kyleolly Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 To be fair the Leicester City stadium was decent on champions league nights
Nicolo Barella Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 Tbf these guys are away (I think?) in a CL knockout round, if anyone who went wasn't pumped (even milder and older people) what's the point in supporting a football club.

st albans fox Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 On Sunday afternoon as the boys walked out we managed a pretty pathetic ‘lestur, lestur,lestur,lestur’ for fifteen seconds .... I commented to my son that at the king power, all the decent teams have a good loud song for their teams when they come out. I have already commented about the KP atmosphere and been told it’s to do with the performance of the team. Away from home I was to say the least, disappointed.
yorkie1999 Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 To be fair, they do know how to organise their singing.

Might help if the club actually had a song that everyone wanted to sing.
coolhandfox Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 Always impressed with Man U away fans singing when they visit the KP. Only thing I can't stand is the "you only came to watch united" chant.

Don’t think it helped that lots of people weren’t ‘allowed’ to stand. Wembley is the only ground I’ve been to where the stewards actually bother to enforce no standing. Anyone in our block who was stood more than two minutes was met by at steward telling them to sit down!
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 To be fair I actually quite enjoy a prawn sandwich for afternoon tea, but never on a match day, that’s bacon sandwiches only.

Brainy Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 Why don't you just let supporters watch how they want to? Why and how does it affect you?
ajthefox Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 If only there were more condescending threads and twitter warriors telling me how to support my football club, then I wouldn't be so confused about what to do when I'm at a game.

Our away fans (some tend to sit down) are similar to Burnley, Swansea or a hull (not sure if I’ve missed any out but those tend to have groups of people sitting down at the Kp). Eg some tend to sit down as a preference rather than being told to do so. Notning wrong with sitting down but I can see how it may spoil the experience of going away from home for some.

I remember going 1-0 up away at Arsenal in the title winning season and 3pts there would have probably made us odds on as we had an easy run in after that so that goal was massive. Half the fans went nuts, the other half got their phones out to film it. Absolutely pathetic.

On our day we can be decent, and hold our own for a club of our stature. Saying that, we do seem to have got quieter in the past few years, though.

Our away support is better than those clubs listed. We do take numbers (even if some do need to go to general to sell out), the issue is noise.
Craig Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 There were certainly a lot of tourists in our end (particularly that block which was mainly general sale) on Sunday. The final straw, after the stewards had walked up and down the aisle and most had quickly sat down, was when a group waltzed in on 25 minutes with popcorn (wtf!?) and started complaining about those remaining standing as they couldn't see. I doubt they even supported us, or even really cared given the amount of time they spent on their phones. Had to move for the second half as it was so pathetic over there in the first. Sad.
whoareyaaa Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 Surely that tweet suggest there current atmosphere isn't exactly that great anyway?

kyleolly Posted 12 February 2019 Posted 12 February 2019 Most the noise seems to be coming from the PSG fans!

I don’t mind either, if I’m at the front then there’s not always a reason to stand, if the person in front stands then you stand up, or pay £30 to stare at someone’s back for 90minutes (not blessed with being tall!). There’s definitely a variety of age groups on the road - I wouldn’t expect a child or older person to stand for 90mins/at all. I just thought it wasn’t needed for the stewards to be so hot on it. Understand it, but it’s commonplace at every other ground, why is Wembley any different! Sunday lunchtime games seem to be sluggish noise wise for some reason. The stadium being half empty doesn’t help either
