Plaudits for our Atmosphere, let's keep it up

[Weller in Tights]

We received plenty of plaudits for our atmosphere yesterday.

The commentator on Sky said the leicester fans at one point were "increasing the noise levels if that was possible as they're always noisy". The BBC commentators mentioned the noise level and how it was like this last season and Ranieri complimented the crowd on the noise level.

We are getting a reputation as a noisy intimidating stadium.

Yes we will have some opposition fans doing the usual of trying to belittle the atmosphere by saying the 'clappers' are tinpot or saying the chants are unoriginal.

Sod 'em. They really are just jealous. They really wish their home atmosphere was as good.

Yes in an ideal world I wish our 'songbook' was more varied but generally the more fans that get involved the more 'basic' and straight forward the chants become, as they are easier for everyone to follow.

The players have said they like the crowd being noisy and so to be honest I'm sure they're not bothered about 'variety' they just want to hear a loud crowd backing them.

Let's keep it up folks, especially if/when we go behind in a game.

Oh and well done again to UnionFS, the brilliant TIFO, started it all off well.

The clappers are awful, but you can't argue with their success. Our ground is deafening now at times, and I never thought I'd say that.

[jimmeh]

I see it more down to the fact we are getting early goals. If the opposition went 2-0 up within 10 mins, the atmosphere would soon go sour.

[Jimbo]

The thing I love about our atmosphere at the moment, probably more noticeable with the extended, more frequent tv coverage, is the movement of the cameras when we score. The stands bounce so much it makes you want to adjust you tv when you watch it back.

As I said yesterday re the clappers. Like them or not they do their job and get people who wouldn't usually join in creating noise

Without a doubt, it's easier to be loud and enthusiastic when you're winning.

So yes, the challenge is to keep up the atmosphere when/if we go behind.

The thing is we are getting a reputation as having a noisy atmosphere and the manager/players do appreciate it, let's keep it up.

Fact is though we begin the game loud and enthusiastic. We dont wait for a goal to come before being loud.

 

More teams will start bringing in the clappers when others see how we start games on the front foot. Vardy is explosive from the first kick. Catching teams out from the get go would generally suggest an early goal therefore the atmosphere continues.

 

The clappers have now allowed people who are a bit more reserved than others and might feel a bit embarrassed to stand and chant to now have a genuine way of increasing the noise in the ground with little effort. Other teams laugh at the clappers but we are the team that are benefitting from a noisier stadium and it is showing in the results we are getting.

 

What is it now 8 wins 1 draw 1 defeat in our last 10 Premier League games? That is Title winning form. The increased atmosphere i believe has made a huge contribution to that set of results

Like the clappers but it's time to try a match without them

Yes, otherwise it becomes the norm.

 

Save them for special occasions.

[Larry_LCFC]

Wish we'd ditch the half arsed poznam now though. It doesn't look great in all honesty. The people doing it are just too spread out.

I don't see why we should change anything while we're playing so well. I'd try dropping them when we're on a bad run, if anything.

[Fox92]

Clappers get people the don't usually seem to clap involved so fair play. Still hate the clapping to "Uptown Funk" though. 

[EnglishOxide]

Wish we'd ditch the half arsed poznam now though. It doesn't look great in all honesty. The people doing it are just too spread out.

I don't know why the people still doing it haven't caught on yet

[yorkie1999]

Think there should be a wheelie bin in the concourse so fans can chuck a quid in to pay for the next tifo.

[Fox42]

Not gonna lie I love it. Gets me more pumped up for the game than the two vids they play in the build up

[m4DD0gg]

The clappers are what this stadium has been crying out for since it was built to increase the atmosphere.

 

Yesterday was deafening at times.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I quite like it ....... And it's spreading

[stillwater]

Noticed from SK 1 that a large part of the family stand are now joining in with the Poznan,

From where Im sitting I can see the whole east stand and family stand and I can assure you, its really not. There are pockets of people - the main one being near the drum, a few lower down, some towards the middle of the east stand, and a few rows in the family stand. It looks poor.

[Deucalion]

Some people did the Poznan in the Loo yesterday.

Like it or not, it's here to stay, and if people enjoy it, then no problem.

Edit - Damn auto correct, people did the Poznan in the KOP !!

They've been doing it as long as L1 have but in smaller pockets, kids love stuff like that.

Not fussed on it really as it doesn't affect me in SK2 and it stopped at away games about 3 games into doing it years ago!

It's amusing seeing the front of L1 when it looks like only two or three are doing it though.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Imagine you're an opposition player. You walk out of the tunnel to a wall of noise (chanting and clappers), sometimes there's a fan display too. As the game kicks of the noise remains and within 20 seconds Vardy is steaming in to you. Must be very hard to keep your head and not wonder what the hell you've just walked in to and there have been a fair few that haven't fancied it.

Best home atmosphere in the country and it's great to see our support at home getting to the point where it's on a par with our away support (which is always great).

[lestajigs]

When the players came out yesterday, the noise was insane in k1

[davieG]

It's  so loud it gives me tinitus for the next couple of days I'm  considering turning my hearing aid off but then I can't  talk to my son but then it's  too loud to talk to him and I'm  in Go. 

[Guest CityFan 06]

Will we have them every home game do we think?

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

It sounded great on the tv.
