West Brom boycott

You are encouraging a toxic atmosphere at the ground which hardly helps the players when things are difficult on the pitch as well as off.  Didn't realise it needed spelling out.

By that logic, why aren't we winning loads of games, as thousands are still clapping the players off at FT, even after multiple 3 goal losses. 

 

Do we need to cheer louder to ensure they only lose by 2?

[stevostadium]

I genuinely think the reduced attendance tonight will be down to people not bothering due to the weather, being a Monday TV game and people cant be arsed after first day back at work.

 

I think the boycott will only be a 1000 or so people tops.

[BenTheFox]

Clapping the team off after turning in a truly embarrassing performance is just entirely performative. You don't really appreciate the effort of the players when they've just not so much as laid a finger on Sheffield Utd.

Boycott or not, the reduced attendance will be reflective of our plight.

As has been mentioned countless times in this thread already, if you are not attending the game for those reasons, then that counts part of the boycott because people were not missing games in large numbers for those reasons previously. 

[Freeman's Wharfer]

A call to KPFC fans: this is your chance.

 

You get that coat on and those mittens and that scarf and those thick socks and you trek down Filbert Way to show Top how much you love him and how much support he has. If you get a little cold, buy a hot chocolate or a Bovril as a thanks to the club for the excellent catering they put on.

 

And don’t forget to chant. That’ll really show those Union FS hooligans who spend hours hand-crafting tifos, running food bank collections and organising charity initiatives, what being a proper supporter really is.

 

Go well, comrades.

[CosbehFox]

The irony that the fans are the toxic party. 

 

The (majority of) players and staff whom have repeatedly shown poor professional conduct, a lack of effort and very rarely shown any gratitude keep deserving the support ?!? 

 

This is inverted !

Feels fairly insulting to me, and as far from unifying as it is possible to get!  People clapping at the end of the match are recognising the efforts of the players, not saluting the management of the Club.

 

You are being a snow flake Paul. Which as a snow flake you are probably going to be insulted by being called one but never mind. Happy Clapper is hardly an insult is it. But anyway I will try and explain why you getting insulted is stupid even if it was an offensive term. 

 

1) The term Happy Clapper isn't a blanket description for everyone attending the game, anyone using it in such way is using it incorrectly, you can obviously take your lad to a game and during a boycott and no one is going to think any less of you on either side, in fact I think there's another bloke in here who has said he is going because of Son and we have all said totally agree with you going, it's time you can't get back, the happiness of a child is far more important than this and they shouldn't be dragged into this mess anyway.

 

2) It is in general terms aimed at extremely aggressive individuals who try and undermine fan unrest, try to act holier than thou and point out the club has been in a lower league position than this and we are acting spoilt, should be getting behind the lads regardless, are only x amount of points off the play offs, how dare we take action against King Power after all they've done for us, go and support Coventry you glory fans, you don't know what it was like in League one blah blah blah blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz without addressing any of the real issues like the clubs finances wage bill squad, collective administrative **** ups, FFP,  and inability to appoint the right staff in the right places especially that of first team head coach/manager. They also have a tendency to throw punches and put their foot through drums,  these people are clearly not at a point of being reasoned with yet, so what we call them is irrelevant, I personally have a few words stronger than Happy clapper I think they should be grateful they have such a PC label.

 

You clearly don't fall into this category, therefore you are not a "happy clapper", so calm down.

 

You are definitely still a snow flake though.

Good news if so. That's 1000 people to be strong enough to show some bravery. 

 

Think how it will grow as we go through the gears

But it's okay for those 'real fans' to say what they like about about those not happy with how the clubs run

You could see it as sycophantic behaviour, but in many ways it's worse because they have nothing to gain.

[Pliskin]

I can’t believe what I’ve read on here….

 

Promoting a toxic atmosphere? Fans react to the product they see before them. The product we’ve got before us is one that’s seen us complete the most spectacular self inflicted decline in football history. 
 

The question I have, is how can ANY loyal Leicester fan standby and accept this?

[Tommy Fresh]

Fans whinging about the boycott and telling everyone how much of a real fan they are because they back the lads are the same sort of folk who used to give Pearson shit

But the irony is, they won’t even be backing them. 

The type of fans who criticise those of us supporting a boycott will go the the game, sitting silence for 90 minutes (sorry 80 minutes) , clap the backwards and sideways passing, and clap the team off the pitch following yet another abject performance (probably clap as they walk back to the car to beat the traffic). 

 

Is that supporting the team? Backing the lads? Or celebrating an inadequate product?

The attendance was 28k against QPR in January last year for a 3rd round FA Cup.

 

If the attendance is signigicnalty lower than that e.g less than 26000, it's a good start for any protest

Leicester have got 4 or 5 thousand I reckon!

Been advised that being a yo yo club is expected and a boycott is ridiculous 

 

totally missing the point

It's like being asked to "get behind the lads". Yep, agreed, but by all means give us something to get behind.

 

Pitiful home and away performances, catalogue-upon-catalogue of errors at the back, coupled with frustrating Jekyll-and-Hyde 45 minute specials, are hardly reasons to applaud them off the pitch at full time.

Speculative Abdul Fatawu goals from the half way line, or barn-storming defensive masterclasses from Nelson, are flashes in the pan in this sh*tshow of a season as far as I am concerned

 

Most of my ventures to KP this season have been virtually sat in silence, just like the general match-day atmosphere. I mean, even the away end don't get involved much these days!

Sounds like pure cuckoldry.

Not even a joke at this point, people who say things like this woudn't care if their wives were cheating on them.

[ScotFox1]

Reading this topic shows just how fractured and un-cohesive the fan base actually is.  Sad!

Fancy going mate. We could just about make kick off. Oh, hang on, its Corriedale tonight, can't miss that.

[Enyoueffsea]

It does make me smile to see people who are attending are often saying their reason is “because nobody will tell me what to do” and “because I want to”.

 

Taking a stand against taking a stand because they don’t want to feel like they’ve been told to take a stand 

 

Maybe the next protest should be to tell people they must attend? There will be thousands of empty seats presumably with those who are too self important to be seen to follow what others have suggested.

[Pliskin]

I wonder how many claps there will be after Darryl Dike taps in his third of the game.

It will also be reflective of the weather conditions, could be -4, also the later KO time with kids back at school and people with work commitments
