Lcfcman2010 Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 By not attending? Arab youve got to turn up. not attending the reading game(if this is what your going to do) isn't going to help any bit whatsoever. Come to the game, sit down but make sure your on form and loud as ever. Only way this will work IMO. Good luck, you have my backing!
Basingstoke Fox Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 Just got off the phone with someone who is in contact with us and the club, apparently the emails have been pissing the club off no end, and they asked me to tell you not to continue emailing as that email is just for official complaints. They also referred to you all as kids. They said they are going to get a seperate email address for people to email their support too, so it will be easier for them to ignore i guess. By not taking these emails as serious complaints and asuming you are all children it feels like the club are just trying to ignore what is right infront of them. Jobber has also been on the phone after a mercury reporter phoned him up, they asked him if he was in favour of the Fosse Boys and he told the reporter he was backing us etc etc but then the reporter asked him where abouts he sits in the ground... so i'm guessing he doesnt know that much about fans down Filber Way so some other random stuff might get printed. It's up to the Club now, lets see what they are gunna say Wankers. SURELY they must realise this is absolutely ridiculous? I haven't had a chance to send an e-mail yet as I've been at work all day and have been reading through this thread. It is brilliant to see that so many people feel as strongly about this as they do, I don't think I've seen a thread where pretty much EVERYONE agrees with eachother. I guess it shows just how much of a joke this whole thing is. Glad to know that the club have been getting pissed off with the e-mails though. Shall I send an e-mail now? Or just wait until they sort out this seperate e-mail address?

They also referred to you all as kids. Do the club not realise that these are emails of complaint! If I had anything to do with this I would suggest that all emails are directed to the EXISTING email address and everyone should resend their original email and include their AGE - i.e. Peter 46

It's up to the Club now, lets see what they are gunna say Cheeky bastards, I'm probably older than a lot who work there. I seriously feel like sending my ST back, not just about this, they've taken the piss out of the fans for too long. We are attending, most of us are season ticket holders we just wont have our group banner and we wont be sitting at the back of SK1 I think you're missing a trick here Liam, you're letting them win. My Uncle is over from Australia and i'm taking him to the game on Saturday, he'd love to hear you lot sing and create an atmosphere, as would everyone (bar the phantom 22).
stripeyfox Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 Just so i can try to understand this, how did the club issue this ultimatum and who to? Any chance of posting the wording?
LCFC-ARAB Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 But isnt sitting down giving in as well?? My personal view on sitting is that i cant stand it( unintentional pun) the most i have sat down at a game over the last 3 or so years was the 2nd half at sunerland home this season, and i am a priority 1 season ticket holder so i get to plenty of away games aswell it seriosuly ruins the entire day having to sit down and i would honestly rather stay in the pub and watch it on tv than sit and sing that will sounds stupid to a lot of you, but i am sure a lot of the fosse boys will agree with me (well i hope they do!)

It's up to the Club now, lets see what they are gunna say So we can email to complain about the FB but not in support?... Wankers, not surprising though. All the best with it, I think what you guys have done is great gotta say I agree with the comments here of going to your usual place and sitting and singing though personally, although it's up to you and a tough one.
AndyBrew Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 Sent an email several days ago and got a generic reply, the club really don't give a flying fook about the fans I'm seriously considering not going any more it costs me £100 for each game and I am losing interest fast!

sbfox Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 By not attending the Reading game as 'the Fosse Boys', you're essentially conceding defeat - already. I mean think about it, what kind of message is it sending out? 22 tools make a bit of a fuss and you give up?! C'mon, you must realise that looks ridiculous. I have to say, for the sake of balance, I'd really like to see what the club is actually saying about you and how they are doing it. So far, we have hearsay from ARAB and other leading members, but it IS just hearsay. I'm not saying any of you are lying, far from it, but a lot of what the club are saying may well be being lost in translation. Are they threatening you with ejection for persistent standing (likely) or the persistent singing (very unlikely)? I'm not being a **** for the sake of it, but I'd just like to get to the bottom of things in a non-hysterical, reasoned way. Any help?
stripeyfox Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 I'm glad my email pissed them off. It's about time they realised that not everyone thinks everything the club do is fooking brilliant. This is the worst PR for the club since the time Birch encouraged ST holders to turn up at the Walkers during the summer with rakes and hoes to tidy the car park up as this would enable the season ticket holder to "give something back to the club".
Stand UP... Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 Trying to get some on air voices on this, we need to make this as difficult for the club as possible and media is the only way i believe. Responce from I.Stringer:- Hi there Michael, Interesting to hear about your current plight. I can speak with the news team and see what they think, they may wish to contact The Fosse Boys and the club to air the story. What comes after that is down to public support. Unfortunately I'm not allowed, being a BBC staff member, to air my views on such matters which is difficult at times. My advice, for what its worth is to press your story as hard as you can in as many different media outlets as you can, there's a few to choose from. I'll speak with the news team and let you know asap. Regards, Ian

