Leicester Fans . . .

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-36160621

 

Why does stuff like this really piss me off?

 

"I didn't think about supporting my own city because we wanted to watch the bigger players and it was all about winning matches."

 

Suppose it's to be expected and I have nothing against Leicester - been the best Prem in years.

  • I really don't know why any success and the accompanying band-wagon jumpers affects Bolton supporters enough for anyone to actually wish a Man U win today. In fact at any time.

    Because this attitude has deprived BWFC of thousands of fans and millions of pounds, perfectly understandable in my view.

And when they get relegated they will suddenly become Liverpool and Chelsea fans again. Wankers

Aye, it's the complete lack of irony in the article that gets me, as if what their doing is something to be proud of!

 Living 15 miles away it's been interesting to note that most genuine fans have been quite quiet about it. Even earwigging conversations in queues it's been clear they were taking nowt for granted - until the last week or two anyway.

I pity me poor owd neighbour who had a ST for decades then him and his missus fucked off to a retirement pad other end of the country and rented their gaff out. Little did he know it was a bad time to miss their games!

Mind you, BBC's East Midlands Today didn't let me down - as I predicted they would, they recently ran a thing putting it all down to Richard III.

Had to stop reading that after the first few paragraphs. What a prick.

 

Used to work with a bloke who supported both Leicester and Arsenal. Can't get my head around people like that.

Lee pickering sounds like a legend.

So

 

To be clear

 

We are unanimous that supporting 2 professional teams means you're a bit of a wanker?

Went to the midweek game we lost 3-2 there under freedman

 

Despite the fact they were winning there was no atmosphere whatsoever

 

Now pundits are falling over themselves to say what brilliant fans they are because they make a bit of noise with those clapper things they hand out

Who's the bigger wanker one who supports 2 teams or one who switches to a team just because they're successful?

Yes but with special compensation for Bury and Utd fans ;) #halfandhalf

Ronnies lad.

I thought I was reading the daily mash at first when talking about Ash Patel

 

Then there was the story about a fan who missed out on 100 grand as he 'forgot' to put his usual bet on them winning the league at the start of the season

 

Fuck off. You could have done it a week later if you're that precious about it and the odds wouldn't have changed

Ash Patel is 40 and was a life long Liverpool fan but switched to Leicester when they got promoted to the PL

 

Ok

 

But they've been promoted to the PL 3 times

 

They should show that article to the members who've been going all their lives buy can't get tickets

"Nicola Butler took her dad Mike, who usually supports Liverpool and Coventry City, to the game against Swansea and says she has become hooked"

 

You'd be fucking fuming if you were one of the members who missed out on tickets. Though stories like the above may suggest they weren't quite as difficult to come by as had been previously speculated.

Thats like trying to choose between a nonce and a terrorist

Fuck me it's the anti Christ :D

It's same with a Palace been there when it's been a morgue. All clubs have good atmosphere when things going well.

Arseholes one and all.

 

Still the proper fans will feel it way more than these muppets.

It happens more than most fans are willing to admit. Our crowds suffered when Wigan got to the Prem, there are loads of 'transient' fans at clubs everywhere. The idea that we are all hardcore is a myth, we have lost more than 10,000 fans in 5 years, they aren't all listening to GMR or shopping, many will be watching other teams.

 

Cunts to a mon.
