Fosse Boys - Leicester City Ultras

[1964FOX]

Virage Auteuil is left leaning and has a lot of black and Arab fans, Kop Boulonge and especially the Boulonge Boys ultras are right wing and racists, so they just dont get on.

Your knowledge is enviable - I declare you to be 'Master Ultra'

[Lillehamring]

i found my old thread about Malmo, it's quite interesting to read pre-fosse boys debate on standing and ultras

For me personally L1 singing about us is a good thing, there's no such thing as bad publicity

fosse boys start the wave

I certainly heard nothing from L/k about the Fosse boys, must have been very few..

As an old koppite I am very much in favour of the Fosse boys they are a throw back to the 60's Kop BUT I think you have to consider the best interests of our team.

I have transfered into K this season, and i think many others have too, specifically to try to re create some atmosphere. On Saturday it was much much better in L/K with good support and it looks promising.

I could see the fb's and it was obvious they were non stop, however, you could hear absolutely nothing and for all their efforts it did not seem to spark the jombies in the Kop.

It has taken years to get at least a start in L and K and, now just when it is starting to work, our best fans (fosse boys) have moved to a god forsaken corner and are at risk of wrecking everything already acheived.

Whats the point, for supporting the team, if it takes another five years for the fosse boys to grow to say 500-1000- in the meantime L and K will disappear and we still will not be able to hear from that corner.

Think about it, surely its better for the fosse boys to stay in L and K ( I know quite a few already are season ticket holders) and build up numbers until its worth moving en mass say for teh start of next year with good advance publicity. Another alternative would be for the club ro have a half page in the programme and on the web to make it easy and fast to transfer with content and explanation from the Fosse boys.

My only beef is speed of getting the idea going and what effect it has in the short term by splitting, again, our vocal support.

Why cant L and K have flags, scarves etc and be encouraged to share the aims of our Ultras- the raw material is there lets use it.

[Fosse Boy]

I appreciate what you're saying about L/K being an already existing vocal area of the ground but there are several reasons why we decided to choose an empty part of the ground to set up in. Firstly, it's easiest to get everyone in the group stood together. There'd be no guarantee we could do this in L/K. Secondly, there would be too many who'd be opposed to what we're doing (don't like the idea of flags/banners, not singing "Ingurlish" songs etc). Thirdly, from my observations of being in there, there don't seem to be many who are that receptive to the idea of singing old school or original chants, preferring instead to sing generic rubbish at the away fans (don't shoot me L/Kers, I know that's not everyone), so in summation it would just be too difficult to get going as a group there.

Also, thanks for the advice regarding possible publicity etc but when all's said and done we don't want to end up being a club sponsored singing section, we want to remain independent and true to the mentality on which we founded the group, so we don't intend to have the club advertise us in any way.

Thanks for referring to us as the "best fans" by the way but I'm not sure whether that assertion quite hold water yet. Maybe one day...

Dont get me wrong, i really enjoyed being part of it on Saturday, but my gut feeling is we some how need to attract more numbers. I'm sure you have already thought of this but If a few of us cant make a game then it will hit the Fosse Boys. I'm hoping after Saturday a few more people will join and the group will slowly expand but what will happen if either you or Arab cant make it? It was through your great efforts on Saturday which kept it all going.

It would be interesting to know if you have any plans on getting more numbers or are you relying on people to take note and come across at matches? Just that seeing all these impressive youtube of other ultras it makes me envious and i want it to happen here now!! You knock Stevenage but that video v Portsmouth is quite impressive!!

Keep it up, your doing a great job. Your enthusiasm and dedication for this is superb!!

Your third point simply isn't true

We do need more numbers, but we need the right people. things wont happen over night and this will take time. To have 30+ people standing behind the banner for our first home league match was unreal and we will continue to grow, but its quality over quantity and aslong as people continue to notice us in the corner going for it all game every game they will want to get involved. If i was in L1 on saturday and had nothing to do with the Fosse Boys and noticed them i would want to know what they were all about.

Saturday was the most i have ever sang at home, and i can't wait for the Reading game!

FORZA FOSSE BOYS!

