With You Then, With You Now, With You Again: City Fans Speak As The Restart Approaches

As Brendan Rodgers’ team restart the Premier League season, we know there will be something missing. Something that’s always been there. The people that truly bring the magic to the game. Our supporters.

If you can’t be here, we needed to find another way to bring the Blue Army together; to connect you with each other and with the players in the stadium. So we asked you.

Through direct supporter consultation and through the voice of social media, we listened. We asked what you were looking forward to about the restart and we asked you what you would say to the players if you couldn’t be here to show them your support. We looked for a message that would speak for all of you.

Themes emerged: ‘Stay safe’; ‘We’re right behind you’; ‘Finish what you started’; ‘Keep making us proud’. You wanted us to know that you’d still be with us, as you always have been. And as we know you will be in the future. That your absence would never diminish your passion.

With you then. With you now. With you again.

A simple message from our fans to our players. The voice of our Club as we voyage into uncharted waters. A declaration of solidarity and togetherness until we meet again. When the players enter King Power Stadium, they may not see you, but they will see your voice. And they will know you are with them.

The mantra will form a central part of the Club’s supporter engagement activities while games take place behind closed doors. We know you still want to make your voices heard as you follow the games from home and we’ll give you the platform – increasing our focus on interactive content and giving you, our supporters, the chance to be the stars of it. The stadiums might be empty, but our fans will still provide the backdrop to the action – lighting up the digital landscape with sound, colour and passion – just as you would from your seats in King Power Stadium.

To kick it all off, we want the players to hear from you. Directly.

Across our social media platforms, we’re asking you to send us your video messages for the squad ahead of the restart. Maybe you haven’t missed a home game for decades. Maybe games at King Power Stadium means time with your family. Maybe you named your child after a Foxes legend. Maybe you follow the team from afar and have some words of advice for those that normally tread the path to Filbert Way. With you then, with you now, with you again is what we heard from you – now we need you to bring it to life. We want your stories of what it means to you. 

The best videos will be taken and presented to the team ahead of the season restarting, ensuring Brendan Rodgers and his squad hear it directly from you – the fans.
