It never feels like a big game, does it? The ground is half empty 10 minutes before kick off. The music (although acceptable) is played at a level where you can't get an atmosphere going. 

 

During the game you have a couple of sections trying. The rest bang a folded piece of card for no particular reason other than it is there. Win, lose or draw the end of the match is played out with droves streaming out and empty seats galore.

 

Friday night is an opportunity to get something going but no, we'll have a light show, a concept that forces people in circumstances into the concourse and away from the pitch. 

 

People who aren't going aren't missing anything. That is damning.

All true, but that's what english football culture is now.  Save your money and either go to games north of the border, or europe, it's so much more fun.  Of course it won't be 'your club' you're watching, so the connection won't be there.

The only thing anyone is missing is another defeat

It's quite odd the diffference in the interpretation of what 'support' means.  What I've noticed outside of england is when fans talk about 'support' it's about atmosphere and the levels of noise, in england it's often about numbers of fans who went.

 

Even when it comes to away fans you'll see a picture of a packed away end and most of the comments will talk about numbers, rarely the noise those fans made.

 

To me 200 noisey fans is support, 2000 fans sitting in silence is not.

Lad next to me commented on how loud the music was pre game.

 

Honestly at a loss to how we get more joining in singing.

There was I reckon only three times yesterday when a good number joined in. These points were loud and fun. Surely those who only joined in at those points enjoyed the noise too.

Why not join in more?

Surely the atmosphere is loud and plenty of singing all around the stadium. After all that’s what the Facebook KPFC fans tell everyone to do “support & get behind the lads”

That’s what 80% of the Leicester fan base is.. all bark and no bite

I’m baffled as well. The football we serve up is so boring you’d expect the fans to make some of their own entertainment.

Ask many of them their favourite LCFC game and I bet the atmosphere gets mentioned. 
 

I repeatedly question if basically the club and by default the sport has changed so much, that’s simply not the thing I enjoy any more.
 

I’m not part of what the sport or club wants anymore. But sadly, even with all the travelling I do for footy, nothing feels more exciting than a big LCFC goal

It's just dire isn't it. I sing my heart out but am with a few exceptions the ground seems to be full of passive, quiet people. Not sure why they come other than a. they can afford it, b. they are interested in enjoying the atmosphere created by everyone else, c. they are "interested" in Leicester but not enough to raise their voices in support. As has been mentioned earlier the vast number of "supporters" criticising the protest and saying we should get behind the lads I would have thought it would be like San Lorenzo's ground yesterday but sadly......not

Isolated cases of people clapping the players off tonight…

Some near me clapping them off got some right bloody looks when I told them to F**k off.

Seen 3 blue on blue tonight. In the concourse just before half time and in SK1.

 

Pathetic on and off the pitch.

in the 80 there massive queues at 130 to get in and the atmosphere built from there. Even though the ground was rarely full everyone was involved.Mind you they were all nuts

No end of people near me clapping at the end.

 

Amazes me that songs taking the piss out of the players gets more people joining in than any chant against the board. People just don’t get it.

Quite a few turned on UFS when the sack the board chant started

 

Seemed to be excessive security up their and all over the ground again tonight 

 

Like why does their need to be a wall of stewards near the home dugout?
