Plaudits for our Atmosphere, let's keep it up

[Larry_LCFC]

Sounds fairly decent on sky sports surprisingly.

[Voll Blau]

Thought it was wank today. Again, had a player (Fuchs) having to gee our home end up. He shouldn't need to do that.

[leicesterseddon]

Thought it was crap today.

Having said that, it wasn't a particularly exciting game and the Norwich fans weren't exactly brilliant.

It will be better on Tuesday

[Livid]

the thing that annoyed me most about it was that they'd stop halfway down the stairway so totally blocking the view of when they were attacking. idiots. total idiots.

I moved from SK1 because of this last year.

Didn't think it was awful today but not the best.

It was freezing, the team weren't exactly firing and there was some frustration, some credit to Norwich, and a lot of nerves.

Then he put the pull out of play from a corner. He was poor today

[Dynamogoon]

Interesting to know how many of those moaning about the atmosphere actually contributed themselves.

[Wolfox]

Fair play to anyone that's in SK4 have been very vocal all year, kept a lot of it going today.

Tried to do my bit and I'm not normally a singer... But, couldn't resist going full throttle after the Gooooaaaaaalllll !!!

My throat was hoarse by the end.

Thing is on TV it can be 'made' to sound good, obviously there needs to be some noise there for a start but they can control mic's - turn the volume up on the mic's, e.t.c.

 

I think people are right, we've made the atmosphere so good that when it's like yesterday we think it's poor.

 

Compare yesterday to 2 years or more ago and yesterday was very loud, that doesn't make it right because 2 years or more ago it was like a morgue and dropping a bag of nails would have made more noise.

 

We need to be better than yesterday but it really wasn't as bad a people are making out.

I started this thread many moons ago now because I had often moaned on here over the years about the lack of atmosphere in modern football and yet I was now so pleased with our atmosphere.

I have been happy that there had been loads of contributing factors (L1, SK1, Back of the P block in the family stand, drums, clappers etc)and especially with the clappers, I thought they were good because they got more of the crowd involved.

Yesterday was the first time that I thought maybe it's time for the clappers to go. I'm at the back of the family stand in P block. Numbers there singing varies from game to game (maybe 30 - 60), this group singing helps gets the Family stand singing, often joining in what L1 are singing.

Yesterday, until the goal, most of the family stand just clapped along with the clappers with very few of them joining in.

For the first time this season, I felt annoyed about the clappers.

I have argued in the past that at least it gets some that wouldn't normally get involved, to actually feel part of the atmosphere. However yesterday they did wind me up a bit.

I really do hope that it's not some of our fans getting like Man U fans and just turning up and sitting eating their prawn sandwiches hoping to see the usual victory.

We are Leicester, We have to work with the team, get involved in what could be the greatest season EVER.

DO NOT GET TO THE END OF THE SEASON AND WISH YOU HAD CONTRIBUTED MORE!

YOUR VOICE BOXES SHOULD BE BLEEDING AFTER EVERY GAME.

We ARE the 12th man, let us all make sure we are part of this amazing season.

Two worst home performances of the season have been against Norwich and Bournemouth. Why? Because a percentage of fans just expect a walkover and just moan/grumble when we don't get the expected performance.

The sense of entitlement coming in is baffling

 

Sadly you can sense it. It was the same when we played Burnley at home last year.

 

I thought it was disappointing again. It's expectation that's doing it. People don't want to know if they expect us to turn up and win.

Honestly thought they were one of the best here this season. One of the very few I heard quite regularly.

[Bluetintedspecs]

Pathetic effort from the kop today. Only 30 odd in SK1 wanted to know.

Drink or drug problem Baker? Poor and only 30 people, wow and I bet that was you and 29 prople stood near you? Ha ha ha ha ha what about the other 100, 000,000 in the ground? So silly exaggerating

really?

 

I'm pretty sure there were ironic cheers from our end when they finally sang loud enough around 60-70mins? That was all I can remember hearing from them. 

[LCFC FOX]

I get more annoyed by the fact a lot of people only decide to make some noise to moan, grunt or shout FFS when our players weren't going forward or misplaced a pass.

Like seriously how does that help the players?

Was watching a full replay of the match and just after final whistle there were numerous crowd shots including a shot of the big bloke who bangs the drum at the back of one of the stands - they often scan to him during matches I have noticed.

Question - In the scan at the end of the game there was another big bloke next to him wearing a green zip up track top with yellow strips on arms - was this bloke a Norwich fan or did one of our own decide to wear the opposition colours?

Problem is, if you take away the clappers, would those people then start singing or hand clapping? very much doubt it.

[DennisNedry]

Sometimes you can tell it's going to be poor from the off.

 

I sit in J Block and I can usually gauge what the atmosphere is going to be like all game from L/K Blocks before the kick off, usually from how well 'Hey Jude' is observed and how loud it is sung. If it's loud and followed by another song, it's a good sign. If it's subdued then you can bet on a poor atmosphere like yesterday, especially if the game itself is poor.

I'm the one in the black jumper and big nose next to the bloke you're on about (if I'm present in the shot)

Think it was jobbers relative tbh. Definitely a city fan albeit carrying a fcukin selfie stick lol

Like seriously how does that help the players?

The guy behind me talks shite the whole match. He seems to enjoy himself more when we are struggling and he can trot out his pearls of wisdom. Example - on Saturday an early cross came in from the right and was too high for Vardy and Okazaki. In his 1MB size brain he thinks "we need Ulloa - he's taller". So after 9 minutes he is constantly telling his mate that Ranieri needs to get rid of Okazaki because he "is shit" and get Ulloa on.

When Ulloa does come on, he delights in telling everyone how he predicted that and then.. when Ulloa doesn't win his first header he is shouting "useless big tw@t".

FFS - find something else to do on a Saturday (or Sunday) afternoon if it bothers you that much!
