Leicester City chairman Aiyawatt ‘Top’ Srivaddhanaprabha has challenged supporters to be the ’12th man’ in the team’s Championship title race for the remaining 2023/24 season.
Enzo Maresca’s side welcomes West Brom to the King Power Stadium for the first of four games until the end of the season. They host Southampton on Tuesday night, then travel to Preston North End and complete the season against Blackburn Rovers.
If City wins all four games, they would return to the Premier League immediately, but Leeds and Southampton remain in contention for automatic promotion.
Ahead of Saturday’s game against West Brom, Top has urged fans to rally behind Maresca’s side to help them win.Ahead of Saturday’s game against West Brom, Top has urged fans to rally behind Maresca’s side to help them win.
“We’ve reached a critical point in the season and our push for promotion back to the Premier League. “As we approach these critical final four games, I wanted to take the opportunity to address our supporters directly,” he stated in his programme notes.
“The Championship is a long season, and we worked hard to get to the point where we control our own destiny. Now, as players, staff, and supporters, we must stand together and fight to the finish line.
“Three of our four remaining games are at King Power Stadium, and we must make the most of this opportunity. Give the team your full support. If all goes well, you will be the driving force behind our success. If we suffer in the game, be the power that keeps us going. Our opponents must worry that they will never be able to break our spirit, unity, or belief. Foxes never quit. No matter what.
“From the first whistle to the last, we need you to be the 12th player, to elevate the team when they need it, to make life difficult for our opponents, and to leave the stadium feeling like you contributed to the outcome. Players and spectators, let’s leave everything on the field. We all understand the outcomes we require. Let us do our part to fight for them
“Foxes. Never. Quit.”
