Stadium atmosphere

Genuine question... What are the demographics they dont want?  My own assumption is that it can only be "rowdy" guys in 20s, who go in groups,  from working class areas (who traditionally generated atmosphere at the ground) and young people who are not flush with disposable cash ? 

A random picture from York City popped up on my Facebook feed . I'd imagine the is the demographic that the club actively seek to avoid 🙄

Banning a particular demographic because they are more likely to speak out against the club and try to scare people into being silent is proper Thailand stuff. 

Fixed it for you 👀

They look like yobbos / oiks - hardly the potential life blood of the club

I've been given a year ban for something they admit themselves they can't even prove I did (which I didn't do). Just for some context I had over 700 points - all gone because my face doesn't fit for whatever reason. If they're willing to do it to someone with my sort of loyalty points score I don't really know who they won't go for, to be honest.

Bloody hell! I would contact your Local MP, citizens advice, the mercury, all the other national media outlets, these well-networked football social media pages etc with a full email of the timeline of events and the response from LCFC. Send the template email to all parties. Surely some smoking bombs in there to cause a stir in your story.

If you get a positive response, figure out a cost of damages and lodge a small claims court summons. 

Power to the people brother. Don't get pushed around like all the other 'games gone mate its gone' simps, fight!!!

And they're doing a great job.

 

Its quite astonishing how things have changed.

 

Average fan in the stretford end in the 60's was 17.  By the 2000's it was 40+.

 

Compare this to the likes of germany.  Most supporter groups have a senior membership, which you have to go in if you're 35+...thats right 35+.  Supporter groups that have rep at board level make sure no more than 50% of season tickets get sold, because it will cause an older fan base in the future. Thats why the average fan in the supporter clubs is 20 in germany.

 

I don't think the premier leage now publish the average age (i wonder why) but it was 42 a decade ago, doubt its gone down any.

There does seem to be quite a few who are discussing packing it in, me included. The atmosphere was always 50% of the attraction for me, but for many reasons it's at an all time low.

 

I'm all for a younger generation taking it on, and they may get their wish especially if we are relegated, the club will be forced to rethink their pricing and general attitude towards the fanbase. They'll need to bring new people in.

Honestly the more we read and hear about how they run the club, the more I fall out of love with it 

I have gotten to the point where I hate spending anything on the club outside of tickets to the games. I never spend money in the concourse or club shop, I now have such a hatred towards the club for these sort of things like banning a fan for a year for something he didn’t do. Ran by a bunch of clowns and it’s a cliche now but vichai would be furious if he saw what we’ve come to 

[Lako42]

Season tickets won't be the treasure they have been seen as when we get relegated this time. 

 

The more I think about it the more I think ditching it would be quite a liberating feeling. 

 

I can't quite describe what I mean but the holding of a season ticket feels anything but positive for some reason. 

 

**** em

Anicdotely I know a good 10-15 that would pack it in if/when we go down again

 

All renewed last time in 2023

[Blue-fox]

Well the last few pages have been a depressing read. Sad times when the club seem to be so detached from the fan base that’s been there years. 

[Thefox81]

The clubs been dying a slow death since we lost Vichai. Its just now more noticable to a larger portion of the fans. The wasted money, signings, contracts, jobs for the boys who arent qualified or experienced in what they have been asked to do. Not sure on the answer as were to placid to do anything. Remenbrer the gang of four protests at the end of games outside the Carling stand. There flashpoints all was 200-300 making thrmselves heard with how tclub is/isnt doin

They no longer want the fans they begged for when they took over. 

 

Now they want tourists - preferably one time only - who want the English football package. 

 

For some reason they don't understand that nobody will want to see this shit in the bottom half of the Championship.

It's sadly what's happening throughout the Premier League nowadays. Top flight football will eat itself before it treats the fans with any sort of reverence or respect.

I know what you mean - Like you're being held prisoner. 

 

Note - My tongue was firmly in cheek with regard to the oiks above - We really should be looking to attract all young people to the stadium as well as every community in our great city

And then price them out if we go up.

People have been saying this for 20 years yet all signs are its never been healthier.

Probably not for a club ban as FOI applies to public bodies, not private entities. 

Yeah, wasn't sure if this is one of those grey areas as I believe if the data is available to share with a public service it falls under FOI (don't quote me on that as I'm no data governance expert). I had assumed that as what is being alleged is technically a criminal offence that said data should in theory be available to the Police therefore making this readily available even though it is a private entity. If not, maybe worth looking down the GDPR route.

I would say that the 'evidence' provided would get laughed out of a court, and in all probability Dan wouldn't even be arrested - let alone charged or convicted. 

 

Unfortunately, football clubs are like pubs and shops in the sense that they can bar you for any reason other than a protected characteristic. 

 

The good news that a ban given by Leicester City under these circumstances should only apply to Leicester City as it is a civil rather than criminal matter. If he wanted to go to Villa today for some bizarre reason, then sharing his personal data with them to try and influence their decision whether to avail himself of their facilities could be a breach of GDPR on the part of the data controller at LCFC.

Decent when we started the Jamie vardys having January and the goal.

1st half was horrendous though from both sets of fans.

 

Football is SO sterile now.

I dont think they sang yippy ha eh yippy ah oh holte enders in the sky until they were winning 2-1

[CosbehFox]

We ain’t half got some disrespectful arseholes who supports. I’ll happily defend any Leicester fan but some of the behaviour I’ve seen today is exactly what gives the club all the opportunity to do ID tickets and why safe standing is a no go. 
 

Show some respect to fellow supporters and general members of the public

Example?

 

I had a lovely lad sat next to me who I spoke to( sits atop of sk2)

 

Some deadhead kunckledraggers though in our fanbase but I suppose all have them.
