Fosse Boys - Leicester City Ultras

[Callabinho]

VUVUZELA'S that's what we will use next year

[davieG]

I agree with what you say which is why we must do it properly and follow the clubs rules. We must show them we are a non confrontational group who are there to support our club very vocally and with passion. We need to get them on our side and then as the numbers grow and they begin to trust us we will get away with more. We have to remember they are just doing their job to ensure the safety of all the fans in the ground so if we don't do anything that flouts their rules they won't be able to stop us. They can't throw us out or ban us for being loud and passionate.(some stewards may try but at the end of the day they have rules of behavour as well and I would be happy to make a formal complaintagainst them if they are out of order). I may sound old and boring but it's the only way we will do it, experience tells me you get away with more if you get on with those who have the power.

Ok serious rant over come on Fosse Boys we CAN do it

Shame none of that was true with respect to the N block, who's only 'crime' was standing and the odd swear word. Let's hope their apparent easing off against standing prevails.

They are already banned from the ground

I often stand for long periods of the game swearing loudly in SK1 with no problems but accept your point as I am in my forties and with my wife so I am not perhaps percieved as a threat. I am still optomistic it can be done. My greatest concern at present is that they will not allow flag poles of any sort into the ground which will make it difficult to wave them although I do have a plan to get one in without being noticed.

To put it politely - not a cunting chance in hell.

they work best when covered in beer!

If you managed to piss off ultras with that how do you think the prawn sandwich brigade would take to it??

Constructive criticism always welcome.

Good effort lad, get it done

Oh and apparently cov fans throwing coins at us was our fault too. fook BARCLAY!

Lads, I'll be over there from October 2nd until mid November. Have been thanking the Gods for the last couple of hours in that there is a Leeds and a Swansea away game between these times. Just wondering how hard it will be to get tickets in the away bays for these games? As stated, incredibly keen to get along as it will be my first time in the UK etc and am looking to really get a look in and comparing it to our support down here in Australia and of course to see the boys in action. Will be bringing my Fosse flag with me, so any help would be ace.

Easy...we'll take about 1,5 tops for Leeds and 800 to Swansea. Both will poor atmospheres from our end.

At least Swansea, the away end is that big you'll have plenty of room.

THIS flag/pullover, even if it's only for pre-game.

Hi guys,

I don't post on here often, but i just had to regarding this topic.

What your doing is fantastic, I hope it takes off. I for one will be making my way to the counting house for 2pm for the Sunderland game. Leicester City has been crying out for something like this for home games.

I have a season ticket in L1, where are you boys thinking of sitting? I think it would be good if you were in and around the L1 area. Probably for selfish reasons though!

Oh and the flag designs look great! Good work.

[lcfc_jme]

I can't see why anybody should get ejected or banned??

I believe there are at least a couple of families getting involved in this which I think will help appease the powers that be, obviously if people start letting off flares etc. then I can see that will be the instant end of it, I think to keep this thing going at the Walkers it needs to be given a chance to get some momentum which means applying a degree of self control

N Block had people of all ages involved and was done completely through the club with the clubs' blessing. The club had the name and address of essentially every supporter in the area prior to every game as well. We were showered with coins by Coventry, had only 1 or 2 minor complaints (a couple of families upset about language) but were by and large extremely well behaved there. The club went back on their word and ejected two of the younger members of the group for little more than standing on the back row when everybody infront of them were stood, and after that the wheels came off.

There will be nothing you can do to prevent the powers that be - and by that I mean Kevin Barclay, the man EVERYONE behind the scenes at Leicester is laughably shit-scared of - getting arsey about what is being planned. Unless there is strength and unity in numbers, no amount of peaceful standing congregation will negate the threat of ejection and banning. Sad but true I'm afraid.

Shame none of that was true with respect to the N block, who's only 'crime' was standing and the odd swear word. Let's hope their apparent easing off against standing prevails.

I would hope that's the case, but seeing as a they already have a large number of standers in L1 and sporadic standing seemingly on the increase in other areas, I'm unsure as to whether they're going to turn a blind eye to another potentially mass-standing group. I'd like to be wrong but I highly doubt it..

