It's the youngsters I feel for.....

There is nowhere worse for plastic fans than Bedford This morning I took abuse from a Liverpool fan who didn't even know their score from last night.

Leicester should be tapping into places like Bedford for extra support

about half way between Leicester and London we should have far more than we do down here.

i know, like Milton Keynes, its a bit of a cockney overspill but there are many that should have picked City as their team if the club would have pushed the boat out and showed some ambition a few years back.

even the old City fans down here have let their children become spinless fans of the big 4

but there are many IN Leicester that have done likewise

Tossers!

ps a couple of Liverpool fans i know , born and bred in Bedford with no connection to Mersyside went to a game at Anfield a few years back and one of them sang Gerraaaard, Gerrard Oullier! (to the tune of Go West) in a scouse accent!!!

wot a W*NKER!!!

the other mate confessed this one night in town after a few beers

I believe many of the current fans were spoilt (Myself included) obviously there are the older fans have been there pre-MON but i'd say a big percentage started supporting Leicester under MON, I started just before MON but really only remember from the MON era. We we're spoilt with him at the helm, ever since people have been expecting it to happen again, it's not and I struggle to see it happening again!

I have been saying all day and 1 other fan who I spoke to has agreed and I seem to say it every year but still seem to do the opposite and not go through with it, but I have serious got to consider renewing my ST next season, Another thing is i'm almost ready, almost on the verge of turning my back on City, I'm trying to ride the storm till January, We'll see what Ollie can do then, hopefully he'll get rid of the deadwood we have, and give us something to cheer about, I don't expect Ollie to make a dramatic change in January but he has to make some improvement, and he has to show something as to how he will improve and build his own team here, then in the summer hopefully it will be a big summer (Alot of people said that last year aswell), and last summer was a big summer, many people had that optomism back, the excitement, the "I can't sleep" feeling before the first game of the season, it was all false hope - again. I just hope it's not the same again.

I'm trying to ride the storm through to January, hopefully i'll have some optomism back after that, if I see some improvement (Just a little ray of hope and excitement back) i'll be fairly happy, hopefully then there will be a big decent summer and we'll be able to build on that again - Not just another summer of false hope.

But i've seem to have been saying exactly the same things going on 3 or 4 years now.

i'm 11 i hav been watchin for 5 years and i have had 1 good season so if i was u don't come to LEICESTER!

[DB11]

I like going and I have only ever seen us struggling too First time I was properly into it was when I got a ST as a present for the last Premiership Season

I have been watching Leicester since I was 4 years old, over 40 years and with the exception of a few bright years such as under Jimmy Bloomfield, the general levels of hope and then disappointment are really the norm until MON.

I am the first to agree that the last few years have been bloody dreadful but maybe it's easier for us old timers to take the ups and the downs...we've been through it all before. One thing remains the same through the whole time and that is, as a genuine blue blood in the veins City fan you support the club and sit it out until things improve. That's the only thing I can do as I can NEVER support any other team.

The good times will come back, can't say when but when they do we'll all feel so much more for the experience of watching the bullcrap we have had to endure for the last 3-4 years.

Anyway back to the home for the terminally bewildered as I need my medication.

Football for kids shouldn't just be about winning on matchday. If it was, most D1, D2 and Non League clubs would hardly have any supporters.

And clearly for the kids who support Leicester it isn't just about winning on matchday, given that we've only achieved that about 8 or 9 times in 2007.

My cousin's kids, who are about 7 and 10 at a guess, have season tickets and have done for about the last 3 or 4 years but apparently they can't be bothered to go anymore. It doesn't help that their Dad doesn't really support Leicester either so when the football's rubbish I can imagine him telling them it is rather than trying to make out that it's not so bad, like I would try and do if I was sat with them.

Trouble is the first team attitude seems to be spreading through the club.

Our reserves have been pretty woeful generally this season and this evening I even watched the Under 18's try to shut up shop and hang on to 1-0 against Blackburn.

Don't mistake me. A win against a Premiership club's Academy is commendable, especially for what I think is a much more ordinary team than we've had recently.

But there were 300/400 fans there tonight, many of them young.

It was one of the very few games we will play on the big stage away from Belvoir Drive this season and did we try to excite those fans or try to win them into football or life? Not at all.

We scored our goal and second half turned to purely functional football even to the point of running the ball aimlessly into the corners.

If I ever dreamed of getting kids to do that I'd pack up football. In fact I wouldn't have the first team do it either.

What a wonderful advert. I bet the fans were thrilled. Reminded me of that pre-season match against Real Sociedad. A PR opportunity wasted.

The 3 kids who sit behind my dad and I are constantly bored, they sit there eating crisps and playing Nintendo DS for 85 minutes of the game, and the other 5 asking their dad if Kisnorbo is playing repetitively

What does there dad say?

"hes on the pitch but hes certainly not playing" ?

Try 3 mate. Yes we have only won 3 games at home in 2007.
