Charl91 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Come on boys and girls if we are going to have a # for us what should it be, we can vote on it then spam it on Twitter until the club takes it up. If you hate #fearless then come up with something better and use it. #2fast2fearless Let's get this going, people.
lifted*fox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Some of the posts in this thread are absolutely disgraceful. Couldn't even get past page 2 before I needed to comment. The club have never, ever cared about the atmosphere, and are only pretending to now because what Union FS have done has become so popular. The fans have never needed any help, (unless of course, they're going to back safe standing. Have they done that yet since 95% of fans have voted in it's favour? No, because they don't care about the atmosphere). Mainly, they just need the co-operation of the club to let them do what they want. The claims from some that the club are the ones that have instigated the improvement in the atmosphere is absolutely stupid and pretty disrespectful to those who have put the real effort in. Nobody claims that the club have instigated anything to do with atmosphere but they have been supportive of UnionFS and have worked with them to allow them to do the things they are currently doing. Members of UnionFS will tell you this themselves. It's a two-way thing. If you look back a few years ago the club were completely against creating any sort of atmosphere. To completely deny any involvement from them is pretty ****ing stupid tbh.
Fox92 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Good idea. Not a massive fan of the flag itself, and I can remember when we last had one circa 05/06/07 time, but I'll join in.

You'd have to be being quite silly to deny the effectiveness of the clappers and the club did that entirely off their own back. It's a bit harsh to say the current administration doesn't care about the atmosphere when we're one of the few clubs who have taken a proactive step to improve it in recent years. Also as the other poster said it wasn't long ago that the likes of union fs would have been ignored and even intentionally quietened down, now at least the club are happy for them to do their work.
Kitchandro Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 How about you stump up a couple of hundred million, you can then put anything you want on your flag. #superfan This is probably the worst comment of the lot. 1. We didn't need 2 million to fund a much better display. We needed purely donations from fellow fans. There are tons of flags up in the Kop, there was a giant 'When You're Smiling' one a while ago. 2. I'm sure if the fans were as a rich as the Thais we'd put as much money into the club as they have. 3. The fans put hundreds, possibly thousands into the club every year. I'm sure it's a higher percentage of their income than what the owners put in and with no chance of a financial return on their investment. 4. Just because they can do what they like, doesn't mean they should. 5. If they actually, truly cared anything about the fans whatsoever they would simply have not put their logo on the flag.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Not sure what's worse, the flag or the fact that more than a handful of fully grown men are using the word "cringe"
filbertfoxy00 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Any right thinking kopites will get their sh*t together and just roll that rag up and tuck it under the seats. Why be happy to paying £30 or whatever it costs to sit in the kop for them use you as a human advertising board? We are Leicester City supporters not some kind of cheap minimum wage advertising sap who will dance to the King Power tune at the wave of the hand of some passing through Leicester City 'fan' to use as he sees fit.
Guest MattP Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Most of our fans will dance to the tune of what the club tell them too, have no doubt about that.
lifted*fox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 5. If they actually, truly cared anything about the fans whatsoever they would simply have not put their logo on the flag. Are you a director? Do you run your own business? If you do, good luck. If you don't, when you do - try making EVERY single decision based purely in favour or what your customers want, with total disregard for the running of your own company and it's own aspirations and then come back on here and let us all know how that company is doing.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 The usual miseries are out in force, moaning about anything and everything. Some of you must live really miserable, negative lives. Fook sake.

Members of UnionFS will tell you this themselves. It's a two-way thing. If you look back a few years ago the club were completely against creating any sort of atmosphere. To completely deny any involvement from them is pretty ****ing stupid tbh. Well, you have, for one. 'You'll do ****ing well to remember what the atmosphere was like before the club started getting on board with it.' You'll do ****ing well to remember the club getting on board with it before Union FS transformed it. The club have co-operated somewhat now but let's not kid ourselves by making out it's become better because of them. You'd have to be being quite silly to deny the effectiveness of the clappers and the club did that entirely off their own back. It's a bit harsh to say the current administration doesn't care about the atmosphere when we're one of the few clubs who have taken a proactive step to improve it in recent years. Also as the other poster said it wasn't long ago that the likes of union fs would have been ignored and even intentionally quietened down, now at least the club are happy for them to do their work. See above. Even the clappers, which I won't deny have helped the atmosphere, are controversial (well, embarrassing, to an extent) and were only introduced long after Union FS had made a difference. They're jumping on the bandwagon, they're only 'encouraging' the atmosphere now because real fans have shown them how great it can be. Now they're just using the atmosphere to promote their brand. Get people talking about the KING POWER stadium. Get their great KING POWER flags on camera. If it was really about the atmosphere their logo would never be on that flag, it's as simple as that. But, we should be grateful, why? Because they're not kicking fans out who are trying to create an atmosphere, like they were doing 4 or 5 years ago? They shouldn't be getting any credit for that, that's the bare minimum they should be doing at £30+ a ticket.
lifted*fox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Well, you have, for one. 'You'll do ****ing well to remember what the atmosphere was like before the club started getting on board with it.' No, let me make this clear - UnionFS put together a decent plan to improve the atmosphere and took it to the club to present it. The club agreed to work alongside them. The atmosphere before that was dog-shit. Previous attempts by The Fosse Boys were scuppered by naysayers at the club. My comment 'You'll do ****ing well to remember what the atmosphere was like before the club started getting on board with it' is completely valid. The club deserve credit for allowing UnionFS to work in their own unique way. If you can't give them that then there's no point in discussing it with you because you're wrong, basically. Since UnionFS convinced the club that creating an atmosphere can be safe and productive to the game and the club 'got on board with it' things have massively improved. If they then want to make a shitty flag and float it over the kop for 2 minutes, who ****ing cares? They've been a ****-load more positive than any other owners previously, so cut them some slack maybe?

