Changing Allegiance

[FilboFox]

PAH! Change allegiance!?! You're out of your mind!

I am Leicester through and through come thick or thin and will be supporting them for the rest of my life! No matter whether we fall to the Conference North/South divisions, God forbid, or turn into a Champions League winning team, I'll be there making sure that they have my support and loyalty!

COME ON LEICESTER!!! I BELIEVE!!!

[Raj]

For so long I have been on here arguing with people to Give Ollie time, get behind the club and Milan and support Leicester City through thick and thin, after last nights game I am actually beginning to lose interest let alone patience with my home town club.

Support through thick and thin I have, Shipman, Pleat, Little, Mcghee, O'Neill, Pierpoint, Taylor, Bassett, Adams, Levein, Kelly, Wortho, Allen, Megson and now Ollie. Promotions, Relegations, last minute winners at Wembley, Collymore Hat trick against Sunderland with O'Neill claiming us good enough to challenge for Champions League only for Heskey to be sold the following week, a new Stadium build with hype yet lacks the atmosphere of the old Filbert Street barn, Administration, La Manga, Wise, Name Changing possability back to Leicester Fosse. We have witnessed more ups and downs in the last 10 years than the majority of Football fans witness in a lifetime.

We have seen the good, Lennon, Walsh, Elliott, Izzett, Ferdinand, Fulop to name a few

We have also seen the bad, Junior Lewis, Kalac, Pressman, Akinbiyi (This list could go on for page after page!!)

We have also seen the ugly, Keown.

And what do we get for our years of torment and suffering? A kop that is so obviously placed at the wrong end of the ground, Pies that can only be described as loop warm at the best of times, Flat & expensive beer, Raising Ticket prices, Inconsistent & under performing players earning more in a week than most fans can earn in a year. Our Club wants to fill the stadium, not for the atmosphere & not to give our players an advantage on the pitch (that would seem a tad trivial at times I might add!) but to line their own pockets.

Milan came in with so much hype. But we are no where near where we should be let alone want to be. Pre season talk of Play offs and promotion to the Premier League and yet here we are at the final stretch of the season within 4 points of the bottom 3 and Relegation to League 1.

The team go from one extreme to the other, Beating Norwich 4-0 then losing to Coventry 0-2, we beat Cardiff at their place 1-0 only to lose to Preston on our own turf. I have watched children's Sunday league teams with more confidence, passion and consistency. Some times its easy to put a loss down to bad luck or dodgy refereeing decisions but in honesty we have played 36 League games and the simple truth is, we have not been anywhere near good enough.

I, like so many have given the best years of my life supporting this Football club yet it appears that the people involved with the Club are not prepared to lay their lives down as we have. I am getting to the point where I do not want to follow a team that does not share the belief and passion that I do, afterall why should I or you waste hard earned money and time to follow a club that doesn't listen to its fans and a team that do not perform to their potential or show the same commitment on the pitch as the droves of fans in the stands.

Looking at AFC Wimbledon and what they have achieved since claiming their Club back, the passion is there, the will is there, the commitment and dedication is there. It ponders the question, is it time to change allegiance?

I aint in the mood to read much but if you are talking about supporting someone else,dont be so fcuking pathetic.

WE have no god damn right to win anything let alone games.

There are bigger clubs than us in worse situations.

We are shit and have been for 4 odd years.

BUT fans up and down the country watch clubs like Hartlepool or Wrexham(examples) with no hope of winning anything EVER.

If you are fcuked off with it,fine,its understandable,take a year out,recharge the batteries and come back.

BUT you can NEVER EVER support another club.

EVER.

Don't talk such piffle!

Thats all too serious for me Raji (but true) did you enjoy it last night? luckily I was Ill!

Good job you were ill(Not TOO ill hopefully!)

It was VERY frustrating!

[Joe.]

I've probably not supported Leicester for anywhere near as long as you but I'd never even consider changing allegiances. Unfortunately for me I started properly supporting Leicester from around 1999 onwards so have therefore predominantly only seen the decline (bar one promotion).

Even still, I could never stop supporting this team and I don't think I'll ever even consider not doing so.

[BigGibbo]

Hahaa I was listenin on the radio & had to laugh or I would of cried fookin nightmare innit?

Im not too bad now think I've seen the worse part through.

[Zingari]

theres a word for people that swap allegiances

unfortunately i can't remember what it is

[Guest shearfox]

All Leicester have done for the past few years is bring me down but I can never stop supporting my team, its just one of those things. You just can't change even if they were relegated this season the next and next I wouldn't stop supporting.

[Staf]

Although we are horrific i could never stop supporting leicester even if we went down to league 1 i know it is hard at the minute and it has been for the last few years but ah well who else are you going to support hinckley ?

[Bellend Sebastian]

I wouldn't change allegiances but I'd consider not going to football anymore because I find it about a tenth as much fun as I did. That's not just because City aren't doing very well, although obviously that doesn't help.

That said, I'd switch my allegiance to Dukla Hillside at the drop of a hat, if they didn't play on Sunday mornings, when my girlfriend makes me do stuff like visit her

[Tevez]

AFC Leicester anyone?

[BigGibbo]

Turncoat?

C@nt?

[MPH]

I agree with your sentiments but i think you have missed one important point...

The fans were here long before any of these people you mentioned and they will be here long after they have gone too.

It is the fans that make a club special, no one else. yes the results have been so annoyingly bad the last few years but they wont stay that way for ever., yes they were damn good for a few years before that and they will be good again.

Leicester City are in my blood. Last night hurt like Hell and i expect a few more days like it still.

Yet i come back for more because Im part of Leicester City and Leicester city is part of me!

[lildave3]

C@nt?

I second this notion.

[FleckneyFox]

We should make an AFC Leicester

(Mind starts to wander........) Wouldnt be a bad idea tbh

[Floating Fox]

They don't admit fans for purely non financial reasons do they? They have a good atmoshpere etc etc but at the end of the day they're out to make money just as Leicester are.

Not in the same way that we are. Rules/Law state that they can't have an 'owner' like MM or that Rich Russian. They can only have 49% of the club therefore the fans tend to own the other 51%, meaning that they choose what happens. Money isn't as much of a priority to them as they are English clubs. Obviously money is a very important part, but if they were the same as here, they'd have our daft prices as well...

Raj,

I think you should actually read what he's saying. Hes moaning more about the complete wankers that play for us, the lack of passion & commitment, the silly money etc etc

He's not moaning about the lack of sucsess.

I feel what he is saying, I couldn't care less if we don't get promoted. Theres lots of downsides to being in the prem as well. I'd rather see a team that actually seemed like they cared, even if they didn't have all the skill in the world.

We need the daft prices to pay the daft wages.

Coalville FTW

£5 to see Alvin Jarvis and Swan dog, unbeleiveable.

AFC Sileby.

The chairmans a right ****.

Exactly. They don't have crazy wages in ze motherland.

Coalville next year

[ronnup]

If i supported another club and saw this i'd be disgusted with the Leicester fan's attitude. I'm ashamed that it exists.

[lee7]

would never ever support another club no matter what happened.

[Bryn]

I've got no real affinity for any other club so I think I'd probably stop caring about football before I switched allegiances.

[Smiffy]

I wasn't really aware that you had the liberty of choosing a club. I was born and raised a Leicester fan and never even thought of jumping on any other glory bandwagons. I agree, it is possible and sometimes rejuvenating to take a little time away, try to forget about the rollercoaster that is LCFC for a while and come back to it when you feel like you miss it. If you dont miss it...well then fcuk it!
