Once again, Leicester City Football Club has become an example of public ridicule, serving as an unwitting punchline even to its most devoted followers. Only a few mere days ago, the Foxes faithful openly berated the club for their desperate, protracted attempts to shift tickets for the supposedly celebratory 5000-1 anniversary match.
1 more day until we don’t have to see you tweet about this every second

The Blue Army has rightly roasted the upcoming spectacle, citing the lamentably low calibre of the so-called "All-Star" opposition set to grace the King Power turf. Furthermore, the Leicestershire club's hierarchy faced stinging rebukes for their glaring failure to secure the attendance of iconic 2015/16 architects, most notably N'Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez.
There's more tweets about this then people attending the match lol

Now, City appear to be venturing into the murky waters of disingenuous marketing by dangling the names of Kasper Schmeichel and Jamie Vardy before an expectant public. While the presence of such legendary figures in the stands might momentarily stir the soul, it offers precious little in the way of a compelling sporting contest for those within the LE2 postcode.
Leicester City's Jamie Vardy announcement
Naturally, LCFC supporters have articulated their profound frustration regarding the announcement that Vardy, in particular, will grace the event in a purely observational capacity rather than a competitive one. The sentiment among the disillusioned is so stark that some of the still-loyal congregation have gone as far as to demand that the entire ill-conceived charade be cancelled.

"In the stands" yeah I'm thrilled

While even seeing greats like Schmeichel and "Vards" is a treat, the situation was recently fairly toxic on Filbert Way. Hopefully the mood is family-friendly.
Can’t wait to see Vardy sitting in the stands! What a time to be alive.

It is a curious and melancholy state of affairs when a club, having reached the zenith of the sporting world a decade ago, finds itself grappling with such self-inflicted ignominy. Maybe the Leicester ownership might have been better served reflecting on their glorious past alone, with more dignity, rather than inviting such vociferous scorn for this anniversary commemoration.
Back to reality after tomorrow lads👍
