Guest Bilo Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 Don't know but 22 copies of this should have been in the post as a response to the complaints.
LCFC-ARAB Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 I do wonder if the people who complained have seen any of the Mercurys articles or any online threads and if they still think what they did was right my money is that they do still think what they did was right

That's what sad old twunts do all day. Write letters.
haraven Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 It's weird indeed, must be the first time in history something like this has happened. Are we sure it has happened? *melodramatic and conspiratory voice* With all the other weird stuff going around with the stewards I have at least a little doubt as how many really complained about noise - unless someone ganged up together to make the life of the Fosse Boys and cheering fans hard.
Houdini Logic Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 Call it a hunch - but I'd put money on it that they are the people who boo the team off the pitch
h1210 Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 Call it a hunch - but I'd put money on them not existing

bettso Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 I think you're right what's stopping someone at the club just typing some random stuff on a computer and printing it out and saying it was a complaint letter? Completely agree. Complaining about noise at a football ground would be like complaining to a cinema that the lights are low. Then again some Leicester fans do appear to be thick as pigshit.
carterfox90 Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 as the top post says if they are kicked out for being to noisy we really have reached new depths in football i sit near them & they get the rest of the old foggys sitting near me actually chanting so they are doing great

Guest BlueBrett Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 what's stopping someone at the club just typing some random stuff on a computer and printing it out and saying it was a complaint letter? But whyyy though? I really don't get it. You would have thought that the kind of people who apply for jobs at football clubs would be the same people who ENJOY football and the feeling of being part of a like-minded collective. I know recent events suggest otherwise but to me that is just baffling. It is pretty clear though that something switched in the club's attitude to the FB between the Middlesborough game and Reading. There was a whole group of stewards (one little twat in particular) who barely watched a second of the football and instead just stood staring at the FB in the hope that they might be able to cause some trouble for them. I can only think this must have been related to complaints. If not then what kind of world do we live in?! Either way fook the complainers, fook Kevin Barclay and fook miserable antagonistic stewards.

Just generic business/marketing people thinking of ways to make more money from their 'customers'.
AndyBrew Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 there are definately people that would complain, like the chap behind the Fosse Boys at the Reading game who appeared to be goading for a fight, he was sat with his mrs on the back row very aggresive and mardy, funny how he shut the fook up when the kopites came over all of a sudden he had nothing to say on the matter then there was another older chap who said we should all shut up and sit down, and he wouldn't mind but we only knew four songs, I said that was four more than he could seem to remember so my point is that there are definitely people out there that simply don't want the Fosse Boys to succeed, a minority in my experience but they do exist.
unreachable Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 I don't personally know the guys representing the Fosse Boys but hope that they will read up the information on the websites of the Football Licensing Authority http://www.flaweb.org.uk/docs/publications/pubs/stndinst.php and the Football Supporters Federation website relating to safe standing. If councillors of Leicester City Council are contacted they might be able to help on understanding the ground's Safety Certificate. Also can the petition be beefed up by setting out what the Fosse Boys' aims and objectives are - this will help those who haven't read through thre numerous threads (including ordinary fans and Leicester Mercury readers) what they stand for? Hopefully the club will deal with all fans who stand/wish to stand equally.

Personal opinion is that keeping it simple provides a good place for people to register their support for the idea without getting involved of the intricate details and any politics

You would have to start again wouldn't you?
unreachable Posted 1 September 2010 Posted 1 September 2010 The petition hasn't been set up by members of Fosse Boys. Just other City fans who support us. I understand. But you can still be a Fosse Boy and sign it - is that right?

Did you intend to set up your own argument? You'd imagine people wouldn't sign this unless they understood what the Fosse Boys are about and so any additional information would be for the benefit of uninformed visitors. I would understand if it changed to 'sign this if you hate the Fosse Boys and want them banned' (uh-oh, found out!) You also don't need to change the text, you could just add articles

You also don't need to change the text, you could just add articles I have been accused of that in the past! Just noticed a comment on Bentley's Roof saying that someone wouldn't sign because there was no detail. I was just thinking of how the petition can be used at the Fosse Boys' meeting on Friday when the club could raise the same point that there was no detail in the petition. The crux of the matter seems to be that the club needs to be persuaded to change its view on the need to enforce the ban on "persistent standing".

I welcome people not signing this without knowing the detail - I would never sign a petition without knowing the ins and outs of a subject. If people do their research and favour what the Fosse boys are doing then they can sign this to 'show your support for Leicester City's Fosse Boys'. You'll notice that ballot papers do not include a manifesto - you'd hope by the point of signing the voter would have made their own decision
