I really like this. Nice and simple. Everyone likes this tune. It was played a lot at Lord's yesterday which reminded me of once watching England play at Old Trafford when the Barmy Army were belting out Sweet Panesar to Monty P all afternoon and everyone joined in. Lots of beer helped too I guess 😄

Well done JR. Not time to rest just yet though!

Wow!!!! It actually happened? Wait, am I awake now? Massive signing for us. The significance of this is huge. Welcome back Youri.

Agreed. Voice of reason...... ....but still, sooooooo excited for the new season!!!! And it's only 6th July COYB!!!

Me too KingKoala. Feels like we're being greedy and building it up too much, but it really does feel like a possibility now. Hope Harry sticks two fingers up to Man U as well. Brendan Rodgers at the helm, the team just getting better and better 2nd half of last season, playing great against the top sides, the white shorts making a comeback.... The stars are aligning again. Top is pulling out all the stops to make it happen. Sooooooo excited!

Ricardo watch and learn.....😂

Same for me. But then we always used to stand home and away and we never really thought about sitting at all. By the time all seater stadia was enforced, my dad had long since given up going.

Thanks DavieG, one of my favourite moments at filbo. Plus the near scrap with Ian Wright that followed just after 😃👍

And I don't disagree with your point either. I was brought up and into football the same way, but you must have noticed that times are changing? For one thing, the ticket prices are forcing out many of the working class and the youth from the game. As I say, I don't disagree with your point, but if people really want more atmosphere, you have to include the majority. You can't expect the middle class mums and dads with their 6 and 7 year olds and perhaps some of the older gentlefolk who attend these days to join in. My suggestion was simply to focus a bit more on the songs that they can all join in with. For fox sake 😉

Agree with this. Also think previous suggestions of handing out song sheets would help people to join in. Just one song per match maybe. Plus, and I know this will be controversial, but we need songs with less f'ing and jeffing. As mentioned in the away end discussion, our crowd has changed over time from mostly young blokes into a real family mix of different ages and we need to be inclusive of all these groups to get everyone involved. We've got some good songs like "Leicester boys are we" and "We only love love the boys in blue" etc that would fit the bill.

Remember this amazing away end - 8000 "singing in the rain" in Nottingham

Very difficult for everyone to sing in unison and build atmosphere when the away section is split so far apart by a massive pit like it was on Saturday. That stadium as a whole just wasn't conducive to generating noise. The home fans struggled too. What a come down after Upton Park. If lcfc split the away section at the KP it would probably have a similar impact?

This would make a real difference imo. I'm in front of UFS, but a little further towards SK2. I hear some (sadly not enough) of our chants picked up in SK2 for a while, but they soon fizzle out. I also hear the occasional strong chant that must have originated from further across the kop, maybe SK3, which gets picked up by us in SK1, but by that time the rest of the kop has fallen silent again. It's a shame because the sound is so incredible when the whole kop sings as one Maybe getting UFS to set up centrally behind the goal would help getting the whole end singing the same chant at the same time. When I attended the England game at the KP, the England band set up behind the goal, so I don't see why the club would object?

My favourite too. Wonderful talent. Seems a top bloke too.

Maybe. But at least they should both be 'in tune' with the game. The "different interpretations" they all seem to have is a big part of what upsets the fans (and the players I guess). Need more consistency in refereeing. I know it must be incredibly difficult, so they need all the help they can get!
