lcfcking Posted 2 June 2005 Posted 2 June 2005 Does anybody know why the Leicester City home shirt is on a one-year-cycle whereas the away shirt is on a two-year-cycle? http://www.jjb.co.uk/spotlight/lcfc_away/index.php
Who ate all the pies? Posted 2 June 2005 Posted 2 June 2005 now that is cynical...maybe true, but very cynical!
dynamite foxes Posted 2 June 2005 Posted 2 June 2005 no it was Mace's idea to do two for the away due to all the stick he got. Incidetally he is still at the club as CEO doing two days a week rather than full time as he was asked to stay on.

Incidetally he is still at the club as CEO doing two days a week rather than full time as he was asked to stay on. 118668[/snapback] No it wasn't. The Trust lobbied Tim Davies hard on the away kit being a 2 year cycle including an unpublished Mercury article which caused a 3 way 'discussion' between the paper, the club & the Trust. Mace gets no credit at all !
dynamite foxes Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 well seeing as Davies doesn't deal with the kits, you are wrong. I spoke to Mace long before the away kit was released and he said he would put it on a 2 year cycle so he could keep some of the fans happy. Foxes Trust are pathetic, first you don't raise a lot of money then spend half the time trying to influence the club. When you own the club then you can influence but your pathetic attempt to raise funds, (you were out done by about 25 individuals when clubs such as Norwich raised 500,00). So Laterzzzzzzzzzz!!
dynamite foxes Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 Mace gets a lot of credit: The way he dealed with La Manga was excellent, he has produced 4 excellent shirts as he has the final say on the kits, albeit one horrid one but oh well, he got Barcelona and Celtic here on friendlies, he was nothing whatsoever to do with the rubbish concert, that was tim davies. he has increased the use of leicester in the community and is nothing to do with the website, that is Jon Sanders and NTL. So a lot of what you have against him is not his fault. Cheers Foxes Trust
dynamite foxes Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 no just a bloke who has a clue and can talk about rather than a brainless idiot who doesnt have a clue and just mouths off
Sparky Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 , look macey u dont fool us , any chance of another pepsi max challenge ?
Jonbluefox9 Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 Just been to get the new home shirt and as I was looking around, some of the goalkeeper jerseys were falling to bits already. Some of the little felt letters on the badge had fallen off. So much for this 3-D badge.
bluearmy Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 Am I the only one that thinks the new away shirt is horrible?
Hullfox Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 Steady on there Dynamite, you'll get the natives restless. People on here think that Mace was a complete tosser before he got the job, during it and after too. Everything that went wrong or not to plan was his fault you see. Your viewpoint won't be welcomed by the many business gurus that frequent this forum and know better about all matters concerning the club.
Scow Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 , look macey u dont fool us , any chance of another pepsi max challenge ? 118933[/snapback] How about a 121 year anniversary? It's a symmetrical number, I'm sure it'll catch on.
Foxes_Trust Posted 3 June 2005 Posted 3 June 2005 Mace gets a lot of credit:The way he dealed with La Manga was excellent, he has produced 4 excellent shirts as he has the final say on the kits, albeit one horrid one but oh well, he got Barcelona and Celtic here on friendlies, he was nothing whatsoever to do with the rubbish concert, that was tim davies. he has increased the use of leicester in the community and is nothing to do with the website, that is Jon Sanders and NTL. So a lot of what you have against him is not his fault. Cheers Foxes Trust 118816[/snapback] We agree that Mace handled the La Manga saga very well & have publically praised him for that. Shirts- some like 'em some don't. The last home shirt seemed well received, but Mace decided to bypass the Fans Forum over the Fosse Gold Kit, breaking the clubs own Fans Charter and should also have ran the 120th concept by the Forum as well. Barcelona - we know the exact details about how that came about & it was via a TD contact (we won't go into further details) One of the main problems with the concert was the PR which seemed to focus on their media partners, then Leicester Sound & finally Century before it was canned. We had already questioned the club about the PR & felt it wasn't promoting it well at all - and who was responsible for PR at the club then? Community wise - no wouldn't agree either, that has already made some significant steps forward over the last week. We discovered in our early days that the way certain radio stations were treated has not helped target a wider community either. Website is Comms - Comms was a Mace remit area (surely you recognise the tell tale spin). The long term contract with Premium TV (& hence the problems still faced today with the website) was signed way before the club was put into administration, so certainly had no TD involvement, would have to check dates, but don't think it was when Mace was here previously either

So Laterzzzzzzzzzz!! 118815[/snapback] Should have consulted the fans about having a one year home kit via the Fans Forum, so once again broke the Fans Charter, but thanks for confirming Mace was at fault for this to everybody! Now lets examine this in more detail. Until the recent change all the existing Directors bar one owned shares in the club & had put their money where there mouths were except one, Mace. The rest of the board were all around to help save the club. Once saved Mace was appointed, so took no part in the rescue. Meanwhile fans clubbed together and raised £100k to save the club, put a further £30k in soon after & then watched in horror a year later as a similar amount was poured down rhe drain on the Pepsi Max debacle. With the further £20k investment recently announced, we will be the 13th largest shareholder, a few well known investors in the club have put less money in than the Trust. The many reason for the Trust is to influence the club over decisions affecting fans you obviously don't understand Trusts.

dynamite foxes Posted 4 June 2005 Posted 4 June 2005 we made money from the pepsi max, from sponsorship. The reason why mace didn't put money in was because he is not a fan and was asked to join the club by Jon Holmes, he was no part of the consortium.
dynamite foxes Posted 4 June 2005 Posted 4 June 2005 YES AND ALSO what impact would you say you have had on the club, as far as I can see there has been no dramatic change since you have been around.

However a couple of stories appeared during the last year & comments were made in a public forum once which implied he helped save the club, which as you clearly state above he didn't, by contrast the Trust played a vital part There was sponsorship money yes, but the pepsi still made a loss & was massively out against the budget. As a shareholder we do get a monthly financial statement & the impact of the Pepsi budget shortfall was discussed at a shareholders meeting. As a responsible shareholder we won't reveal the actual details, but it was a shocking hole in last years plans.
Foxes_Trust Posted 4 June 2005 Posted 4 June 2005 YES AND ALSO what impact would you say you have had on the club, as far as I can see there has been no dramatic change since you have been around. 119154[/snapback] What dramatic change would you have liked to see then? We always understood that the Trust has a long term role in influencing the club in a variety of areas, some have had more success than others There has been far more fan consultation following building key relationships with the club, such as opinions sought on the managers appointment. We helped the club develop the fans survey which went out last summer. We were consulted on Season Ticket prices, we generated our recommended match grading guide. We have recently been consulted about who to play in the home pre-season friendlies. Overall much more information is made available to the fan base, either by ourselves or through our influence the club directly since we became involved. The main obsticles to progress have always come back to areas which were under Macey's control & hence why we feel things will step up a pace from now on & those at the club who are stuck in a timewarp of not understanding the concept of good customer service better wake up & smell the coffee quickly.
