Chairman of the Bored Posted 21 January 2006 Share Posted 21 January 2006 In this solemn hour it is a consolation to recall and to dwell upon our repeated efforts for success. All have been ill-starred, but all have been faithful and sincere. This is of the highest moral value--and not only moral value, but practical value--at the present time, because the wholehearted concurrence of hundreds of loyal supporters, whose co-operation is indispensable and whose comradeship and brotherhood are indispensable, is the only foundation upon which the trial and tribulation of this football clubs' future survival at this level can be endured and surmounted. This moral conviction alone affords that ever-fresh resilience which renews the strength and energy of people in long, doubtful and dark days. Outside, the storms of possible relegation may blow and the stands may be lashed with the fury of its gales, but in our own hearts this Saturday morning there is peace. Our hands may be active, but our consciences are at rest. We must not underrate the gravity of the task which lies before us or the temerity of the ordeal, to which we shall not be found unequal. We must expect many disappointments, and many unpleasant surprises, but we may be sure that the task which we have freely accepted is one not beyond the compass and the strength of Leicester City Football Club and its loyal supporters. Many have said it was a sad day last Saturday, and that is indeed true, but at the present time there is another note which may be present, and that is a feeling of thankfulness that, now these great trials are upon our club, there is a multitude of Foxes here now ready to prove themselves not unworthy of the days of yore and not unworthy of those great players, those who have worn the shirt with pride, who laid the foundations of our club, all it stands for and shaped the greatness of Leicester City Football Club. Fellow Foxes. Cardiff and Plymouth. Cometh now our greatest test. Let us stand united behind club and team. These are dark days indeed, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel…..let us sincerely hope it is not the light of an oncoming train. Leicester til I die!
