Ultra Posted 14 September 2010 Posted 14 September 2010 After the appalling treatment dished out by stewards at the Reading game, many eyes were focused on the Fosse Boys during the Foxes-Cardiff clash. As in previous games, the Fosse Boys gathered in the upper reaches of the furthest corner of SK1. A lone steward, clearly entrusted with the task of surveillance, watched benignly during the first half as the group sang, danced, and on occasion even sat down as per the agreement struck with senior club officials. It is to the enormous credit of the Fosse Boys that they remained disciplined and impeccably-behaved.They continued to sing incessantly in support of the team and played their part (along with Andy King) in creating the best atmosphere seen and heard in the Kop for some time.
ElectroJones Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 I thought you guys did a superb job this evening! I was sitting down in row H for the first half, but moved up to the seats a few rows in front of you at half time to join in with the vibe you were creating. I heard the commotion in the first half but didn't realise it was because they'd nicked your flag! Keep up the good work, the club are making themselves look stupid over this.
tomtom Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 Me and a few friends joined you at half time and really enjoyed the atmosphere and loved some of the songs you've created, .....bloody hell though I didn't realise you were all so young !!.. Haha
1964FOX Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 Ok it was me who gave our banner to the steward, there was no sinister action from the club it was taken so that their maintainance guys can fix it onto the Perspex behind where we stand for the QPR match. It was not wrenched off us it was handed freely by me to the steward who stood to the side and had a polite conversation with me about the issue before I retrieved the banner. Negotiations around achieving this had gone on before the game. If anyone has any issues with this then they can come and speak to me at the Counting House before the QPR match. I expect the club will honour their promise to carry out this action, if they don't then we can start talking about lack respect between the two parties.

James. Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 Ultra you fucking idiot. Staggering, absolutely staggering.
Finnegan Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 I'm waiting for Chapter 2, where the Lord Mayor's office come running in to save the poor Fosse Boy damsel and fight off the giant, Thai dragon.
Zingari Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 Fosse Boys should organise a mass Siam Corner menu burning day in protest
James. Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 What with Trousergate and now this Ultra is going to clean up at the Foxestalk end of year awards. Absolutely amazing stuff from our Lord Mayor.

Jay Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 That steward has always acted like a tool and it certainly looked to me like he took it from the Fosse Boys maybe he should have thought his timing out properly because it sounds like THIS time he got a load of shit and didn't deserve it!! even though on many occasions he has
Jon the Hat Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 See? I told you a councillor gets made Mayor to keep them out of the way... Don;t let the facts get in the way of a snap judgement Ultra. You follow this up!
Stig the Lawnmower Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 I'm a season ticket holder in SK2, and made an effort to look out for the fosse boys. what i saw was a bunch of lads standing, shouting and singing with complete disregard for every one else, including the stewards. it looked fukcing brilliant!!! seriously, I can't see any problem with flag waving where you are, you're not going to restrict anybody else's view are you? surely the club and stewards can see this? good luck lads, don' give up. by the way, i liked the gang bang at half time!
Poakey Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 Gutted i couldnt make this one but shall be there on Sat. How many Fosse Boys did we have for this one?

LCFC-ARAB Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 It was all a big misunderstanding, the stewards came over and shouted me to go talk to them, i refused because i know the stewards are sneaky bastards! and if i was on my own down stairs i'd probably have been chucked out! I still don't see why they would get the banner during the first half? bit of a stupid decision who over made it, which just caused a load of abuse to be thrown at the stewards. they dont want the aggro and are just doing what they are told bit annoyed watching the goals on skysports news, you can clearly see a flag pole being waved on the front row of the kop, why the fuck is everybody allowed to do what they want apart from us? that really pissed me off

Iwan is a Welshman Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 I'm over in L Block and I think you're efforts need to be commended. Last night the ground was fantastic for a midweek game after the start we've had. Long may it continue!
Ilkeston_Fox Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 I've felt better! Ahh well, same again Satdee
leftsideoverhere Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 Great work by the Fosse Boys, well noticed and commented on by several kop old hands near us last night. It can't be a coincidence that the atmosphere along the back of the kop was much better than it usually is. More people standing, bouncing after the goals, and roaring on their support. Obviously it helps that the team were playing so well, and managed to get the goals, but the example set by the Fosse Boys played its part, no question. Keep it up, and we could soon have, if not a whole kop end bouncing for 90 minutes, at least a kop that can present an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams.
Unabomber Posted 15 September 2010 Posted 15 September 2010 I was very impressed with the efforts by the Fosse boys last night. They managed to generate a great atmosphere throughout the whole Kop just by their non stop all dancing and all singing action in the corner. Also the numbers you had were impressive, there seemed to be a decent amount of you. Long may it continue and grow.
