MC Prussian Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Really? There are 22 clubs in our league who'd gladly swap grounds with us, and plenty from the leagues above as well. As for atmosphere, let's see what it's like when we clinch the title in front of a packed house. I'd like to see the old days coming back, with people even standing on the rooftop to follow the game! As for "shit" ground, it's all about the atmosphere! I was merely referring to the fact that we already know we're not famous for coming up with a lot and lasting chants at home because the design of the stadium suffocates all attempts of doing so. Like other "big club" followers, some Leeds fans are trying to taunt us by telling us something we already know.

Couldn't agree with you more about the atmosphere comments though. I think I've been rejected by WACCOE. I tried registering under the name 'A White in Essex' but I think the admin turned me down. Now to try a username that's a bit more subtle.
Katy Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Whenever we go there we basically turn into into a home venue anyway. Stovkport for example. A well thought out and written post. 10 on 10.

Babylon Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Is this the 1920s? That would be brilliant. Try end of the 2001 season.
Ultra Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Haha that is pretty good.Too much time on your hands? No, just access to the Manyoo songbook. It's similar to a song they sing (with far more verses) about Man City.

Yep, that's where it came from, I just changed some of the words & deleted all the verses that weren't appropriate for this particular MASSIVE club

As for atmosphere, let's see what it's like when we clinch the title in front of a packed house. There's a difference between clubs and fans. None of my mates that support other teams in this division would want to move to the Walkers in a million years, although no doubt the chairmen of such clubs would cream themselves silly over the opportunity. I'm sure if we do win the league in front of a full house it'll be better than normal but probably won't even compare to what 18,000 used to create for a mid-table, mid-season match at that ground we're not supposed to mention because we're "living in the past."

Maybe the Walkers is just a sympton rather than the cause? With the way football's going (more expensive, more family orientated crowds etc etc plus our relegation woes) who's to say that the atmosphere wouldn't have declined at Filbert Street as well? Just thinking out loud really.

Just thinking out loud really. No no I agree. I posted previously on here that the only real silver lining about Filbo closing when it did was that it allows us to remember it as a place that always had a cracking atmosphere because in reality it probably would have lost a bit of its buzz in the past few years as most grounds have. However, it certainly wouldn't haven't descended into anything nearly as embarrassing as what we have at the Walkers. Also,whether or what it would have done, I don't think it's pointless nostalgia to talk about the atmosphere at Filbo there because we can use it as a marker for what we need to acheive nowadays.

C-man Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 I've been trying my hardest to avoid saying anything with regards to Leeds, but my patience has been broken by some simply ridiculous postings on both this forum and WACCOE. Some of the Leicester fans posting on there are just as embarrassing as their complete ignorance to every other club in this division. Calling us 'tinpot' for example. It's the most overused, shit phrase in football. They might not care about us, or any of the other 22 clubs in League One, but fans of all them clubs do. I doubt they go to games thinking their team is 'tinpot' and that they shouldn't be on the same pitch as Leeds. Yes, they probably have a bigger fanbase than every other club in this division put together, but their city is over twice the size of ours and the third biggest in the U.K. For a one club city of that size, and no Rugby side (in the winter) to be proud of, to have a third division team is quite pathetic, and their fans know it. I still think that they try to cover up their embarrasment of being in this league. Most fans go with the constant reminders of attendance statistics, like saying 'We sold 5000 for MK Dons', completely failing to realise that they were beaten 3-1 on the day. Sheffield Wednesday were like it when they were in this division, until they noticed they were 1 place away from falling into League 2. The others go with tedious 'Glorious Past' reminders. '18 years ago we won the 1st Division, and 33 years ago we won the FA Cup, ever won that?'. Nope, but you've just lost 1-0 to Histon. Are they tinpot too? Finally, there's the complete and utter ignorance for why fans sing 'We all hate Leeds Scum'. Personally, I think that they think fans of other teams sing it because they supposedly are in awe of how Leeds are such a massive club. They really don't realise that it has something to do with their NF and BNP fan links in the Eighties, their style of play in the Seventies and utter arrogance in the modern day. With us, they can't understand why we sing it because some of our clueless, ignorant, juvenile (Rather like Leeds fans) fans made references to Turkey, completely forgetting that they had sang 'Town full of Pakis' only minutes before. Oh, and their delusion that they still think they can catch us from 18 points behind despite us dropping only 18 points all season so far just makes me laugh. I really hope that some of their fans (who really don't care about us at all) happen to be scrolling through this thread and see this post. I just know that their reaction will have something to do with me being an 'inbred follower of a nothing club.'

I just know that their reaction will have something to do with me being an 'inbred follower of a nothing club.' Absolutely spot on with the last point, if there's one thing we have learned it's that Leeds fans are generally far too unintelligent to be able to respond with valid comments. If we're a nothing club, what are they doing 18 points behind us? That fact says far more about Leeds' prospects for the near future than ours. I doubt Leeds fans will respond to your post, there is far too much sense within it for them to be able to grasp and even if they were to respond, any reply would inevitability be littered with expletives. Not the brightest bunch are they?
Corky Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 There are a lot of fans out there (Derby, Forest, Leeds) who don't care about us yet try to hijack our polls, sign up to our messageboards and take the proverbial when we struggle. I think they should decide what they think, because we are getting a lot of interest from people who couldn't give two shits about us, or so we are told.

I'd say most of them would struggle to spell a-m-b-i-v-a-l-e-n-t and b-e-h-a-v-i-o-ur in the same sentence correctly, let alone grasp the true meaning once both words are put together.
MC Prussian Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 never got into catch 22,, choose that and one flew oer cuckoos nest for english lit. coursework a-level, didnt read bvoth properly, but i think one flew over cuckoos nest seemed easier read. Poetry in its purest form. :laugh: (Sorry, just couldn't resist )
