Leicester City Fan Engagement Plan for the 2025/26 season

[davieG]

• Some Members said that some fans sitting in the Kop (SK2/3/4) get frustrated about not being able to see players when they run out of the tunnel/not being able to cheer or clap as they would like to when there are displays at that end of the ground. They also mentioned not getting the benefit of seeing the display themselves and said that for some fans it has an actively negative impact on their experience at the start of a game. Members suggested that the location of crowd displays could be more varied so that those in the Kop could also benefit from seeing the display and weren’t always the ones whose experience was inhibited at the start of the game. • Members felt that there should clear messaging from the Club to inform supporters whether the crowd displays are Club-led or Supporter Group-led as it was felt there was some confusion about whether previous displays had been led by the Club or Supporter Groups. Members suggested that many fans aren’t aware that Supporter Groups develop some of these displays and there is an assumption they are produced by the Club. Some Members asked whether the Club would finance Supporter Group displays and felt that the fact there was no financial support from the Club was reflected in the ‘non-corporate’, less sophisticated design of the Supporter Group led displays. • It was proposed that flags could be used for when the team needs a ‘lift’ at any point during the season as it was felt they contribute to a positive atmosphere in the stadium.

Took the wind out of us reading this the other day.

Sorry, have I read that bit correctly? Some wanted the Tifos to be more corporate?

Wow. We genuinely have the worst "end" in the country. UFS do a brilliant job but are wasted doing it with the complete dullards we have.

The club could help facilitate people who don’t like displays move into other parts of the ground; instead they’d rather placate some bores and have no tifos at all.

Glad it’s not just me that found nearly the whole thing pretty ridiculous.

 

If the main issues they think we need to address are not giving free beer away and waving flags at times the players need us then I’m lost for words.