It's not whether you're standing or sitting - it's about the people. Take ballons, confetti, scarves, beachballs, blow up crocodiles and sing for 90 minutes straight. Do that every game until the 22 fook off and over time the stewards get used to you and let you stand
Callabinho Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 I'm lost for words, well I'm not going to sit there in silence for the benefit of a few mardy mers! some of our "fans" are ****ing sh*t! we should just be noisy as fook all game,
Lillehamring Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 We are attending, most of us are season ticket holders we just wont have our group banner and we wont be sitting at the back of SK1 LA, you really have to go ahead and sing like you've never sung before - look at all the support on here, even houdini logic is playing nicely I genuinely believe that a lot of kopites are going to find out about this and come and join in. fosse boys have to use this to their advantage, the club has shot themselves in the foot with this one, rather than shutting you up, this has actually pissed A LOT of people off, people who will be in the kop on saturday - i'm not saying everyone will come stand with you, but if you get your songs going it's pretty clear a lot of kopites will be joining in. now is the time, rally your boys, and show the club what this means to us - DO IT...
Guest Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 so, we need to find someone else to email - anyone got any contacts at one of the red tops, the Sun would go nuts for a story like this.... A mate of mine knows a guy who does some freelance sport pieces for the nationals, I'll see if I can get on to him and see what the reponse is

ozleicester Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 From the LCFC website... Fanzone Posted on: Mon 17 May 2010 If you have any feedback, a complaint or a question/query, please get in touch with Leicester City in one of the ways listed below. All feedback will be noted and monitored, however please be aware that we must receive details of a complaint in writing (online form, email or letter) for us to be able to respond. Please make sure you read all the information below before writing in. 1. Fill in the feedback form below 2. Send an email to [email protected] So they request we contact them this way... then complain when we do... very poor by the club, as for the "kids" comments...just shameful. Does anyone have the contact emails for the club management/directors? Perhaps we should approach them directly.
sbfox Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 Again, just want to say that before we get national media etc involved, we might want to make sure the Fosse Boys are being threatened with ejection for mere singing (which is totally unacceptable), rather than standing (which though jarring, is well within the rights of LCFC). We wouldn't want to make our club look even more stupid in the national presses unless there was good reason...
stripeyfox Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 If I could be there on Saturday I would do but I implore the Fosse Boys, and everybody else sat around them (apart from the 22) to sing (even if sitting down) for the whole match. Rip up a thousand Mercurys for confetti (like the old days), get all the baloons and other parephenalia you can get your hands on and make as much of a racket as you possibly can. This could be the making of the Fosse Boys, you can see how much support you've actually got even from the sceptics. Use it. Channel it. THEY CANNOT DESTROY YOU!

We wouldn't want to make our club look even more stupid in the national presses unless there was good reason... This is an important point, hence the reason I asked for the detail of the ultimatum issued.
macfox Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 Kin unbelievable. Who was responsible for telling you that "As a result we have been issued with an ultimatum, to either move or face ejections/bans."
Trav Le Bleu Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 So they not taking emails seriously? Does anyone know the phone number we can use to complain on? Maybe EVERYONE stands and sing in SK1? Fill that part of the ground! (Sadly it's my sis-in-laws anniversary party the same day, well miffed) Protest outside the ground where they can see it's not just kids? Maybe the Lord Mayor is just a kid? (Maybe he just likes frightning them? ) You know what would really p*** them off? Letters. Nothing like a sackful of mail to spoil an office's day.
Houdini Logic Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 LA, you really have to go ahead and sing like you've never sung before - look at all the support on here, even houdini logic is playing nicely It's not dissimilar to my views on Palestine I may not 100% agree with their religion, but there's no way we should allow people to shit all over them
Lcfcman2010 Posted 26 August 2010 Posted 26 August 2010 so, we need to find someone else to email - anyone got any contacts at one of the red tops, the Sun would go nuts for a story like this.... sports desk sun. [email protected] daily mirror. [email protected] or online editorial of sport/football is [email protected]
