I was asking whether you were there chanting throughout as there were times when tbh other than shouts of encouragement or exasperation, there were no audible chants, particularly when we were 3-1 down so I’m not sure even you were actually following your call to arms. Or were you even there?
To answer your question, no I wasn't. Not through my choice and I will leave it at that.
However, have been at front of section since it started and do give 90 mins of backing. There is no doubt that there have been games where even there it's gone flat, we regularly address this within UFS as well. So it's not perfect but generally, it is 90 mins of support. For the atmosphere to improve, it needs a lot more people to have that mindset. Back the team even when the football might be uninspiring, trust me, it makes the matchday experience much more enjoyable. If it wasn't for the section/UFS I would likely have given up spending money/wasting my time. The matchday experience is not as enjoyable without it.

Were you honestly making the effort to chant throughout the match against Forest? Because if you were there were times when you couldn’t be heard. I was there as I always am as a season ticket holder and I try and join in with any UFS chants who I sit further along from. After Forest went 3-1 up, Bouba had come on and it was very clear that Cooper and the team were going through the motions, it was very quiet, only Forest fans could be heard.
I know that it happens, when we are losing or playing badly on the pitch, the stadium goes quiet. The point I am making is that it's down to us fans to change that. Just because we are playing badly, doesn't mean we have to be silent. It's not inspiring and it is hard work but that just requires extra effort from individuals. It's like saying player X and Y had a bad game because the team didn't play well. In those moments you need individuals to step up and try and change things.

Football on the pitch dictates the atmosphere - this is obviously true to some extent but it's a lazy excuse. Make some effort to change that. If that's the excuse you want to use, take a deep look in the mirror.
Songbook is thin - again, lame excuse. Is it really? Plenty of songs around that regularly get aired. It might seem thin because trying to keep an atmosphere for 90 mins means repeating a lot of them multiple times.
New songs are rubbish or not being aired - new songs do get aired. Some that haven't been tried, get them going, don't solely rely on UFS/SK1. In fact, some of the newer songs UFS try get bashed. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Songs are repetitive and last too long - this happens to try and get people to join in and prevent silence. Again, people need to pull their fingers out and join. "Oh I don't like that chant, I won't join in."
Almost a 100% of the problems are people's attitude. It's horrific at times. If people could be bothered to back the team for 90 mins no matter what is happening on the pitch, there would be no need for all these discussions. That's the crux of it. But people will find multiple excuses to cover that.
Yes, UFS can improve but everything is done with the aim of getting behind the team and getting others to join in. Chants are started because very rarely, others do. Thus it is mostly driven by UFS but if others are loud enough, that does not always have to be the case. There can be improvements on starting the "right" songs at the right time. Within UFS, this is something we look to do regularly but we are not perfect. A lot of the time it requires some quick thinking.
In summary, we all need to be better if we want to improve the atmosphere. If you leave the ground knowing you gave it everything, you have done your job. I bet you will struggle to find many more than 100 or so who could really say that.

Which is odd really when some of the biggest fans of that section say they don’t want to move because they don’t want to be doing w4nker signs all day to the away fans and want to watch the match and support the team. More to add on the hypocrisy at a later date if people want to go hard against that, or some Wally bans me from the thread again. But just for clarity if people think I’m trying to dig certain groups out, no I’m not, but those same
people need to understand that many other people want to support the team how THEY want, not how other tell them they should
edit- just to add more context, I don’t care if you support or do whatever, I’m a true liberal, but don’t expect everyone to conform and then say they are in the wrong if they disagree
Either you are being fed some rubbish info or you are making a stereotype out of people in SK1.
The general consensus is that most people in there understand the different types of support. L1 is a different type of supporter to the majority in SK1. People understand that. However, there are 28,000+ other supporters who don't really get involved with either and I am not having the fact that all those are happy clappers, sit down types. A fair few probably, but not all. So the biggest concern is how to bring more into the singing section who will give it a good go and those who don't like that style of support but want to contribute, get them to L1 (or now P block if that's the future for them).
Both can exist and will benefit the atmosphere but it needs those sitting on the fence or not pulling their weight to get involved. Club don't help but there is still enough power with the people if they really want to make a difference.
You mention the guy with his back to the pitch not supporting the team. Why do you actually think that? Do you think he does nothing to contribute to the atmosphere? If you actually knew a bit more about why he does that, then maybe you realise how wrong you are. Considering how "liberal" you are, you really do moan about SK1/the singing section a lot.

