Stadium atmosphere

I think the clapping can only be a deliberate wind up ploy now. No other explanation.

Sadly not, but even if it was it's pretty pathetic,

Agree with the above, it was maybe the worst I've experienced. Almost total silence at times, although the stadium doesn't help I guess.

Stadium is woeful. Feel so detached from the game. It was quiet, but most people around me were resigned to our fate.

[SemperEadem]

Tough personal one for me is my 6 year old seems to be really quite getting into Leicester. The pendulum has swung from Blades to us.

Had him with me at the Fulham game and when it got nasty I should have taken him out.

He keeps asking when he can come again but with UFS lot getting spat on in the ground and started on in the smoking area plus the general angry mess around the place I don’t think I can this season.

[RonnieTodger]

Just so unenjoyable isn’t it? Not just because we’re shit either.

 

Our home and away ends are just awash with NPC space cadets. 

[Guest Lako42]

Our fans are one of the reasons not to go. 

[Sir Steve Howard]

The worst thing about the dreadful atmosphere is that it's a vicious cycle.

Fans who actually make some noise at games are becoming disillusioned and turning their backs on going as it's no longer enjoyable. I am very much part of this group.

What remains are the BMA and NPCs who think they're 'proper fans' because they go to every game and sit in silence, then clap them off after we've lost 7-0.

Honestly don't see a way out of this. Feel bad for the younger generation who are getting into football.

Add to this the move to fully digital tickets, Spurs using facial recognition for entry (?!?!?!?!?!?!?). The game is so far gone.

I'm letting it go. 

 

Farewell beautiful game

Had to be an all time low yesterday when the "drummer" in L1 was "drumming" to Man U songs.

 

It was literally horrendous yesterday.

Yep- sums it up, a banner made by a kid in paint(No disrespect to whoever did it)

No Rudkin out chants, no sack the board, no you dont know what your doing etc..

 

Man U fans had Glazer out banners and chanted about them , we just fell asleep wishing we were watching Countryfile!

[Stuntman_Mike]

I did like the ironic cheer when someone 'scored' during the stop in play. 

 

Man Utd fans sounded good on the TV tbf.

Excellent, we deserve to be embarrassed in the national media 

 

 

From Top to the fans, an absolute nothing club with no self respect. 

[teblin]

On the When you're smiling Pod, either Jack or Matt said the word "apathy". I think that is how I'm feeling and I think that is part of the problem as I'm not the only one.

 

We need anger or passion to get a change. I think the players and Ruud are also in the same position.

 

 

[Stuntman_Mike]

The thing is, with how bad performances are I can't blame the lack of atmosphere or backing because there is absolutely nothing to back. 

 

I can't understand why there isn't more uproar towards the board though. 

[purpleronnie]

You can't force fans to be passionate, it's just how most Leicester fans are.  It won't ever change.

[Ricey]

The widespread apathy is a bigger sign of how badly run this club is than any march or chant, but unfortunately that doesn’t cut through with the media or the board. It will just be put down to recent results.

 

The fight has gone out of everyone because we feel no connection with the club and we know very little will change. Recent history has taught us that.

[Nolucklcfc]

As many have said at the moment it’s pure apathy. Even myself, I just don’t really want to be there. There’s no hope, no nothing. 

[Edingleyfox]

There was almost total silence when the second goal went in and for several minutes afterwards.The anger that we saw  has gone it is more resignation than apathy IMO

This is it. It's so predictable. 

 

If it was other times where we actually had fight, there would be at least a roar from the crowd to sort of go again and keep fighting, even if you know it's unlikely we'll get back into it.

Any LCFC wildly singing and creating an atmosphere during that display last night and coming after the endless pathetic efforts we’ve seen from the lads this season must be on something. The fact that the majority of the crowd was quiet last night shows a fanbase that knows that the majority of the players up to the owners don’t care and simply aren’t putting the effort in. Without a centralised protest which is very difficult to organise amongst such a vast number and range of fans, a collective apathy is in itself a form of protest. Ultimately if the players actually looked like they were giving 100%, the atmosphere would improve massively irrespective of the result. 

[blue army 1988]

Very surprised there were no songs aimed at Top or Rudkin or even a sacked in the morning for Ruud

[Guest Lako42]

The fans are letting them get away with destroying the club, simple as that

The lack of fight last night has just about killed me off for this season. And then Stephy ending up on his arse for the third 🤬

Myself and my boy has got Newcastle tickets, working for the next couple and then planning on the Ipswich game. But I said on the way home last night I can’t watch no more this season after the Newcastle game. I ain’t wasting a days holiday to go and watch an already relegated team because that’s what they’ll be, to spend over £100 as that’s what is spent to watch a spineless team and with a bunch of happy clappers, who in the family stand last night was nothing short of atrocious. 
after the final whistle went, I heard and saw people applause, what the actual? Never ending conversation this of it’s the Leicester way, fans etc but seeing this week in week out just brings out anger that I don’t need.. 

 

on a separate note (apart from vardy, your wife is a grass) 95% of their support last night was spot on. Support, non stop chanting, glaziers out, banners. 
we would be 3-0 up and be standing there.. 

Sad times I’m afraid 

 

and then to top it off in my hearing was young lads singing United chants under their breath and people constantly filming the United chants and fans.. 

Its happening at all clubs but don’t make it enjoyable in any way
