According to my quick research on the net all 20 clubs have goal music and 3 clubs have the same this season so either you can’t hear it or ours is super loud. On a second note our very own post horn gallop rolled in at 17th worst in the run out stakes

Thoughts?

20 PL clubs do not have goal music. Whatever your source is it's way off. 

 

I think it may actually only be us and Norwich?

Personally don't mind the goal music (as I like the song) and the clappers (cheaper than collecting programs) those aren't deal breakers for me renewing season ticket

 

Am astonished that they didn't pick up on how much better the atmosphere was for the rennes game

 

If people don't like it don't sit next to it

I used to like the song, I detest it now, and switch it off if ever I hear it. I just wish I could do the same in the stadium!

Why doesn’t everyone go dressed like they’ve been shag*ed by the club shop for a laugh?

 

Maybe you’ll appeal more to the powers that be? Jester hats, scarves, the lot 😂

I’ll have you know, it’s the best song in ages 

Not the glowing appraisal you probably think it is...

The singing section in the kop really needed to be in place when the stadium opened, although I suppose there wasn't really such a thing in name at the time I suppose.  Certainly growing up with filbert Street  we all knew where to go for the singing, but of course it was easier then, because it was standing, and no restrictions on where you go. To be honest when the new stadium opened  I assumed that sk 3 and sk2 would be where the singers would go, but I think the cheaper prices of that part of the ground attracted your everyday fan and so alot of the more vocal fans were split up. It was a shame 

The club purposely splintered the fan base. They knew some would stay in SK 1 and some would move next to the away fans in L1, all we ended up with were two watered down sections that have slowly over time given up. L1 is utterly shocking compared to how it was years back, it was about the only thing keeping atmosphere going.

Totally get that we can't just bowl in there and make demands with no justification. That's where the Fosse Boys fell down but plenty of lessons have been learnt. 

 

The booklet was proactive from UFS to outline the vision for a standing/singing area yes, it wasn't something ask for by the club. But it wasn't just "we want to stand up give us 5000 spots now", there were countless other benefits in there for the club. 

 

But unfortunately what we're pushing for is so massively against the grain of what the club want, that it's almost impossible to find middle ground. To use your selling analogy it's like trying to sell someone a sportscar when they want an articulated lorry. 

Do you have a copy would love a read?

I was so buzzing for this after the win in France. 

Tifo and a 600 section backing in a knockout game in a European competition, never really thought we would get to a stage where this was happening down at Leicester. Gutted and angry at the club.

To my knowledge it’s only Leicester, Norwich and Wolves that have goal music.

 

Even Watford don’t.

Totally agree mate, as I said earlier I'm seriously rethinking whether I want to continue attending games. Seems the club are hell-bent on screwing over UFS and all they try to do. The actual match experience is fast becoming a sideshow for me, and the worst part of a 12 hour day. I enjoy the time I spend with Tom, and the UFS lads, I even enjoy the drive up and back, but the actual game and the continued lack of cooperation from the club is a total turn-off. FFS, can't someone at the club actually realise what a crap experience attending a game really is? See you for PSV!

Nice of the club to be going the same way as Wolves, the club who for the last few years have basically been trying to turn their stadium into 90s TV show Gladiators. 

 

Next up clappers replaced by foam fingers and a full-on, loudspeaker rendition of "Another One Bites The Dust" after every opposition player hits the deck.

Thoughts?

....in this age with social media as it is, The Post Horn Gallop, would be the last thing that you would use in that instance!!!

Below is an exert from an article from the web:.

Since this book looks at the historical soul of each club we like to think that this chapter cannot be complete without the Post Horn Gallop. For decades the Foxes have run onto the pitch to the emotive strains of the Post Horn Gallop. The tune, now recorded by the Band of Royal Marines, was originally used to herald the arrival of mail coaches in the 19th century. It would be played as the horse drawn coaches travelled across the county warning passers-by of the approaching vehicle. The tune dates back at Filbert Street to at least the 1930s when a lone man stood at the tunnel dressed in a blue and white flock coat with a top hat to match. It was suggested a few years ago that the Foxes should replace the sound of the lone bugle with something a bit louder, brasher and up-to-date but there was an immediate backlash from the majority of the Filbert Street faithful. Of all clubs Leicester City has the oldest and most traditional entrance tune. No longer at Filbert Street, but at the magnificent new Walkers Stadium, just a few hundred yards from the old ground.

  Tigers run out to "smoke on the water", a pretty good tune and gets you up for the game, once a tradition is in place it is sacrilege to attempt to displace it.

[Spudulike]

Removing the Gallop would herald the collapse of the club. Bit like the Ravens at the Tower.

Give me foam fingers over clappers any day.

Obviously you were too young or can’t remember the blow up animal phase that swept the country. All generations are different just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it was wrong just fun in that space of time 

[mazarron fox]

My 7 year old grandson from Nottingham who thankfully is a third generation city fan went to his first game against Brentford and loved the day and especially smacking his clapper as hard as he could. Sometimes it’s not all about what we want but what future fans want

The clappers are good for those that want them, like your grandson or the kid who was sat next to me was loving it as well, but they can be smarter in making it so you pick them up in the concourse rather than on every seat because plenty of people (myself included) just chuck them under their seat

Pretty sure Spurs used to have Sandstorm by Darude but that might have been only during lockdown. Do Bayern still use the can-can?

[Permafrost]

I do use my clapper to tear up, rip up and generally fidget with to help get me through the last ten minutes of our home games, when we are inevitably hanging on (or failing to).

Yeah... because he's seven. I severely doubt when he gets to 19 and goes with his mates he'll be going "hold on lads, we can't start this chant until I've got my trusty clapper."

 

Your point completely proves exactly what people are saying on here. It's designed and manufactured to cater to families, so kids can say "I've had a great day out dad, take me again and oh, by the way, Harvey Barnes is my favourite player so one replica shirt with his name on the back please."

 

It's not a go at you necessarily, but you're perfectly encapsulating what they want. It highlights the lack of interest in anything mainstream fans desire because we're set. We'll moan about the clappers, atmosphere being terrible and the catering being crap. But do you know what? We're still at 99.7% attendance or whatever, the catering company are still happy with the takings because football fans are creatures of habit, and they're hooked. They'll come through the turnstiles. They absolutely do not care about disengaging so many supporters because the vast majority of us can't let go. We can't not walk through those turnstiles with our friends, or to continue our lifelong tradition.

 

Someone said it early on in this thread, when the club needs UFS for a singing section, they come calling. When do they come calling? When they know they won't shift all the tickets. "Oh we need you now lads, off you with your singing section. Be good now."
