I appreciate what the club does in terms of trying to create a better atmosphere, but the UFS tifos are on another scale compared to anything the clubs ever done, in my opinion! Not that i'm a spokesman or a member as such, but am on reasonable terms with a few of them. They don't want funding from the club as I understand it, as that leads to the club wanting an input on designs etc. They want it to be there work etc, and I admire them for that.

Yeah I can totally understand that. Maybe UFS could just give the club a hand in terms of designing & ideas then. I'd imagine they have enough to do already though! Shame as the club could definitely benefit from their creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead to believe club have pulled rank and ufs have decided not to compete from people I was talking to in brugge. Hope this isn't true. I'm no expert but surely fan displays derive their significance from the fact they are designed by, erm...the fans. As soon as the club start doing them, it just becomes a brand promotion/marketing exercise and loses its meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndWhat? Posted 21 September 2016 Share Posted 21 September 2016 Nice club funded display for Porto then So frustrating. Must be the only ****ing club in the world who are stopping an active fan group from doing displays to do their own organised by the marketing department. Don't know why we ****ing bother.

Harry - LCFC Posted 21 September 2016 Share Posted 21 September 2016 Really disappointing. Club displays just aren't the same because the people who organise them aren't anywhere near as passionate and don't understand the game like the fans do.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 21 September 2016 Share Posted 21 September 2016 Just hope there's no hashtags in this club funded one v Porto. UFS are, and have been successful in doing them because they are unique and original designs, with my favourite being Sunderland (H) 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are huge Leicester fans working for the club, it's just the fact that they'll be restricted by the marketing/comms department at the club. Real shame.

Oh, sorry didn't mean to call you a liar I knew you were part of UFS and the last post was from you saying it was UFS then everyone started moaning about the club with no new input I could see. So UFS were planning one and the club said no we will do it. Any reason? Have some of the complaints from the last one got back to the club, or do they want to do a full ground display? When you do them do the club have to approve the design before they give permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 23 September 2016 Share Posted 23 September 2016 If the club are organising a display then perhaps they should think about doing it in the Family/North/Lineker Stand (whatever it's called) so those of us in the Kop can see it from our end rather than having to wait for after match photo's as usual. Would also look better on the camera angles of having that as the backdrop when the players do the pre-match handshakes. Make a nice change.

Larry_LCFC Posted 23 September 2016 Share Posted 23 September 2016 The only decent one the club every pulled off was the poppy. The others have just been boring stripes or something insignificant. UFS ones look better, and mean more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 23 September 2016 Share Posted 23 September 2016 If the club do do a Tifo, I'd rather have plain like previous times (FOXES v Palace) as opposed to something with a hashtag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 23 September 2016 Share Posted 23 September 2016 The clubs poppy one was very good but I haven't got a clue why they've come in on this one when it was agreed that UFS were doing it. I'm not sure what the motive would be behind that. They've got people willing to put the money and hours into sorting it themselves (and with that comes a bit more credibility too), why would they over-rule that? Just doesn't make a jot of sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
