    Absolutely not. I mean it´s the sort of thing that gets `the next generation` into football.

    How our form is at the moment the club should be more worried about child cruelty for forcing kids to watch us!

    Think it's absolutely disgusting to ask for money. Just another example of how football clubs fleece fans for every penny they can get.

    No they shouldn't. Why outprice the future of football out?

    Football is going to die one day if they carry on

    Of course they should.

    They get a full kit and 4 tickets.


    Like it or not, Leicester City Football Club is a business not a charity.

    Personally Im against changing kids for being mascots. Maybe they should not get all the perks or bring their own kits or something, but Im totally against the idea of charging your own younger supporters for being mascots.
    Just doesnt sit right with me personally.
    FOR EX:.
    I was a ST holder and LR for over 20 years and my kids are now fans/supporters. I think I've put enough finance into the club & maybe am entitled to expect a "little" something back for my loyalty and input.
    Im sure all you "long term ST holders" have spent in excess of10K GPB over the course of your times...would it be too much for the club to recognise this and maybe do something special for your kids or grandkids ?That would also incidently gaurantee that they remain supporters for life, and pay it back 10 fold? - got to look at the bigger picture as far as Im concerned.
    Just an opinion and im sure others will disagree <ok>

    It may be a business but 19 kits and 76 tickets a season is f*** all in the overall scheme of things.
