tbf Posted 23 August 2007 Share Posted 23 August 2007 I rarely get to see Leicester play these days, being a student in Sheffield, but I used to sit in the top of the double decker in the old days. In the few games i have been to in the Walkers i have tended to sit in K1 since i like the atmosphere and banter of being near the away fans. It seems to magnify the experience; cheering in the face of the visitors is second to none, while having them cheer at an away goal kicks you where it hurts. And you get a good view of the whole pitch. I've arranged to bring 3 mates (who have never been to a football game ever before) to see the Watford game on Saturday, i convinced them to come saying it would only cost 15 quid (we're all 21). But i found that for this price the best seats we could get were in the cop. Considering this now i think it may be for the best, since this is where the most noise comes from. This all brought me ask the question: What experience do you get sitting in each part of the ground, and what sort of supporter sits there?

The only atmosphere in the Walkers is in L or K now as the club have made N all ST Holders . The South, West and North stands are now full of a few specimens, the living dead, festering corpses who pass for Leicester fans, happy clappers, prawn sandwiches and suits, business sorts who are showing their clients the "high" life ,kids who bring their psp's and women who scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen_lcfc Posted 23 August 2007 Share Posted 23 August 2007 West Stand = Flask Brigade Kop = Predominantly Flask Brigade A+L = Flask Brigade North Stand = Kids with plenty of Flask Brigade N = A few who started something great last year but has no support from the club this year so is crumbling - so nearly empty L + K = The mad lot who stand all game and create as much atmosphere as possible for 700-800 people. For you information I have a season ticket in N but will probably move to K or L after Watford due to its failure to take off this season - which is a great shame.

DB11 Posted 23 August 2007 Share Posted 23 August 2007 The best experience I've ever had watching Leicester at home was against Tottenham in the FA Cup but there aren't too many I can recall. Away, however, is always a great atmosphere and experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen_lcfc Posted 23 August 2007 Share Posted 23 August 2007 The Walkers Experience for me was N last season. Now I shall be moving to L as the Kop has hardly been 'sparkling' during the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l444ry Posted 23 August 2007 Share Posted 23 August 2007 This is a sad topic. All it does is ferment the ludicrous assumption that, unless you hail from the beer swilling, chanting brigade, you are somewhat a lesser "supporter". I know some fans that have been going down for 50 years plus. Apart from being a juvenile view it is plainly stupid to class these people as anyway inferior because they prefer to enjoy their football in a different way, rather than sit with some piss-head. From my experience these fans have forgotten more about football than half of the "superior" fans will ever know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience these fans have forgotten more about football than half of the "superior" fans will ever know. I agree with you on that one and and proud to be classed in the chanting brigade - if thats what you want to call it -but why does it seem that in the Walkers their is 99.5% of people who do this and only 0.5% who sing. Whereas at Filbert street the percentages where very much different - would like to put a figure on them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
