Stadium atmosphere

[TamworthFoxes]

Can someone produce a check list of what is required to be an acceptable Leicester Fan because it gets trickier and trickier by the week to know the do's and dont's.

Particular help needed on the following points:

 

1) What exact chants are allowed?  Do they all have to be completely 100% factually accurate?  I would hate for one to slip in that's not factual and become an embarrassing thick supporter.  Loud and proud but only if the chant has been fact checked first?

2)  When are you supposed to leave the match?  Are you allowed to head down at 90 minutes or is it strictly stay until the better end?

3) In relation to the above is there a tipping point where if we are say 4-0 down and you dare to stay are you then just a KP Super fan which obviously no one wants to be.  Is there a cut off at which point we should really leave in relation to our performance?

4) Which political party are we?  Don't want to get that mixed up.  We all hate Tommy Robinson?  Definitely want Starmer in for along time?  Don't want the boats stopping at all?  In fact do we want more boats?  Do we need a FoxesTalk approved sticker to make sure people know our feelings?

5) Should we be from a certain demographic?  Don't want knuckle draggers right?  But we don't want the Tiger's lot Hooray Henrys either?  

6) We all have to hate Trump aswell?  Obviously we are far superior to the actual Americans that voted him in because I presume they will be the thicko knuckle draggers who we discarded in Points 4 and 5 above.

 

A helpful guide perhaps pinned at the top of the board so potential new fans can work out if they have the potential to be an acceptable Leicester supporter.

I can sum it up in four words.

 

Don't be a cvnt.

 

No need to be verbose about it.

Sounded pretty good on the tv tbf. 
 

Sorry to go Chant Police but you can’t sing “just like Forest you live in the past” when Villa are in this season’s champions league and Forest are on track to qualify for next year’s. 
 

Thickest fanbase in England, evidenced by those stickers. 

Whilst not realising our title win is nearly a decade ago and we'll be living off it in 20 years' time.

The poetic justice of this thread being at page 420 is very apt. Just chill man…. Everyone has an opinion and they’re allowed to share it. At least that was the case in my day before all you younguns started getting offended at everything 

[Corky]

I'd have thought most people go to football to escape the political stuff. What has Yaxley-Lennon, Trump or Starmer got to do with Leicester City?

At least we've moved on from singing get your t*ts out for the lads to the programme seller at filbert street as she walked past the kop.  She was about 70 years old 🤣

I'm all but done with this football club as it is, but our ends being full of Reform, Tommy Robinson and Trump arsewipes puts me over. I was going to take my daughter to QPR on Saturday. Not now.

They’re defo not ‘full’ of these idiots and it’s reassuring to read the idiots are getting called out. Hope that continues. Qpr at home in cup will very much be a family affair, these day trippers won’t even know we’re playing never mind be at the kp

I was in the top tier and our support was good yesterday - theirs was absolutely atrocious - for a team in the championships league and going welll this year they were a complete and utter embarrassment. There was nothing at all from them until the 2nd goal and even then it was a terrible song sung poorly. Shocking

I'm surprised to see positive comments about our end. I thought it was absolutely abysmal, including their end. People just don't seem interested at all. I'm going Everton but that's me done after that, I'm not paying to go away games and feel out of place trying to sing songs.

I think it must have been where you were - We were behind UFS and next to the Villa fans so it was reasonable

 

They were fuching abysmal though - made our home support look reasonable

It was abysmal from both sets of fans but especially them. I was really surprised by how poor it was. When you mention that you feel out of place starting songs, this is where we can do something. Why doesn’t everyone on here that wants to vocally back the team away from home, message each other where their ticket is and then get a group together?

I tend to try and make a beeline for where UFS will be. 

 

There wasn't too many of them yesterday but they helped the atmosphere on the left side upper yesterday where I would have said it was acceptable / good

Me too, but we need more people doing that. It was very disjoined yesterday. Especially away from home we can definitely do better just from people trying to organise a bit more.

I really admire some people on this topic who actively try to improve it, I really do like yourself. I just think it’s tragic and such a shame that as a club this needs to be discussed because I would love to know whether there are any other clubs who have a 420 page atmosphere topic like this one. I very much doubt it. Away from home, as the chant goes (don’t give a **** cause we’re all p*ssed up) and yet as a collective it was mediocre. 
Some people try to add more songs on the forum, I just wouldn’t have the voice as a solo adult to start it on my own and then it resorts to were the left side/right side? At times Leicester really are the league 2 of the premier league, seriously have to be the only club in the league with that absolute whopper of a chant to fill a void of silence. 
It must cost people a fair whack on an away day.. ticket + coach, food and drink.. £100, but to just stand and watch or talking about what your doing the next day, I just cannot understand.. I’ll probably get pelted with people can support the team how they want, but I seriously just dont get it.

There's no place for racism in football.

 

In my opinion, this countries football culture that did more towards attempting to eliminate racism than any political decision ever has. 

 

We also support where we're from, and in our case, that's Leicester. The football/rugby/cricket should be a place where different communities and different cultures from all over the shire (and beyond) come together and unite behind our team and those representing our city.

 

Makes me sick to the core that some 'fans' think it's ok to give racial abuse. And given the last few pages, where someone got banned for supposedly holding a flare/smoke bomb, it also angers me to see that the club aren't focusing on placing sanctions on the real offenders within the club's fanbase.

 

I urge, whoever reads this, if they see any behavior like this, to call it out. Take a photo or tell a nearby steward. It might not make a difference to you, but I promise you, it will help someone else.

Don’t think it’s a demographic thing at all anymore. Yes we have quite a lot of older fans, but yesterday had probably six18 year old lads in front of us. Don’t think they said a word all game. Just spent the whole time on their phones. What is the point in going to the game? Villa fans were absolutely terrible as well. There’s just no passion in top level English football anymore.Football shouldn’t be light shows, clappers and £60 tickets.Our game is being Americanised but oh well it’s ’the Best league in the world’.

One person prints a sticker, and sticks it on something, you see it as evidence to brand an entire group of 30,000 people as thick. Sounds very unreasonable to me.

Yet in America, they have terraces, cheap tickets, whole ends devoted to supporter groups, legal pyro....

Football has always overlapped with societal issues. Celtic and Rangers whole existence lies on sectarian and political stances for example. There will always be a political element to the sport, as it’s cultural.

I don’t get it either but this thread is full of moaning without action. People happy to have a pop at each other and say how bad it is but no one is interested in actually doing anything. I think I’ve just come to realise that we just don’t have it in the fanbase. Passion ain’t there.

Its true and I'm guilty of this, at least we have the UFS who have done something, just a pity the numbers never really grew.  Lots of other english clubs have nothing at all.

 

So I think you're right in some respects, the vast majority of fans in england either don't care about the atmosphere or don't want to do anything about it.

 

I was sure safe standing was going to be a game changer in england, its made little to no difference.  There's probably more standing at top flight games than ever before and the atmopshere has never been worse.
