But a pink shirt or pink socks is OK? Or is even that too camp for you? :mellow:

Just realised it didn’t come across right, I was replying to the last bit From Stan but I forgot to put it in bold 

 

It's a fvcking cap ffs lol 

 

I own this seasons pink shirt, I haven’t got a problem with the pink cap in fact I would actually like one but unfortunately I’m not actually able to go to the Chelsea game

It’s nothing to do with the colour - the link is clear, we are playing in Pink. When have you seen an away support decked out in trucker caps ? 

 

Scarves, flags, shirts - yeah that’s all stuff you’d associate with active football support. 

 

Answer me what would you think if Wolves had their away end decked out in trucker hats tomorrow? 

 

This whole scenario reminds me of Huddersfield and Paddy Power think a little bit. A complete own goal because everyone else thinks you are a laughing stock 

I couldn’t care less I don’t go to the football to see what the away fans are doing or wearing, I’m only interested in what’s happening on the pitch

What attracted you to football in the first place? 

 

As a kid growing up for me, it was the atmosphere, the colours, the buzz. There was a time where we were so shite on the pitch growing up; the most enjoyable part was that buzz of a matchday. A significant of football is that fan culture - we’ve been at games, Leicester or not, where we’ve been impressed by the support fans provide - Christ we had it for 18 months at the King power before we went awol. 

 

I am going to stop going around in circles on this one but if we have over half of our away end wearing them next week, we will be the laughing stock of the league on social media.

 

Another sign of our away ends and atmospheres totally draining away into a version of Reading’s support

Fair enough, but there’s very little respect amongst opposing football fans in England. They spend most of their time slagging each other off. Best not to worry what other people think in my opinion. 

We had journalists, opposition fans and even opposition players praising our atmosphere for a spell at end of 2015 to 2017.

These pink caps are like Brexit. Does this really have to be 100% one way or the other?

As far I can remember I’ve always loved football I suppose like most kids I played football basically anywhere I could, I was only interested in playing games when I was younger if it included a football, football golf, football tennis, me and a few mates even built wooden goal posts that we concreted into the ground on the local park much to the councils annoyance

i never attended games as both my parents are non-sporty

my first game was when we played Blackburn at filbert st in the fog mid 90’s I was 12 at the time when my arsenal supporting uncle took me to the game 

then at 17 I bust my knee and was forced to stop playing, I then got a job at lcfc which I stopped doing at the end of the playoff season where knockert missed the penalty, I have been a season ticket holder ever since

If so, Why does this even matter? It will be forgotten about the next day

I want my club to be respected by opposition fans for our support and that translates into me being equally proud of it, so just as when we went Atleti and went ‘wow, that’s some noise or display of support’. I want us to have the same impact like we did at say Bruges and Copenhagen mostly decked out in blue/white 

 

 

@jammie82uk

 

Long answer - I don’t want to see this club’s emphasis on support to become about freebies, I want to be about how much of noise and atmosphere we can create. People will say it’s a hat - I see it as a symbolic erosion of organic, independent support into something more marketed and cleansed form of football supporting which simply isn’t me. 

 

The fact you’ve worked for the club over a significant period time - makes perfect sense on your opinion (not that this is a slur in anyway) and gives me a greater understanding of your position. 

 

If you think it will end the day after, I think you are wrong - I only look at how the picture of the granny ripping open the tifo has reappeared going viral this weekend, months later

That’s a good point and very true, but I think we’re more likely to lose that reputation with increasing silence and booing our substitutes on than we are being gifted a cap away at Chelsea.

You seem to be getting very wound up over a pink hat, if you don’t like it don’t wear one if you’re going to SB, but judging by how many grown men I saw yesterday sporting that away top I’d guess quite a few will wear the free head furniture.

 

Can someone come up with a little chant to Cardiff Fox with pink hat in it by Sunday? :)

 

Oh and that granny popping through the tifo, come on it raised a smile, besides she does every away day and I reckon she will be wearing you know what. Oh but wait, she isn’t a 17 year old yoof who’s had one Koppenberg and is smartly dressed in stone islands latest clobber, she doesn’t deserve an away ticket, how dare she.

 

Chill a bit, let folks do what they want to and you carry on doing your thing.

Don't know what game you were at Cardiff, but the Copenhagen fans had our pants down in that away game. That end behind the goal was packed and loud as hell for over an hour before kick off. We on the other hand were pretty poor.

 

Admittedly our support at the Bruges away game was unreal and the best away end I've been in but Copenhagen wasn't even close in my opinion. 

 

Anyway back to the topic. Not sure what the issue is with these caps. No ones being forced to wear them, if you don't like it just leave it on the seat. Also just because they're provided at the game why are people presuming that the expectation from the club is that everyone where's it during the game?!? Can't the club give you something for you to take away and wear at your leisure?

You're dead right. 

I was in the Copenhagen end behind the goal and they made a right noise. 

Never saw the teams come out as they put a massive banner out in front of us. 

 

Leicester end looked flat and everyone standing in the middle bit so it looked 2/3 rds full

 

Brugges was brilliant, cheaper beer, great weather and friendly locals. 

 

Pity I couldn't get in and had to watch it in a fan park next to the ground😒

I can see the argument from both sides but I guess it comes down to different things excite different people at football matches.

 

Some people like to sit down, with their clapper, and pink hat, and have a nice family day out. Others like to stand up throughout, and feel the concourse rocking under their feet with the smell of booze and old spice and the distant smell of cigarette smoke from some ruffian who's secretly sparked up a fag.

 

Right now? I love being in a rowdy away end with goose bumps from the atmosphere.

 

When I have kids? I'll likely be sat there with my clapper and pink hat, as far away from what I currently love as possible.

 

It's each to their own but I do get the impression we will be the laughing stock with these hats, just like we are to a degree with the clappers and total inability to use hands that most of us were gifted with at birth.

I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing our away end, in a weird way. It's going to be hideous.

I'm with you. Our away ends are so ****ing appalling most of the time these days anyway but the level of piss we'll get ripped out of us on Sunday and beyond is going to be golden. 

 

Frankly it's better to be talked about than not at all so just lap up the bantz and laugh along with it.

Although I'm not overly keen, I've always thought how good the Dutch fans look in their end, dressed in orange. 

 

Pink though, I'm not so sure😄

Orange is their storied and traditional colour, they wear shirts to represent that. Pink isn’t a colour associated with us besides one away kit and the caps are a complete gimmick.

Hopefully it'll be like at Fulham last year when they tried to give us all an inflatable clap stick thing and nobody used it.

 

I won't be wearing my hat, but I'll probably keep it and give it to my wife.

The story behind the Orange is fascinating and deeply tied into Dutch history/culture.

Yeah, was more a point on our behalf of the display but the atmosphere from the Copenhagen fans illustrates my point. Brilliant show of support which Europe appreciating it.
