stevethejack Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 Hope you guys can help. I write for the Swansea City matchday programme (unpaid !) about away games, how to get there, where to drink etc. I have enough information on pubs, directions and admission prices, I’d like to add a bit more to it, by asking fans of the forthcoming away game what they think is; The best thing about Leicester City FC The worse thing about Leicester City FC What is your prediction for the game against the Swans?

Ozwin Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 Hi, firstly well done on doing that job for free. Clearly a passionate footballing man. I'd love to do something like that. The best thing about Leicester City FC: There's never a dull moment with us. There's good times and there's bad times, but there's isn't ever a time when there's nothing to talk about. The worse thing about Leicester City FC: Has to be the ridiculous goal music played when we score, it's a bit embarassing really. We don't need music to tell us when to celebrate. What is your prediction for the game against the Swans? I think it'll be a tight affair, with both teams taking their time to get into the game since it's the new season. I think Leicester's home advantage will overcome the opposition though and sneak us a 1-0 win. Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? The optimist in me says we're going to be top half, maybe even playoff bound, but the realist in me says mid table obscurity. - Owen.
Daggers Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 The best thing about Leicester City FC: The monthly benefits for season ticket holders. The worst thing about Leicester City FC: Every thick cunt who thinks it's funny to sing about English bombers or not surrendering to the IRA. What is your prediction for the game against the Swans? Too early to call - transfers haven't finished, pre-season hasn't begun. Ask me in four weeks time. Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? I have no idea but I know where I hope we finish - and that is upper mid-table.
MPH Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 The best thing about Leicester City FC: Our away support. Fair play to the lads - they have followed our team threw thick and thin, good games bad games and our relegation year. You can tell alot about a club's fans when the team is going through a bad time. Anyone can follow a team when they are playing well, passing the ball around- but it takes a true fan to watch the dross we have had before NP came on the scene. They love a good bit of banter and will make you chuckle with their chants. The worst thing about Leicester City FC: Considering the answer to the previous question, its almost shameful to say the lack of respect and lack of care shown by the club to the fans. We feel unloved! Its shocking, at times. Anyone would think they believe its them that are the important ones, not the fans. ( MM is NOT who i mean by this, btw...) What is your prediction for the game against the Swans? Momentum from last season could well carry us through. 2-0. I hope. Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? Right now, at the time of writing ( 10th July) we have some concerns specifically with our attack. It depends on how this is resolved. Matty Fryatt struggled last time in the championship- admittedly he was 2 years younger and was in a poor team. Steve Howard didnt have a good season back then either, so we are hoping for and are being told we will get at least 1 or 2 strikers in. The General belief is they will be badly needed before we allow words like 'playoffs' to be mentioned. All the best for the season. Matt Harrison
Salieri Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 The best thing about Leicester City FC Never a dull moment, ALWAYS unpredictable! The worse thing about Leicester City FC Been a lack of continuity for a long time, hopefully thats about to change. What is your prediction for the game against the Swans? Bit early to predict, but i'll say 2-1 win Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? 12th

I have no idea but I know where I hope we finish - and that is upper mid-table. I'd add... The best thing about Leicester City FC:Nigel Pearson The worst thing about Leicester City FC: Milan Mandaric, the marketing team and Lee Hoos

Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? The colour blue. 25miles from snottingham. 1-0. 10th.
Guest Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 The best thing about Leicester City FC:Our away support. Fair play to the lads This is the nearest I could find to the hands on hips, foot tapping that this comment deserves.
Filberts lovechild Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 The best thing about Leicester City FC Very unpredictable with so much potential. High point obviously with Martin O'Neil at the helm, League Cup victories compared with relegation into league 1 last season, you certainly never know where you stand. I think our fans in the main are very humble compared with other teams in this division who seem to think they have a god given right to be in the Premiership. The worse thing about Leicester City FC The atmosphere in the Walkers is nothing like it was at Filbert Street. The Kop needs to be moved next to the away section to get the atmosphere back. What is your prediction for the game against the Swans? I think it will be a tough one, both teams previous champions of League One. I think we will sneak it 1-0 as i think the Swans will initially struggle without Martinez and now that Jason Scotland has followed him out the door. Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? Optimisism - 5th Realism - 11th Andy Smith
MPH Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 This is the nearest I could find to the hands on hips, foot tapping that this comment deserves. and lasses! no offence intended- apologies.
Guest Bilo Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 The best thing about Leicester City FC Our history and our support. We may not be the loudest at home, but our travelling support is always at a high level. We don't have an overinflated view of ourselves as a club like some others of a similar stature and I like to think the general level of football knowledge among our fans is higher than some other supporters. We have a great young manager in Nigel Pearson who has a knack of bringing in good and hungry players, as well as getting the best out of the players he already has. Also, we're based in a great city that's going forward as well as the club. The worst thing about Leicester City FC Home support can be a bit quiet if we aren't doing well, goal music is cringeworthy (though we aren't the only sinners) and we do have a small minority of idiots who feel it's their duty to invite away supporters into L1 during a game. You also have to live with the fear of Milan's infamously small reserves of patience interfering with the manager. What is your prediction for the game against the Swans? Leicester 2 Swansea 1 Howard and N'Guessan the scorers. Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? After threatening to reach the play-offs for the bulk of the season, we'll tail off slightly towards the end of the season and finish 10th. Rob Hall
Maybes Posted 10 July 2009 Posted 10 July 2009 The best thing about Leicester City FC: ????? The worse thing about Leicester City FC: Definitely goal music, its terrible. What is your prediction for the game against the Swans? 2-1 Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? 11th
Guest Posted 11 July 2009 Posted 11 July 2009 and lasses! no offence intended- apologies. Forgiven. Don't do it again!
Guest Posted 11 July 2009 Posted 11 July 2009 The best thing about Leicester City FC It's a roller coaster ride, and you never know what's going to happen next. The worse thing about Leicester City FC It's a roller coaster ride, and you never know what's going to happen next. What is your prediction for the game against the Swans? I want a City win, but think we'll play out a well-earned draw - 2-2 Where do you think Leicester City will finish at the end of the season? Mid-table mediocrity will suffice after the last few seasons!!
stevethejack Posted 11 July 2009 Author Posted 11 July 2009 Thanks guys, That's the most responses in the quickest time ever. I'll collate everything, and will hopefully be in our programme for next Saturday's friendly against FC Twente, as well as the previously mentioned game against UD Almeria. Best wishes for the season (after 8th August ) Steve

lou Posted 11 July 2009 Posted 11 July 2009 Am I too late? Typical of my life! Anyway my answers would have been........ Away games... the support from the lads AND lasses is tremendous and Ive made some brill friends over the years. Negative Home fans who boo and shout abuse at every opportunity. I think we will draw 1-1 the first home game never seems to go that well Would be happy with staying up after last time but hope for mid table at least Lou

flanimal Posted 11 July 2009 Posted 11 July 2009 Best thing: Fans have stuck with the club despite some dodgy seasons, also, the underdog spirit at the club. Worst thing: Chelsea Daggers, the people in charge display disregard for the fans and seem not to care. Eg, Chelsea Daggers. Score: 3-1 to Leicester - no Jason Scotland, so no goals for Swansea. Finish: 5th
ob1kanobe0 Posted 11 July 2009 Posted 11 July 2009 Would be happy with staying up after last time but hope for mid table at leastLou Theres only a handful here now that played a reasonable amount of games in the champo last time, some of them wont play much if atall and we have a better manager.
