    Match Thread Leicester v Burnley

    This is ****ing shit, isn’t it? I don’t mean the game itself. I mean watching on on the telly under these circumstances. I’ve enjoyed some of the other games this weekend, as a neutral. Lots of goals, no stake in it. But watching your own club in a stadium you’re used to being in, and full. I...

    2020/21 Season

    This season isn’t going to be very good, is it? We should be good enough not to have to worry about a relegation scrap, but then we have a small squad and at last six extra games to play. Top half would be some achievement.

    They care about us as customers who bring money into the club. No more than they care about the customers who walk into their duty free outlets.

    It isn’t a community club. Clearly anything they do for the community is an exercise in reputation management. The club is a subsidiary of a multi-billion pound duty-free company whose owners only give a shit about us insofar as we are a vehicle for promoting the brand. They’re also corrupt...

    Season Tickets 2020/2021

    I watch Hinckley when City aren’t playing anyway, and because of the number of games at that level I end up watching them more anyway. I know people there and it’s time with my dad, so the novelty wearing off isn’t an issue. I’ll miss going to our games. A lot. But if I don’t take a stand...

    Season Tickets 2020/2021

    I’m still not reconciled to this. I feel as though they’re taking the piss out of me and my stance hasn’t softened; I’m not renewing on these terms. There is clearly no prospect of them waiving the £70. In which case they’ve lost a season ticket holder. It will probably hurt me more it will...

    Season Tickets 2020/2021

    Unless there aren’t any games at full capacity in which case the £70 goes towards your 21/22 season ticket. They explicitly state that they’re working on the basis of games being played in front of capacity crowds at some point, so actually what they’re doing is pretending to move a bit bit...

    All of that can be achieved without the cash grab. A staggering level of incompetence.

    https://www.lcfc.com/news/1758561/updated--202021-season-season-tickets-memberships-and-planning-for-the-return-of-supporters/press-release An update from the club, and it’s a load of old bollocks. You can now pay the £70 in two instalments, and the £70 will go towards the cost of a 21/22...

    Season Tickets 2020/2021

    Nobody is asking them to give away anything for free. A ballot is fine. You can build in some prioritisation for season ticket holders and members. Season ticket holders would ideally only pay 1/19 of their season ticket price but paying the match ticket price isn’t the end of the world. They...

    Season Tickets 2020/2021

    Even Man City, of all ****ing clubs, are letting STHs ’defer’ prioritisation for this season, and allowing them still to renew in 21/22. Manchester ****ing City are behaving in a manner morally superior to that of our club. I say ‘our’. It’s quite clearly **** all to do with us and there’s no...

    Season Tickets 2020/2021

    Yeah, I'm not giving in on this one. I've no interest in going to a 2/3rds empty ground. I've even less interest in paying £70 to keep myself in favour for when we're allowed back in properly. **** 'em. Grubby ****s. I'd much prefer it if they were honest and just told us they need the cash. I'd...

    End of Season 19/20 Review

    I don't accept that the second half of the season was only 'mildly annoying' given where we were with fourteen games remaining. I think that was just shit management. But in general I agree. There is a strong correlation between money spent on player salaries and final league position. With...

    End of Season 19/20 Review

    I doubt the money exists. King Power's bread and butter is duty free and the airline industry won't recover from covid for at least a couple of years. Even if it does exist, it would take hundreds and hundreds of millions to have us consistently challenging teams which either have limitless...