It was, because our drum was "provocative" and "antagonising" to them - seriously. Yet Jobbers' drum - a MUCH bigger, MUCH louder drum is neither provocative nor antagonising, and is essential for atmosphere at the Walkers Stadium. The matchday politics and security control at our club is pathetic, and is in no small part down to Hypocrite Barclay's intimidation-aura.

Anyways, you boys know what I think of this from conversations and mentality away from this forum, and although I've come across as extremely sceptical and negative about the whole thing, I'm not; I'm just providing insight into what to expect and what I think could be a probable outcome. Make a success of it boys, I fully hope you do. Just be aware, is all..

I think its likely to be the corner of the Kop mate.

[Aleksz]

Looking forward to the Walkers being like that!

But seriously, good luck with this! I've always wished English games had a bit more of a European feel to them with the flags etc, so fingers crossed this all works out! I'm sure if some of the smaller teams can do it then we can!

1:40 onwards, do you have anything to that song

OH MAXI GRADEL

This my fear another group for the stewards to 'control' may be one group to many for them especially in an area that they might find difficult to control as it hasn't got the closed side of L1 or the mass of non-participating fans in the Kop that has a natural damping effect, assuming this is being set up in the G2, G1, SK1 area.

Lie you I wish them the best.

I do understand where you and lcfc_jme are coming from with respect to the stewarding issues. My take on it is that we shouldn't need to be controlled any differently to other people in the Kop as we're no where near the away fans, and therefore hardly trying to insight violence between us and them. The Kop are hardly going to have a pop at us and the same can be said for the East Stand. So where's the issue?

Is it so hard for this BARCLAY bloke to understand...leave us to it and we'll behave? (I'm guessing so). We just want to bounce around, sing, wave flags, scarves and banners, not start WW3.

The issue is nothing about any actual threat it's about perceived threat and control and Barclay has strong views on this. The specific point I'm making is whatever you believe you will be seen by Barclay as a potential threat that they will need to control giving them a 3rd group of 'threatening fans' they'll feel obliged to police in numbers, numbers they may not have over a longer period so they may feel inclined to snuff it out at birth.

In many respects you may actually stand more chance by setting up alongside the current kop 'massive' as you will then not be seen as a new 'threat' but rather as an expanding vocal kop.

Just to add I'm not trying demean your attempts far from it just as a long serving fan who's seen the gradual toning down of support and the ongoing increase in control I'm just fearful of you chances. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Might be right there. I know you're not trying to demean anything - just adding insight.

[Ilkeston_Fox]

I take it Palace away will be a FB outing? I don't fancy carrying my flags through Nottingham train station so I'm driving down to Leicester and getting the train from there. Are we meeting at the station and travelling together, then having a drinky or two in London? I know it's a way off but train tickets are nice and cheap at the min so it's to everyones benefit to be organised

This is an excellent point if we blend into the edge of the Kop we might get away with it. Plus the fact my seat is on the edge of the Kop I can say there are usually 100 empty spaces around me and the stewards there don't usually have a problem with standing and singing in my area (as I have said in an earlier post). There are only a few regulars near us so getting tickets would not be a problem.

[Bakey]

Don't mean to be having a go at people, but a lot of people are trying to get this to happen close to their allocated seats. But I cant really see the problem with either using it (your season ticket) to get into a different area of the ground, as stewards don't check the details of the season ticket they just rip out the correct ticket. Or just getting into the ground as usual and walking to everyone else.

I didn't think you could get form the East to the South stand and vice versa.

[Guest Bilo]

Kind of.

You can get to G block via the East Stand concourse with no problem, then you'd have to move over when in the seating area itself.

You just can't enter the South Stand staircases when you go in through the East turnstiles.

[LCFC-ARAB]

you can get into any part of the stadium with a season ticket

i have done it loads of times

you just go up to the turnstyle with the seaosn ticket already on the number of the game

they rip it and let you in

they have never once flipped to teh front of the book to check where i sit

i could get the cheapest season ticket and go sit in an empty seat in the west stand if i wanted too

it really is easy

and thats what i will be doing for the first few games of the seaosn till i move mine officialy with the club

My uncle's mate does this, he buys the 'Just the Ticket' seats, then one game he'll go in the kop, next he'll be sitting next to us. It's hilarious.

Have you had a word with the club about the Flags and stuff Arab?