[Fosse Boy]

Your third point simply isn't true

But it is, sadly. There seems to be too many in there who either don't know or plain don't want to sing traditional chants, and are content enough just to sing the daft "Eezeh" "Who are ya" type boring rubbish every week. I'm not doubting there are some who give it a go, but all too often they seem to be overriden by a majority who want to sing generic bullshit.

[LCFC-ARAB]

Your third point simply isn't true

Plenty of people like singing old school songs i agree with you on that one

but new songs?

We hate derby

we hate forest

who the fook are coventry

and

the maxi gradel shagging my wife song

they are the only 2 'new' songs i can think of being started in L1, i cant think of any others off the top of my head and they are hardly original

sadly this is true, just looks at player songs really only Steve Howard, Matty Fryatt, Paul Gallagher and jack Hobbs have a chant 3 are generic and the other is Walshies reincarnated, there isn't a hope in hell of any of the gems in the "new" chants" thread getting going in L1 as most contain far too many syllables for the type of dicks who'll happily sing "let him die" to an obviously badly injured player and then cheerio as he's stretchered off (remember their defenders and keeper wanted McDonald to stop but couldn't get his attention), when we should all be applauding him and wishing him a speedy recovery, as Liverpool fans did when Alan Smith had that terrible leg break at Anfield when playing for Man Utd.

I wish the Fosse boys well and hope they do succeed as it needs a sort of revolution to get the atmosphere into the Walkers, its not a case of getting it back it never had it to begin with, however I fear its destined to fail because the club will take any chance they get to jump on you and it'll only take 1 brain dead twat for them to argue they have the case for action to shut you down.

anyway boys good luck in getting bigger and better

[LCFC-ARAB]

Before anyone says it, i am a massive L1 head

i loved being in there the last 6 season or so, it was the closest thing i could get to what i want from going to football

but now the fosse boys has happened.... and its no secret that i love the eurpean style of support but i know its not for everyone!

[Houdini Logic]

I think your glasses may be slightly tinted.

At Middlesborough I would say less than 5 of the 90 minutes were spent singing at the away fans, which is a shame because the Scotland references (obviously pointing out Strachans recent buying habit) were pretty amusing.

I heard a lot of old songs and even a Lenny Glover one came out.

Also 'Last night a DJ saved my life' - not only new, but pretty damn funny

Firstly -

People weren't angry at the player and 9/10 times he would have been clapped off the pitch.

Fans were angry because Middlesborough played on regardless, though when they lost possession they were going crazy at Leicester for not putting the ball out.

Secoindly -

Do you believe that song was solely the work of people in L?!

[James.]

when we should all be applauding him and wishing him a speedy recovery, as Liverpool fans did when Alan Smith had that terrible leg break at Anfield when playing for Man Utd.

All the Liverpool fans apart from the ones that attacked his ambulance, obviously.

[C-man]

OK Houdini, I think it's clear you don't support the group but there's no need to turn it into an L1 debate. The Fosse Boys will have no effect on L1.

Clearly this is all my fault

I read this thread every day and rarely post becasue it's obvious any contrary or challenging opinions aren't welcome, but saying L1 don't sing old songs or new songs and spend the game antagonising away fans with 'generic rubbish'.

Clearly it's fine for the FBs to say that, but I'm not allowed to say 'that's not exactly what happened'.

fooking Joke

Nobody said anything about L1 antagonising the away fans, the 'who are ya' chanting and the 'easy' chanting was mentioned, i love banter with away fans, it is quality. but singing 'who are ya' isnt banter, and the less mentioned about 'easy' chant the better, i cant stand that 'soccer am told us to do it so we do' attitude.

The Fosse Boys arent against L1! and i don't L1 are against us

So, has a decision been reached about who are the 'bestest' fans yet?

[Bellend Sebastian]

'A' Block, West Stand.

West Side! Whoop, whoop!

[1964FOX]

Yes ALL the ones that support Leicester.

Im a massive supporter of city and im veryyyy passionate at games. I LOVED it when i seen you fosse boys singing all the way through with your scalves and flags. Thats how our support should be, the stories i heard from filbert street sounds like we had a mental atmosphere there so lets bring it back!!

How do we get involved with the fosse boys? ive got a few boys that would love to be part of it and do you go away games aswell?
