The last thing Leicester City fans wanted at the end of this gruelling and disenchanting campaign was an exhibition match. Even a friendly game commemorating the astounding Premier League title win a decade ago feels unpalatable at present. It shouldn't - though this is Top's Leicester!
​Sure, the Blue Army would love to see their favourite ever squad of players again, especially in action. But the timing is as bad as it gets.
Celebrating the great 2016 team was never off the table, but interest in this spectacle appears to be minimal.Judging by comments from people who would surely ordinarily attend, and the volume of advertising LCFC are pushing absolutely everywhere, sales must also be disappointing.
Why the Leicester City faithful has no appetite for happy endings at the moment
​That scenario would make sense considering the disaster The King Power International Group preside over. Recent catastrophic relegation to League One has left an indelible stain on the LE2 club's contemporary history, rendering retrospective jubilations entirely tone-deaf.
Evidently, the modern hierarchy remains oblivious to the profound despondency permeating on Filbert Way. It is a grotesque paradox to ask supporters to finance a commemoration of historic zenith whilst simultaneously enduring the nadir of an unprecedented institutional collapse.
As evidence, below are a few X posts from Foxes supporters calling out the ownership and showing no enthusiasm for the event whatsoever.

Certain members of the fan base tell it how it is.
​Ultimately, this synthetic carnival cannot mask the administrative malpractice that transformed English football's greatest fairy-tale into an unmitigated nightmare. The support demans accountability, streamlining and systemic restoration, not a superficial exercise in nostalgia designed to distract from operational ruin.
