Harry - LCFC Posted 18 April 2015 Posted 18 April 2015 The clappers in and of themselves are tacky and crap. Whacking a bit of card about isn't what I would call 'passionately engaging' with your club. What they do do however is convince people that they too can sing along if they want to. Begrudgingly I'd have to say they're a good thing. Would prefer if people just joined in completely of their own accord though.
Matt Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 One of the best down Filbert Way I recon. Ever. Love em' or Hate em' the clappers made the difference in terms of atmosphere. Personally, I don't use them, I clap with my hands and sing, but as Harry says if it gets people involved and makes them join in to create an atmosphere then so be it.
Ashley Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 We've been brilliant the past two games but why has it taken two games with these clappers too create an atmosphere? It's like all the shy people who never clap have come our and started doing it due to abit of card. I do like the clappers but **** um off next game and use ya hands... We can do it Make some ****ing noise we will go wild wild wild
howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 When Cambiasso went over for that corner near the end, that corner looked incredible with everyone using the clappers. I think thats the best atmosphere I've ever seen at the KP and the only time I've ever heard a noise like that before is when Steve Howard got that winner against Leeds.
The Invincible Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 No one goes near the clappers in L block as they're singing throughout anyway. Clappers just get used for chucking across at the away lot when we score.
Crazy Kop Corner Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Yesterday was an absolute joy to be a Leicester City supporter. I was very proud of everything about the club yesterday which felt immense.
MGLCFC Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 As many have said, you shouldn't need the clappers, but at times today, I realised I was hitting it against my leg for most of the game. So if it gets an extra 10000 joining in and makes the KP intimidating for to opposition, then they have to stay until we are safe.

They're not really that much different to the long forgotten football rattle that was very popular at least until the 50. Just a modern no plastic version. No one used to call them tacky. They're presumably aimed at the modern version of those fans young kids and older people although I don't use mine as I prefer to just clap.

Were rattles given out en masse by clubs or did people use their own initiative to create some atmosphere?
promised land Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 No one goes near the clappers in L block. That why the kop can never hear you then.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 No one goes near the clappers in L block as they're singing throughout anyway. Clappers just get used for chucking across at the away lot when we score. Correct. And I've found the elastic bands are a very good weapon to use at the away fans. I mean, you're not going to get a banning order for flicking laggy bands are you?

davieG Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Were rattles given out en masse by clubs or did people use their own initiative to create some atmosphere? Their own but I don't see how that makes the modern ones any more tacky lots of modern stuff is tacky compared with what went before. Clubs didn't give anything out there was nothing to give no shirts, no scarves people made they're own scarves etc. I bet if someone turned up today in an home made scarf people would take the pis. It's a totally different game now and people should accept they'll be modern ways of doing things and stop being toffee nosed about it. They're just sound generators.

Guest Col city fan Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 When Cambiasso went over for that corner near the end, that corner looked incredible with everyone using the clappers. I think thats the best atmosphere I've ever seen at the KP and the only time I've ever heard a noise like that before is when Steve Howard got that winner against Leeds. To be fair, me and mi mates said last night that we cannot recollect a reception like that, for a single player, for many years. It was like going back to the days of Lennon and Izzett! The whole of that end stood and applauded. Esteban is a cult figure already and fair play to him. He gives us his absolute all.
HighPeakFox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Fair play to you Col - although no doubt someone will twist what you said into 'miserable/negative'
Suffolk exile Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 It was the most amazing atmosphere I have EVER known at a match (we were in the East stand). I took my 2 boys (aged 6 and 9) for their first ever match - what an incredible baptism! It is something me and my boys will never forget!
jet64 Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I can't remember a better atmosphere..absolutely phenomenal effort from the whole ground! Same again next time please...lets spoil the Chelsea title party! ( if they win next week )

pazzerfox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 The fans need a big pat on the back for that. The stadium was absolutely rocking (literally), if we can keep that atmosphere up for the last 4 home games then we have got a real chance. Even Nigel commented on it.

Yeah definitely reminded me of the Izzet days when every corner (particularly when winning) was treated as an opportunity to show appreciation for a great player. Whatever one thinks of the individual player involved it's a bloody great feeling to have that sort of positivity at the club. Who knows, perhaps we can ride this positivity all the way to 17th and the drinks will be on you col!
iancognito Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 One thing the clappers have brought back is a bit of unity. Most people are using them and from the players jogging to one side of the pitch to warm up to Cambiasso coming to our side to take that corner, it's just carrying the players home. It's very similar to when the players were on the run-in last season and the atmoshere seemed to carry them over the line to the 100+ points. Marketing Department: Hello, we'd like to order 30000 more of those folded card things please! Printers: Great! You've had a foxes eyes and Foxes never quit, what do you want for the Chelsea match? Marketing: Errrrrr, Mourinho's face with "Beat Jose" ?
