Genuinely can’t (can) believe just how badly they’ve handled this

I can. It is a club used to winging it and hoping for the best. 

 

People are just seeing through it now.

Same. It’s like it happened to a different club. I’m so totally detached from it all now. 

[RGFox]

Apologies if already posted but just seen this on FB 

 

Leicester City have only sold 3,000 tickets for their 10 year Premier League legends day anniversary. The fans could not be more disconnected from everything that has happened at the club.

[Wymsey]

A bit surprised that Ranieri hasn't been mentioned anywhere with the 10-year anniversary.

The fixture will see a Leicester City Legends side, managed by our title-winning manager Claudio Ranieri, take on an All Star XI, as we mark 10 years since the historic 2015/16 Premier League title triumph.

My bad, thanks.

I’ve heard that 

Troy deeney is captain of the opposition 

no idea what he’s got to do with 2016 but there you go 

sums up everything about the match & the thought process of putting it together

At this rate they’ll be making a loss which they can’t afford to do. 

They are specialists at this John and Top

It's like they're still living in 2016 and think we won the league 5 minutes ago and are still a force and interest to be reckoned with.

 

When they've spent their time owning the club stripping away everything that was LCFC and replacing it with everything KPFC at the same time sticking two fingers up to the match day going fan. All this whilst currying favour with the Leicester Charities to give themselves an acceptable face to the rest of Leicester's none football fans, the nationwide media and Thailand.

They've heard the fans talk about Deeney Day and think it's something we're proud of when I suspect they know every little about Leicester City pre-KP apart from Est. 1884 which they proudly stick next to the King Power name on the stadium banner.

It’s an anniversary match to celebrate 2016 …….

[FLAN]

Tinpot for a 10th anniversary. How apt

This event is a complete shambles, I feel sorry for the fans brain dead fans paying £25 to watch Benalouane and Hamer

eh, opposition made up of players who played against us that season makes sense. 

 

very funny that they're refusing to announce the squads though, genuinely feels like they're trying to trick people again, who might think that the 15/16 squad will be there when Mahrez, Kanté, Vardy and Schmeichel definitely won't be

Scenes when they roll out Harry Winks as a player for the 2016 Prem XI and he puts in a world class performance, before proceeding to cup his ears to the 4,000 home crowd following a late winner.

Probably because they've had more turn this down than the managers job when Ranieri ended up with it. Don't forget King Power masterminded it all though...

[Wsl]

I'm clearly missing something - but why on earth are they taking off blocks of seats from general sale? The only thing I can think of, and I wondered whether it would come to this when the Athena evening was cancelled, was that they intend to paper it. I know sometimes blocks are released bit by bit to build up sales, but it looks like these were available to begin with. So they're either trying a block by block, or they're going to give away huge numbers of seats, bit like the ECB did with the first year of the Hundred, to drum up attendance.

I'll love that team forever but I'm bored of it now. Something to be proud of in our history but I'm just so bored of it now being brought up all the time.

 

Move on, ditch the montage etc, start again without every one harping on about it and giving the owners a free ride because of what happened years ago. Fresh start.

[rugbyblue]

This wont go ahead, surely, looking at the ticket sales.  Id pull it

It goes through the club. Announce we have an anniversary match- key players are missing but people will still turn up in droves just because. Don't need general sale because enough will always attend. Give every manager a three year contract because surely one will be worth it? Chuck a load of money at the players and enough might prove good enough to get us by.

 

Then the fans question its value. People aren't queuing up. Managers aren't good enough. The players can't be bothered/ aren't up to it. Then it starts to dawn on them.

Still don’t think it’s dawned on them they’re still admiring the 2016 sunset.
