Kitchandro Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Nigel hates the plastics as well. He made us forfeit this game just to piss them off! Good old Nige, great trolling.
tomn8 Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 So please do enlighten me to what you would class a real fan? Just because you don't have a season ticket doesn't mean you don't love your club. I for one travel from Norfolk so can't make every game due to work... Does that make me a so called plastic fan???
C-man Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Can't get my head around people leaving early when we are supposed to be celebrating promotion. Having said that, the attitude of most that stayed was far more disgraceful. Sitting there in silence (other than to criticise these so-called 'part-timers' for simply being there - whether they were actually singing or not is impossible to tell) for 80 mins and then suddenly waking up just to vilify those that left. No, not on for me. If this is what next year is going to be like, I'm out.
Stadt Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 I left early, I didn't boo, I didn't jeer, I left early mostly because my dad did and I go with my dad but also because that performance was disgusting and completely unacceptable - I went to the Boro game last season, that's what separates the plastic from the actual.
Buggsteam Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 I agree to some extent with op. However I've only managed to get to 6 home games this season and 2 away. The 4 of the home games I've been to I was made to feel uncomfortable with the fans around me as I've not been seen in those seats before and could hear jibes of plastic fan etc. I've been a Leicester fan for over 30 years and was a season ticket holder every season when I lived in Leicester in the days of Filbert street. Now I have to work every other weekend and live a fair distance away and have a young family to look after. When I'm at games I never leave till the final whistle and not once have I booed or slated the team at a game. Does this make me any less of a supporter because I can't get to every game. If so the game and team I love has changed so much. I a fox and I respect all other foxes and jealous and respect those that can get to every game. However to be called plastic, just because I'm no longer a sth is a joke.

fantastic_mr_fox Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 looking at some of these posts of fans ranting at other fans - i do really thing that alot of our younger football fans have been slightly brainwashed to always find a way to lash out at others in rather a paranoid way, demonstrating a superiority complex - I don't even thing these "plastic fans" actually exist - its all in the mind. I blame twitter and too much sugar
Jakemoore Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 I won't be home until 2 ish! But tonight was so worth it! Cracking atmosphere, so proud! Foook the haters
hackneyfox Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Harry - LCFC, on 08 Apr 2014 - 10:20 PM, said:Maybe tonight will have discouraged them not to come again. Hope so. Won't you be embarrassed with crowds of 23k in the premier? It's football, some of us go for years on end whatever the result, some turn up for success and the chance to see Premier teams, guess which one means we 're headed in the right direction? I do know what you mean though
Kitchandro Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 So please do enlighten me to what you would class a real fan? Just because you don't have a season ticket doesn't mean you don't love your club. I for one travel from Norfolk so can't make every game due to work... Does that make me a so called plastic fan??? No you fool you're a plastic fan if you only turn up because we've got promoted (and let's not pretend there weren't a good few thousand of that kind tonight) and then just moan and get angry and boo the whole way through. A lot of our fans really do have anger issues. They lose their rag at matches way too easily, after a few missed passes they just can't contain themselves. There's this one woman near me who's like that, it's really annoying. Was I the only one who wasn't THAT bothered that we were losing? I was disappointed, very disappointed with the way we turned up like it was a friendly and it was ok to be hungover (well, when you're on the fizzy stuff in training you know you've not prepared professionally) but I wasn't going to get angry about it. I was more annoyed that we couldn't create an atmosphere again, until we went 4-0 down that is.
StanSP Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Not saying it's right that people glory-hunt and become band-wagoners, but there's gonna be a fvckload of them next season, inevitably.
fantastic_mr_fox Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 "A lot of our fans really do have anger issues." Yes - and do you see the irony with that statement? Look at some of the posts above...some people channel their anger towards the team, the catering, the state of the loos, whilst others decide to lash out at paying fans - if I go to the theatre I don't sit there openly slating people who arrive late or who decide that they aren't enjoying the show - people are different in their thoughts and behaviour - we can't all be clones ffs

However to be called plastic, just because I'm no longer a sth is a joke. Honestly, so bored of this 'I can't get to this and that game for these reasons so don't call me a plastic etc'. Stop taking everything so personally. When did anyone say 'if you live outside Leicester and don't have a season ticket, you're a plastic'? Join us, why don't you, in condemning the tossers that have only turned up tonight because we're promoted and then have the nerve to start giving our team stick before leaving early.
lcfcfan23 Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 hardly heard any booing tbh. and as for leaving early. people can leave wen they want and it doesnt effect you. shouldnt base your life around moaning on a forum, its very sad really
KFS Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Wait, what are people classing as plastic? I'm thinking closet United fans who're getting a feel for the place before they watch their real team? And kids who are overly obsessed with FIFA but don't take an interest in real football? That's a plastic for me, and people like that wind me up. I don't know how you can defend someone like that?

I blame twitter and too much sugar Yep, it's the same kind of fan who has moaned about other fans booing numerous times over the last few years, including when we've been totally shit and only the supposed 'real fans' were turning up. These high horsemen will always find some excuse to be spiteful towards others.
Mark_w Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 hardly heard any booing tbh. and as for leaving early. people can leave wen they want and it doesnt effect you. shouldnt base your life around moaning on a forum, its very sad really Then why are you on a forum moaning about people moaning?
tomn8 Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Surely we are pushing away the future fans of the club by not wanting a new influx of fans. Id rather have a full ground week in week rather than a ground full of season ticket holders who feel that they are somehow better than the fan who can't make it every week
Guest MattP Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Thought all the tossers leaving tonight was the best thing that happened. Revved up the crowd for the last 5 minutes or so and for the first time all night we actually started to appreciate and enjoy what we have achieved this season.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Shit atmosphere first half, second half much better especially when the fickle fans left at 4-0 down Proud to be a city fan especially in that last 10 minutes or so
stuartn27 Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 To right...bet none of them been to away game all season The cold night in Sheffield on a Tuesday Having a bloody cold for a week The long drives home Getting to bed at 1-2 in the morning Bye bye part timers

Guest bennytwohats Posted 8 April 2014 Posted 8 April 2014 Sorry but there is a lot of self-righteous shit being posted in this thread. It's natural that some people go to all the games, some people go to the odd one now and then - obviously tonight was going to draw a lot that go now and then. Some people are more into it than others - if people want to go early let them, personally I found the booing your own fans part more disappointing than the people leaving early. Get behind the team, not on the backs of others who either aren't as in to it as you are (or heaven forbid some who might have valid reasons for leaving early - as some do every single game, more so on the late kick offs). It's just a game, it's meant to be enjoyable. I had a cracking night despite the woeful performance/scoreline. And yes I stayed until the end - not that doing so wasn't also a massive anti-climax!
