brendan Posted 9 March 2006 Share Posted 9 March 2006 i just think the general image of the club has changed. its more family based now, i mean ive never seen so many old people at the football before. and also with our nice new stadium its never going to be a fortress or an intimidating place for other teams to come. although on the other side we can make a hell of an atmosphere when we want to, i really dont know what the single reason is for it. but i certainly think everyone knocking a few more beers back would help I agree, although i sit on the back banging when it starts to generate noise. i try to start as many chants as possible. Example, against Hull right at the end i just started banging right near the end and it just turned into an amazingly loud 'We all live in a blue n white kop'. I was just wondering, are we allowed to take a drum into the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phube Posted 10 March 2006 Share Posted 10 March 2006 The club is supposed to be looking into this. Good idea, but how annoying would it be if was in the seat next to you!!?? I for one am a certified NIMBY and would be highly aggrieved if some bloke with a huge drum started deafening me during a match!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad goes to chile for work, a few months a year and he goes to games there and he says he goes next to a drum and you ahve to bounce up and down all game and at the end you can't hear properly and your body aches. Although i would love a drum in the kop. Would def buy a s/t then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue1 Posted 10 March 2006 Share Posted 10 March 2006 2moz will be a good chance to see how unreserved seating works, i know its only 1700 seats but it would be interesting to see how it works?? if you get there early it will be ok, but if you get there late then i bet people wont like it!!! and that is my arguement about getting people into the walkers early to create a bit of noise.

The trouble with modern day football is that many clubs deliberately dampen down any atmoshere with loud poxy music before the game (usually only suitable for x-factor and hideous chart/radio 1 fans). In the old days any atmosphere was created because all you singing fans could hear yourselves out-chanting/insulting one another. And so could the rest of us. It's all done on purpose you know..........and it works!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weller Wing Posted 10 March 2006 Share Posted 10 March 2006 hello all reading through these posts i'm surprised that nobody has pointed out yet one of the most important things. Leicesters songs are krap-simple as we only have one decent song-'when you're smiling' and nobody ever sings it!! 'when the saints(blues)' 'come on Leicester' 'oh Leicester we love you' thats about it i've been coming up(from the south) to Leicester for many years now, and i would NEVER knock the City fans effort , they will sing all afternoon but they get bored singing the same few songs. Stoke's 'dellila' isn't that great, but its theirs, they belt it out loud and people identify them with that song. Leicester have nothing it needs to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I didnt but its a different kettle of fish away from home isnt it. At home our singing/chanting is quite dull, when we are away from home you pick up on little things like 'wankers in hats' etc. All im saying is the humour in songs at the Walkers is pretty much non existant than at Filbs.
