Over the past few years I have become more and more disillusioned with LCFC and the way they conduct themselves in relation to the fans. Others have commented on the stewarding and pricing and ticketing issues which alienate many of us (lack of choice and exorbitant prices in the concourse outlets) but I am also concerned about the lack of engagement of the club with many of the supporter groups who are desperately trying to improve the match day atmosphere themselves, but encountering barriers from within the club (as expressed on this forum elsewhere). I have been watching live football for 60 years, so I do have a perspective born of experience, and I have seen clubs gradually become more remote from the match going fan and more inclined to target the corporate customer who can offer greater income through hospitality packages and high-cost events. This is short-term thinking and unlikely to encourage the younger generation to become lifelong fans whilst those who do attend are being fleeced by the club as a captive audience. The only way to counter this is by supporting the Foxes Trust and ensuring they have the determination to hold the club to account about how it treats the fans. That is why I have joined the Trust, in the hope that they can become more active in communicating on behalf of the whole fan base and improve our match day experience in the way we want it to, rather than the way that makes them the most money. Without the fans football is nothing, let’s ensure the fans are heard in the boardroom where the decisions are made.

Apparently he’s good at interview. And may not insist on playing Brendanball. And is prepared to manage in the Championship.

Hallelujah! About time too, even though it may be too late. Should have gone after the Forest FA Cup debacle last year.

Actually, they were singing “champions of Sussex, you’ll never sing that” in response to our “5000-1… champions of England” chant, showing more self-awareness than most other clubs’ fans.

First hand account of the trip and the barriers encountered from one of the 25 here, makes you proud: http://theposthorngallop.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-moscow-25.html?m=1

Werthers are only available in Moscow

Success in football isn’t just about depth and quality of the squad, it’s how that quality is deployed on the pitch, which relies on quality of coaching, management and match day tactics. We have to be thankful for BR (and his backup team) who get it right on the day more often than not. That possibly gives us an advantage over squads who may match in quality, have greater depth, but aren’t prepared / coached / managed as well.

Looking forward to the next one in the series, due out next year, but sequels rarely match up to the original.

Some days it goes for you, some days it doesn’t. “Ifs and buts”, With VAR, Maradona’s hand of God goal would have been disallowed. No point worrying about it now. It is what it is. Have to take the good with the bad. Even if it has taken out the spontaneous joy of scoring.

Just had a peek at a LFC fan forum. Amazing how incensed they are at a dodgy VAR offside decision without recognising that VAR overturned the referee’s penalty decision, changing it to a free kick in the first place! Accept ALL of VAR or none of it, not just the bits that benefit you. Remember the Evans tackle versus Chelsea? penalty decision overturned to a free kick outside the box...

By comparing this offer to the offer that is open to the English Football League teams, the EPL put a 50% (ok 49.5%) higher value on their “superior product”. Don’t tell me that English football league fans are less committed to their teams then Premier League fans are to theirs and watching their team doesn’t matter to them as much. And don’t tell me that Premier League fans have more money to spend on watching matches then their football league colleagues, you won’t get many nonpartisan fans signing up to this offer. Parity at £10 would be more reasonable, but not this.

Jon Moss would’ve given 3 yellows for diving and had Vardy off. But we all know what Moss is like.

AWB - Average White Band?

Agreed, hence my comment about playing with ten and a half men. One of those players who needs time to settle in, hopefully he will.
