in denial. The fact that Top cannot be bothered to turn up, Rudkin just being the yes man with no accountability. The embarrassingly poor disconnect with the fans from what we had. Top and Vichai are world's apart. All the stories about our former players just being frozen out, Kasper being treated the way he was. Rogers getting his son paid through awful transfers. The club has turned from one of the world's best run clubs to quite frankly one of the worst. How this can happen in such a short space of time is mind boggling. Embarrassment, ashamed, disheartening. Just no joy in Leicester City at the moment regardless of what position or league we are in.

I've been a supporter since the beginning of the 90's when I moved to Leicester for Uni, before that I used to go and watch Kettering Town at Rockingham Road. So like the rest of you I've seen plenty of shit, I too was on the bus trip to Madrid, and of course we've also achieved the ultimate dream. I have great memories that will stay with me forever.

 

When we were relegated this time I was looking forward to a bit of banter with my Charlton supporting son in law, watching him all excited to be promoted to the Championship was quite sweet! And we had some banter at the beginning of the season, mind the gap and all that, but now we just don't really talk about it. I think he pities me, and that's quite hard to take, but understandable given where we are.

 

I've said here before, like the rest of you, I used to know exactly when we were playing, I could have reeled off the run in to anyone who would listen and I could have named virtually all the players from every team in our league, I'd watch every match I could. Now I'd probably struggle to remember every team in the league, never mind name half the players.

 

My love for my club and football in general has gradually been sucked out of me, and it's not entitlement, it's just sadness that's turned into complete apathy followed by anger at the way we've been allowed to self destruct like this, the missed opportunities after we won the league to cement ourselves as a PL side is borderline criminal.  I genuinely, truly do not understand any supporter of our club who is the slightest bit nonchalant about what has happened to us. Yoyo club we may traditionally be, but not down to the 3rd tier with no stop to the slide downwards in sight. Are these same people going to be clapping our players off the pitch when we're relegated again next season? Because I can't see how that isn't a possibility, or how they can be the least bit ok with it, it's just baffling to me.

 

I'm not ashamed, but I am bitterly disappointed in what we have become, and I hate Top and those around him for allowing it to happen. It makes me angry that they've made me, and all the rest of us, feel like this.
