Leicester_Loyal Posted 26 April 2011 Posted 26 April 2011 I did like that ''In Mackay We Trust'' Banner from the main stand when that Yellow Order Group (i think) raised it up before kick off. I thought it looked great. All their banners and flags look pretty neat in my opinion, better than most other clubs we've had down at the Walkers.
Phoebe1234 Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Im the girl you were giving abuse to. Thanks for the banter !
ACF Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 Traditionally, the Kop is the place where the noise should come from, that's why they set up there. However, noise is noise, atmosphere is atmosphere!
ian_marshall Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 I have a lot of respect for the effort and commitment that the Fosse Boys have shown this season against much adversity, however at present I would not join the group as I do not like their image. Firstly, their name does their members no favours whatsoever. It seems that most people view them as an uprising of youngsters, so why emphasise this point by claiming to be 'Boys'. I genuinely think this holds back many fans as you want to make opposition fans work for the opportunity to throw abuse at you, not offer it on a plate. Secondly, their logo looks pathetic. My 4 year old niece could draw a more impressive logo than that. Again for credibility sake they should have given more thought to this as it makes the group look amateurish. In addition, as mentioned by another poster on here their insistence initially on avoiding traditional songs and adopting a European approach detached them from the average fan, creating what often seems like an elitist group. Finally, I was originally considering joining the group when it was recruiting at the start of last season but wasn't impressed with the way that some members laid down the law insisting that unless you could commit to attending a pre and post match assembly in the Counting House you were not welcome. Personally, whilst I'd like to get involved in the group I do not have the time to socialise week in week out due other commitments, so until this changes I'm afraid I'm out. Despite all of the above I wish the group well and as I originally stated I have a lot of respect for the fact that they are trying to make an effort to change the atmosphere at the ground.
davieG Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 I really think the Fosse Boys would be better off setting up in J2 or something. That way they would be creatng some sort of domino effect. The way I see it is, the atmosphere is really good in L and K - then it's just the top few rows of J3 that sing, and even less in J2 and J1. I know that in that corner they are next to the Kop but the Kop isn't really very good compared to the Eat Stand, no offence to anyone in there. By being in J or maybe even H, they would not be totally isolated but at the same time wouldn't be smack bang in the middle of the atmosphere (which would be a bit pointless considering they are trying to spread the atmosphere around). I just think they are way too isolated in that corner and it is never going to make a big difference. You are never going to get the whole ground singing, I think a more realistic target would be trying to get the majority of the East Stand singing. For as long standing has been 'ignored' there's only been a few in the centre back of the kop standing but it's noticeable that as this season has progressed more and more are standing at the back of the Kop and it's now stretches almost all the way across at the back so there is only a small gap between these and the Fosse Boys. I see no reason why with more in the Fosse Boys why that shouldn't eventually join up and hopefully press further down the stand. On it's day the Kop has been much more vocal this season than many of the previous ones. Just to clarify I'm not in the Kop but sit in the C block in the corner.
Tommeh Posted 27 April 2011 Posted 27 April 2011 We have actually got a group ourselves called 'The Yellow Order'. They were the lot at the back yesterday who started the Poznan and the Hooker songs. They have only been going for 5 months now but despite alot of people turning their noses up at them to start with, many people have grown to like them. They have introduced quite a few new songs and similarly to FB made their own scarves. The Yellow Order took a bit of stick from alot of other groups because they cooperate with the club really well, and they were originally set up in the name of 'Watford Ultras' which was changed because of the modern day meaning of the term 'Ultras'. Groups like the Holmesdale Fanatics have made it so that 'Ultras' behave in a similar fashion to firms. They just bully people wherever they go. They have at least 100 that stand in the top right hand corner of the main home stand now at vicarage road, and I think they even put on their own coach yesterday. FB clearly have potential with some of the fans you have in L1, but I don't think they help themselves by being so far away. They a look a little bit silly from the away stand. It would be interesting to hear what you thought of our 'Yellow Order' lot yesterday. The simple reason is that our away support doesn't need any sort of group or ultra scene to aid it, behind Leeds obviously we're about the best swain the championship. The fosse boys also realise that L and K blocks don't need them either as they stand and make noise as it is. As I understand it the fosse boys are located up there to have a laugh and a bounce by themselves whilst encouraging the Kop to sing more when they can. Not a fan of ultra scene in this country, but if you feel your support needs it then fairplay. Ours doesn't which is why the fosse boys have kept clear of the main blocks and mainly blended in with other fans away.

It would be interesting to hear what you thought of our 'Yellow Order' lot yesterday. i don't think they have. The negative connotations of the term 'ultras' nowdays owes quite a bit to the ignorance of the british media, who've seen groups of hooligans getting mixed up in ultra groups and immediately tarred all ultras with the same brush. Reason Im not involved is because all clubs are forming ultra groups, Ultras are not associated with this country and look a bit out of place to me. See them as 'wannabees'. Want to keep the heritage of the English fans etc. The ultra scene on the continent, in part at least, took it's inspiration from the english fan mentality, by ultra groups forming in this country it's just the cycle coming full circle and returning the heritage to the grounds.

I abolsutely love the banter. it makes my day - some people do take it to far & they would get the v's - but they seemed to be a good group of lads up for a laugh - get them involved tell them to add me on facebook.

Again, I'm afraid people have massive misconceptions about what the group stand for (the idea that we want to act continental for the sake of being continental could not be more detatched from the truth), in reality we're about uniting and standing for a common set of principles - though we're happy for people stand with even if they don't buy into that and just want to stand and sing for 90 minutes. See this thread for what we're aiming to achieve in the short term. There's no reason this can't happen and a united block of singers could achieve so much more than the back rows spread out as is the present situation! http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=71992&st=0&p=1830867&hl=move&fromsearch=1entry1830867 Also check out our forum: http://z15.invisionfree.com/FosseBoys/index.php?act=idx

It’s common sense that it’s easier to get an atmosphere going if we are spreading downwards rather than having just a few rows in every block, so now is the time for us to make this happen. The thing is though, I can't really see the benefit of people in L or K moving to that corner. They're already a good singing block, perfectly placed next to the away fans. If they move to where you are they are counting on a large number of other people to follow them for them to experience a similar atmosphere to what they already have. I don't want to be critical I just can't see it having the impact that you hope for, mainly because the mentality of the majority of fans in the stadium is different from what it used to be. You seem to resent the Stadium and yes it could have been designed better but the problem is really that people's attitudes are different in the modern age, and it's very difficult to change that.

When I posted that it was more aimed at the people in L/K who were moaning at the atmosphere. Will admit it has picked up there in the last few games but I still think there's value in getting a solid block together in the Kop rather than being spread out. What a load of shyte. On what are you basing that? It's well-known that Italian fans in the 60s took great inspiration from English supporters and then developed that passion to fit their own culture, which then spread across the continent.

Ignorance towards your post? I'm sorry but if you're going to bait me on with daft comments about how we supposedly coerce people to a pub or they're not allowed to join and how you think our logo's shit how exactly do you expect me to react? I'm merely setting the record straight is all. Forcing people to come and meet with us pre and post-match has never been and will never be something we insist upon. Encourage? Absolutely, after all we're all Leicester and there's no reason we shouldn't bond outside the ground as well as inside. But force? Never. What would be the point? Will I admit that in the past some members of the group have spoken out of turn? Yes. Can I see why that would put people off moving to stand with us? Again, yes. But it does irk me a little when people start getting these chips on their shoulders based on their own warped interpretations of what we as a group stand for. By the way, you would be welcome any time to come and stand with us as would anyone on here. Find out what we're actually about before judgin us on the internet!
