The media did not pick it up, and certainly the majority of supporters did not have a sense that there was any dissatisfaction throughout the games. If there was a moment where the whole of the ground should have made itself heard, it was then. The effect was a manager who stayed too long, because no pressure was being brought to bear on him from above. While I agree it didn't spread as it could, and maybe should have, there were pockets of dissent 1

A few hundred out of 29k or so just isn’t toxic. If it had of been just maybe our idiot of a manager would have gone sooner. Would also say on at least 3/4 occasions it ended up with guys having full blown punch ups, which at that point I would consider toxic. Think it is extremely rare for an entire stadium to be up in arms booing in the modern era, top of my head I can only really think of Newcastle in the past 5 years or so, What it’s worth I don’t necessarily blame our fans, it is always going to get sticky when things are ran as badly as they were last couple of years, just hope we give the new era a proper go 1

It'll be toxic like it was last season. I think the club needs to keep the fans onside this year if we're to be successful. Well that’s our twatty fans issue isn’t it. 6

As well as a local derby in our first 4 games.

Lillehamring Posted 27 July 2023 Posted 27 July 2023 1 hour ago, AKCJ said: Seen Leiceater fans scrapping with Leicester fan, constant booing/slagging off of Leicester players and barely any support for the team. You're welcome to think that's all normal but it was the most toxic season I've seen at the club in a good 15 years or so. Wasn't at all enjoyable. After 5 games?

It can be heard when a wild tackle takes out one of our players, the berating of the referee due to his perceived incompetence, all instances where the anger of the supporters can be heard in unison. We were far too happy accepting what we were seeing and supporters willing to push back were berated or having banners snatched from them and being spat on.

Our fans would clap if someone sat in the centre circle spinning like homer simpson all game.

But this was disappointing. We were in a death spiral and UFS had the opportunity to make a real statement but opted to be as vague as possible here. Adults say what they mean and mean what they say; however, I have faith that if a similar opportunity arises itself in the future, then UFS will do better with their protest/statement. 1
