UFS tried to get the Kop going but it wasn't really spreading for some reason. One thing that seems to be obvious is that some songs just don't catch on but UFS continue to try and sing them. Whether you like it or not, the high tempo songs such as 'everywhere we go' spread much more than some of the boring ones such as 'people talk of  Liverpool'. Some don't know the words but UFS seem to continue to sing them which doesn't help such as 'we're on our way,,,' it does seem as though they don't really understand or refuse to acknowledge the dynamics of the kop. 

 

This is isn't an anti UFS post as they have done a great job the past few seasons. Just an annoyance that me and some mates have all picked up on.

It's a double edged sword really. How do new songs even take off if they don't try and start them? Think the problem on Tuesday was people in general just weren't up for it. Your more generic type tunes 'Ranieri's Blue Army' weren't even catching on, and I know the group try and keep the songbook as varied as they can to try and get the whole stand and end going.

 

I'd contend that 'Some folks talk of Liverpool' and 'We're on our way' haven't caught on too, both were sung by the whole end at Bruges away - the former for a long time and loud enough to be heard clearly on the TV. Like I say, Tuesday was more an apathy problem than anything else. Folks just weren't bothered by and large.

The general songs everybody join in with. "Stand up for the Champions" good grief man. I hear the odd one from the UFS which a few of us where I sit in SK2 join in which but the majority wait for the general. "Stand up for xxxx" and "Leicester boys making all the noise".... "Leicester boys are we" is a favourite of mine which is brilliant when everybody sings it.

 

Our end at Bruges was superb and probably won't be beaten. Even at Chelsea on Saturday we were 'inconsistent'. There was one where "When you're smiling" was brilliant and hasn't been the same since. Might have been at Hull that.

Just out of interest mate, what songs do you like singing most?

It was Hull where WYS was belted out by what seemed the whole end. Why that is not the case every game I will never know and will always be disappointed at.

swings and roundabouts though isn't it, if they (or anyone) didn't persist with a new song then how would anyone ever know the words? gotta start somewhere. otherwise we'd just have one song and it'd be lesta lesta lestaaaa cos it's then only one people would know the words to. 



Yup exactly. I really enjoy having a repertoire of songs we can go through...keeps it bouncing. On a side note, I love 'some folk talk of'!

That's a great song from the line '...now I've got a feeling and it's so sweet...' not so sure about the opening two lines.

 

Really like the Riyad Mahrez song :thumbup:

From a FCK fan:

 

Good trip to Leicester, but very typical English experience at the stadium. Tifo disallowed only one hour before the game before being allowed anyways in the last minute. Massive security at the entrance due to terror i guess, with bomb dogs in the entrance and no drums or bigger flags allowed plus megaphone had to be smuggled in. Despite this good atmosphere from both sides I think.

We're on our way, we're on our way

To the Champions League, we're on our way

How did we get there? I don't know

How did we get there Claudio

All I know is Leicester's on their way

3. How do we get there I dont know

4. Follow the lads (boys?) and Claudio

 

Best song by a mile, learn it and sing it, thought it got going really well today
