What a load of dickheads they were too! Why couldn't he get a ticket in our away end as there were plenty of spare ones?

There seemed more than 1900.
I thought the end and that little closed of bit were 3000, we pretty much filled it out.

Do you think West Ham and Birmingham won their squads in a raffle?

We can hardly be blamed for the short-sightedness of those who have bent your club over for the past decade or so.

Our record signing is Mr Bellamy-I don't see how that is relevant.

That depends. Did he cost more than the £5m flop that remains our record signing eleven years later?

As my username suggests, I don't have a season ticket as I live in Brighton. If we did have a super rich benefactor, of course I'd still go-but would I act like success had been anything but bought? No. You won the Thai lottery, kudos-and that is why you won today-as I say, it's all about money.

No, it's about winning games, same as it has been since day one. What's the reason when a club with no money beats you?

BUT

Had they gone nearly a year without a away win?

It was the first game of the season.
They had just spent 15+million.
Cheaper tickets than what they charged us.

Also I reckon the 1800 excludes the fans paying on the gate, as 1700/1800 were sold by yesterday.

The embarrassing thing is that 1800 think following Cov is a good idea. Then you read about them fighting with each other and it all becomes clear.

They built them in the PL and have spent little in adding to them this year-Blues have also sold for big money to fund their additions. Of course your club isn't to blame for my club's financial state-I never said it did.
Yes, football remains technically about who scores more goals-but the best players gravitate towards the wealthiest sugar daddies. Why else do Man City sit top of the league? Your club has totally sold itself out to Thai crooks in pursuit of success, as City have with the sheikhs. Why? Because you don't have the resources yourselves to get to the level you aspire to. When we lose to a fellow skint club, it's because they were better on the day- and with a level financial playing field, I have no complaints.

Because your boys shouting homophobic abuse in Brighton town centre gives you the moral high ground? Every club has idiots attached to it, don't go tarring us all with the same brush.

[For some reason a Cov fan was sat in with the Leicester fans. Someone in the Cov end reconised him and then started the Judas chants. Poilce then removed him from the Leicester end and he came and sat up in the Cov end. Basically aload of 16-17 started pushing and trying to punch him. Then fists started being thrown from all angles. Some poor lad that was not involved got knocked out cold. /QUOTE]

The poor lad who was knocked out was well looked after by one certain copper, wouldn't leave him, just ignored the chaos around.:claping hands:

Very little to argue with there (apart from the 'crooks' bit - that's a head scratcher). But the reason Leicester won today was because we were slightly less shit than Coventry. That's all. Not because Matt Mills cost 4 million quid.

I suggest you do some background reading on King Power and how they fundraise. Otherwise, I'm happy leaving the subject at this point-if we had a level financial playing field the result would have been different. No hard feelings fella!

Maybe so. Maybe the money would have been spent better if it was at CCFC. Maybe CCFC are in the shit because they've spent money they don't have in the past. Maybe none of this matters. I don't know. Let's do it again next season

Anyway, who the fuck is LCFC 4 EVA?

There has never been a level playing field when it comes to finances.
I'd love football to be owned by people who loved the clubs and were local.

It doesn't happen anymore, we beat you, trying to belittle it by claiming we've bought the win makes you look a bit daft.

Agree Nick - in the old days if you saw some of your lads sitting in the home fans area you'd give em a cheer - now the modern day 'hard men' want to slag him off and give him a slap????

If we say the modern day 16-18 year old football fan has the brain of a garden slug, it's doing a big disservice to the slugs
