The club always likes to treat everybody especially away supporters better than their own supporters and have a cupboard full of awards to prove it.

Quite right, not even buying adequate players. That would be a start. No wonder Leicester fans are mourning, they lost a decent one there

I’m on about our caterers giving free food / hot drinks to the Leicester fans. Was mentioned on ‘Call Rob’ on Radio Wales. Personally I think that’s OTT.
What LCFC do is entirely their business

the first time I gave it any thought at all was the first time I read a similar post online..
the thought was...gobsmacked
I always thought we buy tickets , programmes, stuff in the shop etc to support the club and the more of us that do this the stronger the club is...over the years ive been far more likely to moan that the club isn't doing enough in the selling us stuff department { and therefore missing out } than wishing they would give me a cup of tea...

I think the article said that Leicester give their away fans a free breakfast, not us.

On the Rob Phillips phone in he said that LCFC had given all travelling fans a free breakfast and ccfc has also given frehot drinks and food on their arrival at the stadium.
Not reported anywhere but deffo mentioned on the BBC Wales phone in.

I have always thought the Club/players could do more for the fans but that's just a personal opinion as it is what I would do as quite a generous person. Especialy the further you go up the Leagues and the amount of money that bounces around in Football but I don't 'expect it' and it's obviously not a condition of my support.

Extreme example but they say Ozil is on 350,000k a week. He could have paid for 50 coaches to bring the Arsenal fans to Cardiff for 15% of his weekly wage, imagine they had spread that through the squad they would have all had to chuck in less than 1% probably, not a lot to ask, gives something back to the fans and is a nice gesture.

Exactly how I see it.

forget the publicity stunts and freebies that cost pennies, all i expect from the owner is the following:

1) keep ticket prices reasonable and don't exploit fans loyalty.
2) don't mess around with our identity.
3) be honest.
4) don't take money out of the club.

sadly the current owner has failed on more than one of those.

I certainly wouldn’t begrudge him taking some cash back as he’s put enough in.
He’s also kept ticket prices reasonable.

So go ahead and name them as I can't see beyond point 2

As far as I’m concerned LCFC can give whatever they want to their fans.
It’s what our club apparently gave them for nothing when they were in our stadium. That’s what I thought was OTT.

So a free cup of coffee or soft drink is to much to ask for or expect then.

Like I have always us fans are just mugs and our support has always been taken granted for.
