In other words they hate singing sections and they'll stamp out little ones if they can, but haven't got the power/balls to mess with a big section.

i don't think they hate singing sections.

With the Charlton game fast approaching we thought we’d take the opportunity to give you a quick update on how plans are coming along.

Firstly, numbers. Thanks to those of you who have been in touch with us to confirm your participation on Saturday. As far as our records show there will be at least 80 of us present on the day. We are hopeful that more will join us before the weekend and some may even migrate over on the day.

The pre-match plan is for an 11.30am start in the Kings Head, just off New Walk. For those who need directions, please follow the link: http://www.thekingsleicester.co.uk/findus.html. We will most likely head on to the Swan & Rushes en route to the ground, where we aim to take up our seats for 2.30pm.

A couple of things to remember:

- We all want this to work long-term and, as such, it is important that we maintain a healthy relationship with the club and match day stewards. Union FS do not want the group to suffer based on the behaviour of its individual members or non-members. Needless to say, enthusiasm is required to make this work, but please remain respectful at all times towards stewards as any negativity in this regard is detrimental and likely to be used against us in the future.

- Bring your singing voices!!

Any queries then please drop us a line at this email address or refer to the Minutes from our first meeting for further information: http://filbospirit.wordpress.com/2014/01/02/minutes-from-our-first-meeting/

Look forward to meeting you all on Saturday,

Union FS

Not at all. I've already booked tickets in SK1 and I hope it's a success. I've raised merely one concern about the positioning of the said singing section. I did ask the question about other home games and how they would differ from a 'trial match' because I genuinely didn't understand fully.

 

It's naive to think the club are going to be in full support of this, which is why I have suggested that the group should not try to involve the club. If it is to be a success we will not need any of their help anyway.

 

This can work but it needs to catch fire pretty quickly. There were several reasons for the Fosse Boys' failure but the bottom line of all of it was it didn't grow fast enough and as a result it never looked attractive to prospective standers/singers around the ground.

I asked him that and he reckoned because there weren't enough of them they were more of an annoyance and were putting people off going in that corner, its about bums on seats at the end of the day. His words not mine.

Not that I want to re-open closed chapters, but if that was the case they probably shouldn't have started checking tickets seven home games into the season, preventing anyone who was curious from joining us before committing to moving their tickets. Expansion was pretty much impossible after that.

It's still simple if the club would actually recognise the atmosphere is s... Just compare to the trees the other Wednesday, all sides sing which creates a hostile atmosphere, for visiting teams/supporters. Best way I see it is move family stand to the west stand lower, still have access to the megastore. Make the old family stand a singing only stand, will then get the KP rocking. Any thoughts?

 

lol

 

As much as that's what us the fans may want, it's exactly what the club won't want!

You coming to the pub before the game?

Are you coming Mike?

FYI - the group was brought up at the FCC Meeting last night. Although there wasn't too much said on the matter, the club are aware of the plans and what's happening on Saturday. I imagine it will be closely monitored but the view didn't seem negative. I'm sure Union FS are aware, but Jim said he and Barclay will be meeting with them in due course.

Hopefully that means the stewards will just let us get on with it!

But to be fair, I think the ones currently in SK1 aren't any different in that regard as there isn't too many of them. We aren't singing as many new songs as they did though.

In other words they hate singing sections and they'll stamp out little ones if they can, but haven't got the power/balls to mess with a big section.

 

That isn't true though. Like I say, there's a similar number of us to the Fosse Boys and they've generally been fine with us.

I think it's fair to say Galatasaray fans know how to make an atmosphere. There must be a Turkish community in Leicester we can integrate into the East stand........

 

They're as passionate as any fanbase I can name, but sod have any association with a fanbase like that.

No probs. Row PP I think, can't remember exactly which seats.
