Floating Fox Posted 4 December 2007 Posted 4 December 2007 I don't see why people get pissed off about chants to be honest. OKay I understand the "fooking useless" one as every other club accross the land sings it but when people moan about singing about forest, I really don't understand. They are our RIVALS we HATE them! Thats what most clubs do, sing about their rivals! As for the stupidity of the chants, I agree. But you have to look at why, they have not been 'educated', they goto the game, and they have no-one to look-up to and 'teach' them how to sing at football, so they just spurt out any nonsense that they've heard before.
Cheese Me Posted 4 December 2007 Posted 4 December 2007 We have got a ground not built for atmosphere unfortunately. In the golden MON era I remember turning up to the kop standing there and singing every players name before kick off...Englands No.1! Englands, Englands No.1!! That would gee up Flowers... Then you'd have somethin like 'Matty, Matty Elliot'. Then on to the midfield, 'Theres only one Neil Lennon....', 'Oooh ah, Mustapha.....' and then you'd give some to 'Bruno, Bruno.....' and then 'Walking in a Cottee wonderland.....' This would get everyone up for it in a big way, fans and players alike. Unfortunately this cannot and will not happen at the Walkers... Memories Really miss those days. No player we've had for the last three or four years would have got near that team and it was only a few years ago. How times change
General Smuts Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 What gets me is that theres no ticker tape or confetti at games anymore! Why is that? I blame Time Davies.

purpleronnie Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 What a load of boring old farts you all are, at least they are singing, pretty much rules out the other 99% who sit in silence at leicester games.
Manwell Pablo Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 Monday, Tuesday, Who the **** are Wednesday? Terrible.
Geo V Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 Talking of chants, a mate of mine who supports Liverpool was around last night and his mobile rang and it was one of their chants. It was a great chant about them having the best midfield in the world and he showed me this youtube To be honest I wish I didn't start the conversation about chants as he started singing there catologue of songs, load of them that were long that apparently the dosey scousers can manage but our fans find too difficult to do (ie singing some of the older longer songs like "When you're smiling"). I just find it incredible that with our fans, most who over the years have come out with some comedy classic chants against individuals, cant actually get a section of the support to stick together and persist in singing some proper City chants and instead they sit their in silence because we are shite or they are too embarrassed to open their mouths or wont go beyond a chant that has more than six words as it confuses. Something needs to be done because for me personally, I used to get more out of matchday in front of 9,000 home supporters against Barnsley or Hull back in the late 80s with shite players like Spearing on the pitch because we were all having a sing regardless of the shower of the pitch. Acoustics obviously helped in the old penns of the Filbo Kop but most dont even bother trying these days at the Walkers which to be honest, makes me embarrassed to be a Leicester fan looking around at people slating their team and not even attempting to sing.

Finnegan Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 Doesn't help when there's no bastard else in your part of the ground, though, to be fair. <_<
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 Monday, Tuesday, Who the **** are Wednesday?Terrible. I managed to come up with a Top 5 Worst Chants thread for the Wolves home game last season, would love someone to find that again.
Trumpet Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 They sing it at the top of D2, its quite embarrasing really, its supposed to be a whole stand effort, not the right side of the block. Im in E2, so when i hear the "We're the right siiiide", coming from the left of me (bearing in mind i sit slightly to the left of the goal), its cringe worthy.

There's isolated pockets of singers dotted along the back of the Kop who are prepared to start the songs off but the problem is people being bothered to join in. Nobody seems to want to as they would rather sit there moaning or eating their sandwiches

Manwell Pablo Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 I managed to come up with a Top 5 Worst Chants thread for the Wolves home game last season, would love someone to find that again. That game was a disgrace. Surrounded by morons.
Finnegan Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 C2 And I'm actually contemplating a half season ticket to sit there.
Milans Foxes Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 Was it only me who was getting annoyed when at the Barnsley game I think, at 0-0 or 1-0 up, a load of people at the back of F1/E3 kept counting down from 10,9,8,7..... and trying to start a mexican wave. They tried it about ten times and there were only about 8 of them doing it. It was embarassing. No offence if it was any of you lot on here but people were just telling them to shut up. Fair enough, Mexican Waves are fun when we are like 3-0 up when pushing for promotion but at the current situation, it was cringeworthy.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 And I'm actually contemplating a half season ticket to sit there. You with the old man? If not, come up with us. Loads of space.
The People's Hero Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 Sod the season ticket - move to Maidstone and enjoy beers at Flat de James.
morris1234 Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 theres tonnes but for me personally. 1)in d2 you always get the same people singing 'e-i-e-i-e-i-o up the football league we go' at kick off err go home please. and then they think they are so funny and inventive when we concede a goal - 'down the football league we go' ha fukin ha! and of course these are the ones that leave 10 mins early even when were winning. 2) the cricket club! the people that turn up with their flasks and sandwiches and have a go at you for singing and standing up. i say do one before those prawn sandwiches find your back side. and then they just randomly start saying leicester (trying to shout it). hmmm theres some inventive buggers in this cty. and no3) the most annoying one, the second hand chavs! they are the chavs that are so crap at being chavs. they think they are bad men sneaking in wkd's and start blubbering the words to all the songs. but when they start banging on the boards at the back in the kop, yeah thats fine but when you kick my chair thats annoyin!!! and breath
SamL Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 That game was a disgrace. Surrounded by morons. Ah yes, the Wolves game in N block. Boing boing...
Manwell Pablo Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 Ah yes, the Wolves game in N block. Boing boing... Proof in any were needed that sitting the singers next to the away fans really does improve the atmosphere. Ah yes, the Wolves game in N block. Boing boing...

Hope you weren't implying everybody who bangs on the back of the Kop are chavs
morris1234 Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 I bang on the boards at the back of the Kop and i'm no chav. Hope you weren't implying everybody who bangs on the back of the Kop are chavs no course not no because i do bang on the boards aswell when im right at the back but im not bothered about that its just when they kick my chair!
Kilworthfox Posted 5 December 2007 Posted 5 December 2007 There's isolated pockets of singers dotted along the back of the Kop who are prepared to start the songs off but the problem is people being bothered to join in. Nobody seems to want to as they would rather sit there moaning or eating their sandwiches That is exactly the reason why i moved away from the kop. People who sit in there make out its the greatest and and call you a chav if your in L1 but in fact why don't they sing themselves? They don't sit in the kop its the south stand! The kop died when we left filbo fact, the south stand is full of oldies sitting on their hands.