They shouldn't be getting any credit for that, that's the bare minimum they should be doing at £30+ a ticket. Union fs had nothing to do with the clappers. They've done a couple of brilliant tifos, but they're not wholly responsible for the improvement in the atmosphere. Nobody is saying the club have done anything amazing, but they've done nothing to deserve this ridiculous criticism either. Some of you really are rebels without a cause. There are some genuinely important battles out there in the world that you could choose to take a part in and make a real difference in the world. Instead you sit around criticising the club you're supposed to support because you don't like a flag. Get a grip.

Moronic post. Hardly like they're going to go skint overnight if they don't put their logo on a flag that's supposed to be about the football club is it? The 'company''s aspiration is to be a great football club. If the owners are using it as a marketing tool, that's of no interest to me. Just because they own the club, it does not give them the right to disrespect us or to make us look stupid without criticism. I think are people are actually forgetting that first and foremost, this is a football club. Not their business. I'll be damned if I'm going to let them or anyone else forget that.
Weller in Tights Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 I'm embarrassed, Why are you embarrassed? Don't understand myself. Personally in an ideal world I would like No drum, everyone to stand and sing/chant the old songs/chants at the correct pace. However, if the: Drum clappers Poznan TIFO UnionFS fans flags generic chants club flags and whatever else you want to add, Well if they raise the atmosphere a bit, I'm all for them. If other teams fans think we're tinpot then **** 'em, the players have already made it clear that they love the atmosphere that has been created. Why should you be bothered let alone embarrassed. So the Neanderthals of Leeds/ Millwall/ Sheffield Weds might think we're tinpot, so what ? I'm sure some of you will see the list above and pick out certain things you agree with and certain things you don't want. The thing is everyone has different opinions and you'll never satisfy everyone. Stop moaning, you're all spoiling my optimistic, happy mood. Come on City beat the Spurs Scum (I hate Spurs) and folks you do what you choose to do tomorrow to raise the atmosphere.
Larry_LCFC Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 We have to give the club some credit for this - the principle and idea of it is very good and Im glad they have taken their initiative to do it. However, they are seriously misguided with the content of it. #FEARLESS is irrelevant to us. It is meaningless. There are a million things that would have looked better. Leicester Legends, a fox, a picture of bloody Filbert Street - just about anything that is unique to us. What are they trying to achieve with this pointless Twitter shit?

They've been a ****-load more positive than any other owners previously, so cut them some slack maybe? No, they don't deserve credit for doing the bare minimum. The fact that they tried to crush the atmosphere for so long is disgusting. They should be expected to let the fans do what they like. And they shouldn't get credit just for being better than some of our dreadful previous owners either. That's like saying we should give credit to Neil Danns because he was better than Junior Lewis. I will give them credit for individual things that I think they've done well - such as sticking with Pearson when most would have sacked him (though they then sacked him when most would have kept him). For investing in the squad. For the pitch, which looks fantastic. But a lot of other things that are important they deserve criticism for. This is one of them. Not backing safe standing when 17 out of 19 other top flight clubs did (thee only others were the Liverpool clubs, go figure).

GaelicFox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Just checking, but you realise I'm in support of the club and my comments are tongue-in-cheek digs at the people who don't understand that our club is also someone's business, right? Yes buddy 100% sorry I wasn't moaning at you but agreeing with your post
filbertfoxy00 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 I see the club patsy is out criticising anyone who dares to have an opinion that differs to the clubs and his own. Watch your backs lads...he's got form!
lifted*fox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Yes buddy 100% sorry I wasn't moaning at you but agreeing with your post safeeeee.
