In fairness, the match report did say: The views expressed in this report are the opinions of the Trust member nominated to file the report only and do not represent the views of the Foxes Trust organisation They're not speaking for the organisation, any more than any of us here are speaking on behalf of anyone. <<< Edited to say: I did a match report for the Foxes Trust many years ago. And it really was just my bizarre rantings about the match, and the fun I'd had getting to the match. I seriously wasn't representing the views of the Foxes Trust! >>>

Pretty good player, mind.

There was an article recently by Graeme Souness, saying what happened when he signed for Liverpool. (Who were England's top team at the time). On his first day at Anfield, he asked the manager/coach how they wanted him to play. He was abruptly told "we didn't pay good money to tell you how to ****ing play football. Work it out for yourself". The good old days, eh.

Sometimes, you just have to laugh. We've had managers at this club who have inherited good teams and got us relegated. We've had managers who jump ship, just when you think things are starting to head in the right direction. And we've had managers who pretty obviously didn't want to be here, from day one. Fair play that they got plenty of stick, and even a bit of vitriol. And here we have some bloke being slaughtered because in our first 4 Premier League games we've gone 1-1, 1-2, 1-2, 2-2, against teams that finished last season 5th, 13th, 4th and 10th respectively. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Mr Cooper is some re-incarnated Welsh Martin O'Neil. But come on ....................................

His first name is Steve, and his 2nd name is Cooper. <Edited to say: And he's not sexy and Italian, and lots of other irrelevant things.>

I don't he was specifically calling you a moron. He/she/they just said there are some morons on here. And as we know, foxestalkisfullofidiots.

I reckon with Maresca in charge, the atmosphere would've been worse. We'd have been playing the ball out from the back every time, every match ... suicide with the quality we currently have, against Premier Lg oppo ... and would already have lost every match 4-0 !

A couple of reasons, I suspect. As you say, Palace and Southampton are "less glamorous" grounds, and most of us have probably been there before. Last season, most of the grounds gave smaller away allocations than in the Premier League (with a few exceptions). And for many people there were more "new grounds" to do in the 2nd Division, as we hadn't been there for 10 years. fyi, these were the away allocations last season for the 23 league matches: HUDDERSFIELD T (A) <2336 tickets> ROTHERHAM U (A) <2205 tickets> SOUTHAMPTON (A) <2825 tickets> NORWICH C (A) <2022 tickets> BLACKBURN R (A) <3269 tickets> SWANSEA C (A) <1971 tickets> QPR (A) <2766 tickets> MIDDLESBROUGH (A ) <2563 tickets> SHEFF WED (A) <3813 tickets> WEST BROM A (A) <2009 tickets> BIRMINGHAM C (A) <2678 tickets> IPSWICH T (A) <2004 tickets> CARDIFF C (A) <3213 tickets> COVENTRY C (A) <4500 tickets> STOKE C (A) <2604 tickets> WATFORD (A) <2102 tickets> LEEDS U (A) <2916 tickets> SUNDERLAND (A) <2000 tickets> HULL C (A) <2330 tickets> BRISTOL CITY (A) <3414 tickets> MILLWALL (A) <2022 tickets> PLYMOUTH A (A) <1739 tickets> PRESTON NE (A) <5676 tickets>

Loads left in all 5 blocks 22 to 26, only a few left in blocks 27 and 28. Too many to count, but I'd say at least 1000 still left.

Yeah ... and it would be, if our club ever deigned to put in safe standing ... like nearly every other proper club.

The following amuses me slightly ... At home games: I stand up before the game, sit down during the 1st half, stand up during half time, sit down during the 2nd half. At away games: I sit down before the game, stand up during the 1st half, sit down during half time, stand up during the 2nd half.

Only about 50 more sold since Friday night ... so just under 1400 left.

Just over 1400 tickets showing as left at the moment.

Poor old Whitehaven are in a right financial mess at the moment. Wakefield Trinity are selling £10 match tickets for this Sunday's game v Whitehaven, and giving the money to their visitors. A nice gesture. Alternatively, if you fancy slinging them a few spare £'s, there's a Go Fund Me page listed on https://whitehavenrl.co.uk/ https://gofund.me/03c07c8d

Foxestalkisfullofidiots is still the best userid i've seen.
