As Leicester City begin their Premiership promotion campaign against Middlesbrough at the Riverside this afternoon, Tim Healy asks people if the Foxes can succeed after the heartbreak of last season's play-off semi-final at Watford.
Patrick Gallagher, 26, unemployed, Northfields
"I really hope we can do it this year. We came close last time only to lose to Watford. We have not had any big signings and that could hold us back."
Chris Townsend, 34, insurance technician, Anstey
"I think we will be hit by a salary cap this year. We have not been able to offload players on high wages and bring in players to strengthen the squad. We will struggle to get into the play-offs."
Jake Gibson, 22, engineer, Hamilton
"I don't know how we will do this year. I just hope we beat Forest and end up above them in the league."
Harish Rajani, 64, city council worker, Leicester
"I hope we do well this year. I think we are in with a chance of getting promotion. But it will be difficult, as there are a lot of good teams in the Championship.
Mary Raynor, 74, retired, Newtown Linford
"I am very optimistic about Leicester City. Of course we will get promotion this year, after what happened last time."
Tyler Boyce-Hill 22, recruitment consultant, Clarendon Park
"If we are to succeed, we need to score our penalties and not lose vital games at the last moment. I think if we can get off to a good start, that will help. In the past, Leicester have had periods in the season when they went of the boil."
Cathy Noon, 64, retired, formerly of Highfields, now Adelaide, South Australia
"My husband, Richard, is a City fan and we follow the club from Down Under. We hope the Foxes can do it this year. If they do, we will be able to watch more of them on television."
Sally Munday, 43, housewife, born in Leicester now Adelaide, South Australia
"Our family, especially my sons, follow Leicester and listen to matches and catch up with them on the web. We hope they get promotion to the Premier League."
Ilfan Novsarka, 44, mobile phone franchise owner, Highfields
"I think Leicester City need to increase the power in the squad if they are to challenge for promotion this year. It will be good for Leicester if the team does manage promotion."
Julian Constable,49, teacher, Coalville
"I am more of a Tigers fan, but it would be good for Leicester if the Foxes do gain promotion. City have the ground and the support to do well in the Premier League.
Keren Coe, 57, housewife, Leicester
"I have been a Leicester City fan for a number of years and I really hope they can get promotion. The club deserves it.
Mark Brown, 40, engineer, Leicester
"I used to be a season ticket holder. I always used to think we would get promotion, too. Now I am not sure because we have not got any real stars. We won't be relegated, though."
