How Do We Make the King Power a Fortress Again?

[jayfox26]

It's easy to blame the fans but it's hard to get behind the likes of Faes and some of the other waste of space players we've had over the last few years. It's not always about winning or being in the prem but the bare minimum fans expect is to see players give 100% every game and that sadly hasn't always been the case over the last few years. Add in the poor running of the club and the disconnect between the club and the fans and it's understandable why the stadium isn't what it once was.

The club need to give the fans freedom rather than trying to manage it all themselves.

 

I was thinking about this the other day though, I do remember specifically during the great escape every time we conceded there'd be an encouragement cheer from our crowd and that's just completely alien now - something's not been right in this way for ages.

Generally, the club is far too fractured for this to happen.

 

Fans hate the board, the board hates the fans.

Fans hate half of the players, half of the players hate the fans.

 

The fans hate the fans 😂. I had someone in front of my at the Brum game “why are they booking Demarai Gray? He won us the league” which pretty much says it all.

 

The only way you resolve it is by the club engaging with all of the fans, being clear with our aims and goals, the manager doing the same and then having a young, hungry team busting a gut on the pitch. I’m not sure all of that happens any time soon.

Club needs to do more to get the fans in the stadium early to build the atmosphere, I noticed at Villa Park they do interesting offers like if you arrive at the stadium like 90 minutes before kick off you get 50% off all food and drinks. Imagine open the turnstiles early from 12.30pm with the big screens showing the lunch time game with pints at just £2.50.

Went to tigers match last season and before and after the game there were thousands in the concourses. Had a band on after, proper party atmosphere.Match was a bit boring though

Have the posters signed up for the your 90 minutes meeting this Thursday pretty much on this topic?

[Out Foxed]

not to be flippant. but don't lose games. 

[cropstonfox]

Brendon ruined us.put us back 5 years or more.Then blamed everyone else.Rudkin let it happen.

If you want to sing but you’re not in SK1, G1, L1 or N block then you’re part of the problem.

 

The club do lots of crap things that detract from the atmosphere but the atmosphere has to come from the fans 

[kierant]

Just to see the lads put a shift in would do.....win lose or draw.....I actually don't care how we do this year if they try!

It feels like not too long ago the King Power Stadium was a place teams genuinely feared. From the Great Escape season, through the title win, to those European nights – the atmosphere carried the team. But in recent years, that spark has gone missing.

Some of it is down to results, some to the disconnect between fans and the club and maybe also the type of football we’ve been playing. Opponents don’t look nervous there anymore – if anything, some see it as an easy place to pick up points.
 

So the big question: How do we rebuild the King Power as a fortress?

• Is it down to us as fans – louder support, flags, singing sections, unity?
• Is it down to the team – playing with energy and giving the crowd something to get behind?
• Or is it a club issue – ticketing, atmosphere initiatives, engagement with fans?
• Do we need a proper “12th man” culture again like Crystal Palace, Newcastle, etc.?
   

For me, it’s a mix of all three. The football under Cifuentes has to be more intense despite getting results so far but the club also needs to reconnect with supporters. At our best, the King Power can be a cauldron but right now it feels too quiet, too often.

What do you think – what’s needed to make the King Power Stadium feared again?

 

Not sure Ryan, why don't you ask ChatGPT to answer the questions you've asked it?

[Bourbon Fox]

First, sell the fortress to a shady shell company that we own.

 

Then, use that shady money to fortify it with some good players.

A few missing indefinite articles looks suspiciously Slavic. Guessing it's a Russian bot designed to sow division and discord amongst the foxestalk community. Frightening times.

Surprised he'd make such an unforced error.

A masterpiece of early 20th century filmmaking, however I would contend not Eisenstein's finest. I personally prefer Strike, in particular for its use of symbolic montage (e.g. workers massacred, cross-cut with animals being slaughtered).

 

Anyway to the original question, I'd say by swapping the family stand with the kop.

Switch off the tv's.

If we have a team that plays with heart, desire and quality the fans will buy into it. It's always been this way in England. It's the same for every single team.

Strengthening the King Power fortress starts with us—the fans—through better organization, intentional seating, inclusive yet vibrant support, and close coordination with the club. It’s a team effort off the field that can rally on it.

 

If you’d like to refine that based on Ryan’s specific points once you can quote or share them, feel free to circle back—I’d be happy to help polish it further!

Maybe free beer for a few hours before the match and don't limit it to just one can each. 

[Vindaloo FOX]

We all have a massive wank just before kick-off 

[sylofox]

Ban the prawn sandwich brigade and those that wank off over king power.

 

Jobs a gud n.
