Whats The Problem With Another Relegation?

I've survived 9 relegations so far since my first one in 1969.
Another one will make 10.
Nothing special.
The world still spins on its axis.
The sun still rises in the morning.
All part of the rich tapestry that is LCFC.
Just chill out.
Que Sera Sera - according to Doris Day.
It depends on how big a part football plays in your life
Easy to dismiss as ‘no problem’ or even irrelevant if your life is enriched with a close family, good friends, hobbies, and good health.
For some, their football team is everything.
Brightening dark days when being able to celebrate successes, and providing something to look forward to when the team is in better form.
The joys of Leicester City’s successes in the recent past have played a big part in helping people through hard times and especially some with poor health.
Relegation can be a real kick in the teeth for some, but as you say, for others ‘what’s the problem’

Bang on ,I’ve made mind up I’m ready to finish ssn tkt as can’t stand the clubs snidely ways but if we do go down I’ll be tempted to stay at it especially if a new regime came in with ideas that appeal to me ie they know true football supporters mindsets. Ps soho was thinking last night only relegation that I felt was a magic season to follow the lads home n away in my time was 80 81 as they had a real go ,but what was 68 69 like as we wearnt a bad unit from reading down years. 5 year before my addiction started ie just a pup.

It can be a laugh, until you end up there for a quarter of a century like the red shite managed, whilst your near neighbours are winning everything.

Not for me.

Last thing we need is another relegation.
We have a great chance of staying up this season with no point deduction.
We must grasp it and kick on next summer to get a footing in the division again.
 
Don’t get me wrong, it was a shit night, but a bit of context.

The club that doesn’t care about this fixture are celebrating at world cup win levels on their forum. That’s how shit the last 25 years have been for the

Had we won the game in the same manner , it wouldn’t have made the top 50 wins in our last 25 years.
 
I’m with George on this
And if your football club is all you have in your life, without wishing to sound callous, 2 things
One a bit of suffering on the football front will enrich your experience surely? And two, wtf? Join the library, volunteer somewhere, join a club or summat

Wtf you on about!!!!!!!
I've had 46 years of suffering from our football club till 2016!
Also, I have a very good life away from football!
The most stupidest post in the history of BR!
 
I don't support them any less because they are not in the Premier League.
In fact one of the best seasons I've ever enjoyed was the season we were in League One. Everything about that season was a blast.
How many times do I have to say that thankfully short episode was a a complete embarrassment for a club of our history never having sunk to those depths before. Thanks to NP for getting us out of it.

You only started supporting our club in 1966. By that time I had seen them in two FA Cup finals and two League Cup finals winning one. Also saw a number of our players winning International caps in the days when they were very hard to get. Gordon Banks, Davie Gibson, Frank McLintock, Derek Dougan, Ken Leek, Jackie Sinclair. After that, If you think sinking to Div 3 is a blast you must have a strange sense of history.
 
It wasn't "sinking to Div 3" that was a blast.
It was the way we dealt with it once the season started. It was the days out we had at entirely new venues in entirely new towns or cities like Orient away, MK Dons away, Colchester away, Northampton away and last but the best Southend away.
Not to mention Cheltenham to see Bruin (God Bless him) get slung out by OB.
I'll never forget that season even though we should never have been in that situation. I loved the way we dealt with it.
Even Millwall away (thanks Stevie Howard) with half of the cars parked within 880 yards of the New Den being set on fire was unforgettable!

As we walk through the mist of our Citeh memories,
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity,
We ask ourselves, "Is Cooper the answer to what’s gone wrong with us?
Or is there only pain and hatred and misery?"

And each time we feel like this inside
There's one thing Soho wants us all to know
What’s so funny about peace, love and understanding,
No, sorry.
What’s the problem with another fookin’ relegation?

As I said, getting straight back was down to NP. I only went to one away game that season at Peterborough and we lost. Even if we had won I wouldn't have felt elated. Just like when Man U got relegated in 74. With their history winning Div 2 was no great achievement for them and they sheepishly paraded the trophy. If you got your kicks from visiting dumps like Colchester and Southend then bully for you. My first away games were at cathedrals like Hillsborough, Old Trafford, Goodison and Anfield
 
I don't suppose many Man City fans give a tupenny toss about spending a season in League One back in the 1990's.

Interesting point. They had fallen a long way from grace. Much further than us. Can't say I cared after the FA Cup losses to them in the 60s. Paul Dickov is a hero to them though.

We were not the first ex top tier club to sink down to tier 3 or lower. It happened to Wolves, Villa, the Sheffield clubs and others. It just hit me particularly hard as it was the first time in our history and so far away from the glory days. I'm over it now but don't like being reminded.
 
Face up to it and you can take the positives from it.
Stick a blanket over your head and your fingers in your ears and you'll never come to terms with it.
