Don’t get the best views of them from where I am but looked very good as always. I’d be a little peeved if I’d spent money and time on it only for people to tear holes in it to see!!

Completely funded by Leicester fans purchasing the groups merch. Every right to be peeved. 

 

Top effort from the lads smashing it

It was in tatters before it got even a few rows back. It had clearly been shredded in production as well seeing how much tape was used to hold areas together.

 

Don't moan about rips when the material is pretty sodding useless and it's getting manhandled by 6000 people.

If we use material that's any thicker it doesn't move over the crowd well.

Dont blame anybody for ripping it. If you want to applaud the team on the pitch. Why wasnt it made of fine mesh so you can see through it? No thought for the thousands that want to enjoy the whole match experience.  And it was up for a good 5 minutes

Normally a supporter of the tifos but that was seriously uncomfortable under it today and pretty claustrophobic. Not surprised people were picking holes, my dad had to go back down to the concourse he was really struggling.

It was up too early, I'll give you that. However there are two things you need to consider here. 1) Cost. Remember that it's funded by fan donations and merchandise sales. 2) Authenticity. Somethings means much more when a group of people put hours of hard work into it rather than just sending a design off to be printed.

The reason it was up early was exactly because of people wanting to rip holes through it. If UFS, position it too late than everyone moans about not seeing. The guys fully well knew someone would rip through it, happens every time. Get it up early would mean getting down as quick as possible. 

 

Now if the club allow the guys to use the pulley system, we wouldn’t have the issue would we?

Not the best of ideas having 4000 people stuck under a polythene sheet with no air flow in August maybe okay in January.

Seriously? I mean, seriously?

 

I'd take a wild guess that the number of people who have suffocated under a tifo display at a football stadium is approximately ZERO!

The next one should encourage people to rip it... imagine the effect you'd create of some picture dissolving away...

I'm about 8 rows from the front at the Kop and there were already holes in it when it got near me.

 

Good display though.

Plus it was proper shit up underneath, I like to go to match days in smart attire, I don't intend on holding some cheap flimsy dirty plastic above my head for a good 5 minutes, my mate stabbed a hole to look out and the teams hadn't even come onto the pitch.

 

Dirty, sweaty, claustrophobic, terrible idea, if that little group of teenagers and students want to do these amateur displays then why don't the club only allow them in their top corner of SK1. 

 

I'm contacting the club and health and safety over this, some fans near me were struggling to breathe. Plus some couldn't see the steps as it was very dark under there. What were they thinking off?