Do you get the money even if the club do not sell your ticket on?

Am I wrong here or for someone to "legitimately share their ticket with friends and family", they have to be signed up to be a member which is quite obviously a money-making exercise?
No, you can pass your season ticket on to someone in your friends and family up to 5 times per season. They do not need a membership. I did this the other week for Villa, Someone just created an account, I linked it to mine and passed them the ticket for that match.

We need a minimum of 9 points from those.
We could do with being unbeaten against the likes of Everton, Forest, Southampton, and Ipswich.
12 points if we are going to stay up comfortably this season.

Got a bad feeling they'll move Ipswich to Monday or something crap. We never seem to get that game at a decent time and we've just simply not had many moved.
Man Utd away by my calculation has to be Sunday regardless.
In theory, Ipswich vs Leicester shouldn't be a TV game but you never know. I think Man U and Chelsea games will be our TV picks for November. Maybe even just Chelsea.

Fair enough if that happens to be the case. I could be mistaken, but seem to recall Cardiff away last season had a designated seating area/block which was stood during the game anyway.
Cardiff had a much smaller standing area. When over 90% is standing like at Southampton, that should give enough people the chance to buy in the standing area. According to surveys 85-90% of people are in favour of standing, so those numbers match up.

This probably has to be said because of the regulations but in reality, this won't be the case will it? Any visiting team isn't going to have a block of away fans all sitting down.
There are literally over 2,800 safe standing spots to choose from with only 150 odd seats. So yes, those seats will genuinely have sitters in it.

my mate wanted one after the deadline and they said no, but i know if i lost mine i could ask for a replacement (but would still have to pay £25) - so maybe tell them you've lost one and hope you speak to one of the more easy going ticket staff. its a lottery, 2 different phone calls to them can give you 2 different answers.
The problem is, if they know you have a digital ticket, that excuse won't work. You can hope that they don't check if you paid for a physical card or not.

Also interested in this although more in Bremen / Hamburg area as have a trip planned. I assumed going direct to club website.
Both of those teams or other teams in that area you should be able to buy through club. Only exceptions are local derbies or big games like Bayern/Dortmund etc.
HSV best chance as 2.Liga.

Looking for a bit of advice, hopefully some people on here who’ve been out to German league games. What’s the best way of getting tickets for dortmund games, any recommendations on package companies or sites to get tickets? Cheers all.
You can forget Dortmund through official means. Best chance would be to go in the away end if the team don't sell out.

I know someone who tried it and got nowhere. So your chances are slim.

Points deduction, we're waiting for you.

To be fair, even the home fans are getting this.
Might have dreamt this but pretty sure away tickets cannot be more expensive than home tickets. Walsall will see it as a money spinner.

I remember the stevanage game in league one ( first round of the FA cup i believe). I reckon around 5k max at that game.
There was a game against Fleetwood too, feel like only West Stand and possibly some of Kop open

if you're all that bothered can't you just move to one bit together as the ground hardly going to be full
There will be people there so it's a bit late. If the club would have just not reserved seats and shut the East Stand and maybe even North Stand, it would have been easy to do. They've probably sold around 5% of tickets so far. It's a League 2 side at home when schools are back, they really haven't used their brains once again.
UFS will be in the usual spot, usual section. Would suggest people to move into SK1 if they want to be a part of the section. If we fill it out it will be good for the atmosphere in what will be a 10-12K crowd at best.

Will we have WYS with the tribute to Shakey taking place?
Ideally minute's applause, players get set for KO and WYS then rings out. It does sort of fit in with the tribute too.

Just as a heads-up, Fulham have made a point of putting this on their website.
*Subject to postcode restrictions - Fulham FC will be monitoring bookings and any tickets purchased by supporters who live in the vicinity of Leicester (and local areas) who do not have a previous booking history with us, will be terminated.
