Dames Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 One down, 20,000-odd to go. Whereabouts are the rest of you who moan about the atmosphere? Do you all work weekends too? Put your money where your mouth is and do something about it. I see where your coming from mate. But sometimes when you stand up on your own or with your friends to start a good chant people turn round and look at you if you've commited some sort of foul crime, You'll occasionally get the big fat bald man who also jumps up and joins in but he gets the same kind of treatment and after 5 or 6 trys you get so pissed off with your own fans you don't even bother anymore.

So move to the back. Plenty of empty seats every week. No-one behind you to tell you to sit down or shut up. You have to deal with the stewards sure, but there's safety in numbers - the evidence being L1.

I'm not moaning as such i'm just pointing out that most of our fans are unwilling to stand up and cheer the team on unless were 2-0 up.
BigGibbo Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 erm...i'm in L1 Fez & me does that now make us outcasts on here
Simi Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 I sit in the Kop, D2 and to the left of me, going up to the back there are about 20 to 30 people that sing through out the game, admittedly mostly anti forest/derby chants but they put in a lot of effort. Yesterday they were also full of Megson's wonderland.Perversely many of them are the same bunch that boo MDV and the team at the end of every game we don't win, so lots of booing then . Are these the same people that come on here and slag the crowd off for not singing through out the game , I wonder! If you're referring to us. It isn't Our fans are an absolute disgrace to be honest. Absolute disgrace, in nearly every way. The worst type of fans in so many ways - no noise unless we're winning (even then fook all), shit unoriginal songs, no passion, no getting behind the team, no humour, no rivalries, totally sterile. Everything that the kop at Filbert Street was not. Were you in N Block last year? Did you make the effort to change things around? Because the people that sit down in the Kop and moan about, poor atmosphere lack of standing, lack of vocal support etc, really need to take a look at themselves and be the solution to the problem. There are plenty of seats at the back of the Kop. So many times yesterday I saw random people near the front standing and singing, I thought to myself why don't they just move to the back instead of being looked at like they're going to set a bomb off by the stewards. Fair enough they may sit near the front for other reasons, but it would help so much if people would actually do something instead of constantly moaning. If you get enough people standing at the back, the stewards wont be able to do as much as they can now.

Master Fox Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 Dear oh dear. It doesn’t appear judging by the comments that too many people had an enjoyable afternoon watching City. I really hope Megson can prove myself and the majority of fans wrong and become a success. I can also see why people are getting frustrated at the way our team always seem incapable of holding out for a victory. But by the sounds of things Megson’s late buffoonery cost us the game? I didn’t go so I cannot comment, but it’s not best way to start off your managerial spell at a new club is it? For me games like this don’t really seem disappointing anymore, it’s just more of what we’ve been used to seeing over the last four years or so. Will the football at Leicester ever improve? Let’s hope so.
DB11 Posted 16 September 2007 Posted 16 September 2007 And people who aren't ST holders and just come to the odd game standing up and shouting all game as if they know every thing slating the manager. It's just annoying and they probably do it just to do something

I think most of us City fans are used to it by now!!! By the time i've walked passed the cinema on my way to the ground,i'm already fcuked off!!!!
ronnup Posted 17 September 2007 Posted 17 September 2007 Rather that than grooming. I swapped my season ticket and sat at the back of the cop cos me bird came, very little noise at all. Some lads making a row but it was poor. What's gone wrong? I remember the Villa game in the cup last year. Mexican waves, huge atmosphere, team played well. If we could get behind them like that every week. It makes a huge difference to the team. Whose responsability is it to get it sorted? Ours? The management?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 17 September 2007 Posted 17 September 2007 Is there?I wont be standing up at the back of the Kop again. Ever again. There were three or four blokes next to us on Saturday stood up all game, not so much as a warning. Course they were about 30-35 years old and looked like they'd give the stewards some shit so they got no hassle at all.

Course they were about 30-35 years old and looked like they'd give the stewards some shit so they got no hassle at all. That's exactly what we said when we looked over at them blokes. Constantly we were told to sit down, not one time did a steward mention to them because they don't want the hassle.
lcfc_jme Posted 17 September 2007 Posted 17 September 2007 If you all sat down and just clapped along like good little citizens, the stewards would be your best friends and the manager would never get booed.

Thracian Posted 17 September 2007 Posted 17 September 2007 I wouldn't dream of booing the manager or any of the team members. But I gave my thoughts on Megson after he was appointed and nothing that happened on Saturday suggested I should change them in any way. Megson didn't deserve cheering on Saturday. Quite simply we drew a game we would surely have won but for our bizarre changes and tactics. I'm happy to alter my views if the bloke shows signs of deserving it - it would certainly not be the first time. But like Daggers I'm not expecting a Megson success. Megson seems to conveniently distance himself from what happened at Forest and might have a point for all the notice I took of what he did there. But if I was being derided in the way Forest fans speak of Megson I'd be examining what I could do in my next job that might improve people's opinions and my club's fortunes. There were no signs Saturday that he's done that. This isn't just about results to me. It never was as player, coach, manager or fan. Megson - or any other manager - will only get my blessing if he tries to play with the style and attitude this club was once known and loved for. I really have had enough of season after season of inexcusable and ineffective negativity. And the dour and unsuccessful outcome that inevitably followed. And it is no use Megson complaining later that he inherited a poisoned challice. I've watched all our players down to under 18 level and am quite positive that, even without one single signing, any manager worth his badges could take the squad we have and play some really good matchwinning football. In his place I'd feel like I'd just found Aladdin's lamp. As people have pointed out we should be at least three, perhaps up to five points better than we are and some of those points have been surrendered through badly mistaken, even embarrassing tactics ... not all by Megson of course. Megson's got more blessings than the Catholic Church at Leicester City. Saturday he didn't make the best of them which was why I doubt that anyone was impressed and why some people chose to boo him. The antidote to that is in his own hands - not through pleas on here. It is down to having the right basic vision and then making positive decisions to make that vision come about. Strikes me so far that Megson needs to work on both.
