Was just thinking about their success up the m69 . does anyone think we'll see LCFC shirts being worn on the streets of Coventry ? and would they be brave/ stupid enough to do so ?

Probably will, after all some people in the city creamed themselves over a 'top class' rugby team from London.

Undoubtedly there will be, they are the champions of England and some people change allegiances like the wind.
Brave enough? What do you think will happen to them exactly?!

Big Leicestet flag flying out of flat window in Radford
I'd expect nothing less from a Chelsea fan in the midlands (presuming that's where you are!)

A couple of lads in our office (Cov fans) did go to Leicester yesterday for the open top bus parade!

I'd imagine they'd be attacked , wouldn't they ?

Whichever way I look at it, Leicester are still a bunch of webbed footed half-breeds! I hope all their star players desert them and they sink without a trace. PUSB!

Only if the shirt was genuine - not some cheap knock off that saves a few pence.

Attacked by who?
I remember somebody on here going on about their mate that he hated SISU so bought a Leicester Season Ticket with his kids (just happened to be the year they got promoted to the Premier League as well). He was spoken about like a hero.

I'd imagine Cov fans who detest anything to do with LCFC. would be like a red rag to a bull wouldn't it ?
Re the LCFC hopper , I wouldn't see him as a hero myself . I'd put him in the same category as those that went inside sixfields.

Do you know many city fans who would kick off with somebody just for wearing a Leicester shirt?

I went to the parade yesterday with family. We live in Leicester and wife and all kids born there. Not a webbed foot in sight. Son and I are and will remain CCFC season ticket holders. I'm sure some will jump in the bandwagon. Just like in the past. This time next year there will again be more Chelsea, manure and Liverpool kits on show than Leicester or cov locally

I think one day, as annoying as it is, we're just going to have to accept that football has changed and people like us, who follow a team through anything and would never dream of supporting anyone else, are becoming rarer. Some people are not that in to football and as it's on tv all the time feel they can change their club just like they could their favourite tv show.

Let's just say , I think it would be an unwise thing to do.

Do you think it would be wise of me to now reel that in and close the window?

Only if you replace it with a Claudio mask and a tin foil premier league trophy.

My sister lives in Leicester and hates football but she said the whole city has gone football mad. But being a Cov kid she still wants the Sky Blues to win something,so I've trained her well !

In Nuneaton I always saw the odd one wearing their shirt and at the moment you see the odd flag but it will all be over soon as the international shirts will all be out. I didn't see any of them lifting the trophy or their party as I switch off the tv whenever they come on.
But if somebody wants to wear their shirt its up to them

I live in Leicester and work at Leicester uni ....... Next to the park where the parade finished. Safe to say that I cannot get away from foxes stuff at the moment. I've lost my hatred for them and it's replaced by envy ...... We used to be similarly sized clubs. We're now miles apart. It has however given me more passion to support the sky blues. Just looking at how their success has changed the city I live in - it's simply buzzing. I hope city can do something next season to give our fans something to celebrate.

I know it keeps on being said but they have shown that it can be done. I'm not envious of Leicester and like you it has made me even more determined to keep the faith.

Spot on. I went the Man Utd game tonight, the ground was half empty because so many tickets are sold to one off tourists.

They've shown that it can be done (if you find somebody willing to spend hundreds of millions of pounds).

Exactly. Was reading an article earlier today, would link it if I could remember where it was, that said Leicester winning the league will be a nightmare for clubs like Southampton and Norwich now. There will be a huge expectation for them to be able to do similar and increased pressure to pump in silly amounts of money.
People are going on like they were all free transfers nobody else wanted!
