You know it's bad when you're in the singing section but you cant sing along because you cant hear the current song. Not a knock on the rows that are trying to lead the singing by the way, more of a knock on the rows between us.

I don't know if this is the right area for posting but - has anyone else noticed a gigantic influx of foreign fans recently? 

 

There has been a decided uptick recently. Today we had a French 'fan' who attended next to us for only half the game. He was over collecting Premier League grounds, I guess, and saw enough in the forty five minutes to collect it. 

 

There are lots of Asian fans taking an interest, too.

 

I've no problem with this at all but I've got to question how they're getting tickets. For some members of my family it's a real mission getting a ticket and the membership scheme makes it even more costly. How are fans from abroad getting the priority points to make visits viable. 

 

The club, surely, aren't putting overseas visitors priority over it's own members is it?

This really isn’t just a Leicester problem. It’s a general problem in English football currently. I can’t think of anywhere that has a decent atmosphere. Palace had their period, Arsenal too, Liverpool rarely, but it generally is poor everywhere. It’s all to do with pricing and (in my personal opinion) a reflection of the societal apathy that we currently have in this country.

There’s an organisation called P1 tickets where you can get tickets for our games without having to have a membership. I can’t see that the club have ever promoted it but I’ve got tickets for several games at European stadiums (Inter and Frankfurt) where you can basically jump the queue and it’s all legit.

thought i heard someone say Fulham were charging £140 for their game today(in some areas)

some clubs prefer football tourists

I do agree it’s an English football problem but it’s particularly bad at Leicester in my opinion. Honestly, it’s like no ****er cares.

There was one loud moment when a ball boy fell over. 

 

Perhaps he could do it for every game

Perhaps an inadvertent side effect of 2016

The game has also been cleansed so much. A late tackle or filthy lunge used to get the crowd off their feet. Those moments are pretty much gone now which is why more people need to get involved with the likes of @Union FS !

As long as they pay for an international membership or standard membership, that should do it to get immediate access to tickets without needing to collect any priority points, as most/all games haven't sold out to priority. Also could be bought via "STH guest" without a membership.

Absolutely, no excuse for the place to not be absolutely bouncing tomorrow. 
 

Huge match, let’s match it with a huge effort from the stands.

If ever there was a case study for the shite served up on the pitch translating to the atmosphere in the stands, it was today.

 

There was absolutely nothing to bounce about.

 

It even looked hard work for UFS who seemed as dejected and fed up as the rest of us.

Highlight of the atmosphere today was us finally getting a Rudkin out chant. If our fans really want change it shouldn’t take being 3-0 down to 19th in the league for a hundred or so fans to sing about wanting him out. If he’s going to go it needs to be as much of a tradition to sing about it as us starting the match with Leicester boys are we

Finding the holier than thou social media posts about chants etc ****ing boring. I didnt necessarily agree but I question what it would take to get many actually doing something. 
 

Our fanbase is paralysed largely by apathy

It’s completely passionless. Even before the game, it was so flat. I just don’t get why people are going if they don’t care enough. It’s not cheap; it’s all just too nice and I’m fed up with it.

Wonder how it compared against Wolves equivalent when we beat them 0-4 in 2022. Probably nothing close. No surprise then that they'll be in the Premier League again next season and we won't. You generally get what you deserve in football.
