Plaudits for our Atmosphere, let's keep it up

it wasn't after it was in the middle of it and yes sometimes the boys up in that corner do seem a tad precious

If that's what people want to believe then they can but I really don't think during a live football game that people think like that 'I don't like that song, let's sing over it' 

 

At the end of the debate, if 30 folk in that corner singing 'Riyad Mahrez' could oversing a load of the stadium with 'don't sell knockaert' then there's a problem.

 

It must have been some effort from the 30 to 50 in that corner to make it audible enough or who knows maybe others just joined in...enjoy their Saturday at the football, like what happens naturally in a football crowd week after week. Rather than being bothered about some kind of weird inner rivalry or what someone wears around his eyes.

I fail to see where they've called themselves Ultras at any point. 

 

Our atmosphere has been appalling ever since leaving Filbert Street and some people are hell bent on insulting some lads for trying and investing alot of their time. 

 

Sit in SK1 one myself and you don't hear much from other stands because the acoustics in our stadium are poor. This point stands for people sitting in L1 or SK4 not being able to hear the UFS guys. Suppose it's easier to jump to conclusions and bring down anyone making an effort. ?

Our home support hasn't been appalling at all for the last couple of years.

I'm in SK2 the Knockaert song was still going when the Mahrez chant started, that's a fact

I'm in SK1, assuming we're playing a "I'm closer that you game". 

 

What youre saying isn't true from where I was standing. Suppose the noise around you is different and the issue could lie with the song dying off in your direction

I'm not saying it was premeditated or anything but they did start the Mahrez song, at that exact moment

That's a complete lie Jimmy. 

 

The Mahrez chant started after the Knockaert celebrations concluded. Personally it's shambolic that you seem so offended because Leicester fans wanted to sing about a current Leicester player instead of a previous one. Jeez we're a weird bunch

Nah your wrong, it was still going.

no it sounded like the Knockaert chant was just getting into full swing when I heard the Mahrez chant start, its not a major issue just pointing out what I heard

Our atmosphere has been generally poor for the 15 years we've been here. Although improved in recent years I agree. 

 

From where I was in SK1 it's not the case. As I said, depends where you're stood

Matter of perspective from different locations but yeah small issue at best

Fair enough. As anyone considered it might have had something to do with what happened on the pitch? 

 

Maybe Mahrez was once again pulling the pants down of a Brighton player hence the change?

This sounds like a classic case of everyone assuming that what they could hear, is exactly what anyone else had to be hearing at the same time.

Assuming other humans share your perceptions is a pretty common human failing, no?

[I blame Wellens]

The away fans and half the ground can't hear a thing from SK1. L block does not really exist anymore. We have no songs and half the fans leave before the final  whistle when we are 2-0 up. We still have those stupid clappers, crap flags and a few flames going up at the side of the pitch. Nice for those tourists that sit in the soft seats, most of which were empty on Saturday.

 

The reality is, this is the way it is now. The real shame of it is how many clubs are starting to use those bloody clappers. In most grounds, apart from the big games, there is no atmosphere. Our atmosphere, apart from the title winning season and a few European nights  has generally been crap.

 

But we won the league and I'm happy with that. Maguire is a good signing and the blue bit around the pitch is quite nice.

Knockaret came and clapped us first before he went over to their fans. The guy clearly still loves us and vice visera. Thought UFS again were embarrassing with their better then you attuide. When Knockaret came on 99% of the stadium were singing " don't sell knockaret" yet they took it upon themselves to start chanting the mahrez song over it. The same mahrez who openly wants to leave aswell ... yeah good one lads 

Why am I not surprised at this

you seriously believe this? I'm absolutely certain they'd be happy if non stop chants were started elsewhere in the kop. Fact is they're not. Some songs in SK1 take too long to die out sometimes i'd say, but apart from that they are, imo, the only lot who actually try and back the team for 90 minutes.

Last sentence is brilliant

I agree there ain't much atmosphere at any ground. I laugh when I see fans of clubs trying to argue on the internet (I mean other fans in general on twitter etc) who has the better support, who takes more here and there, who has the better atmosphere.... I can't remember the last time I went to an away game and came out impressed with the home fans. Sky build up Stoke, Palace etc so much yet when I go it's exactly like how we feel about our own home games... quiet, lack of atmosphere etc. 

 

The atmosphere has been dire since the ground opened. There was a two or three year spell - when we first got clappers - when it was a better. Last season it seemed to revert back to how it was though. But I don't know how it can be improved. I don't like clappers either but if you take them away then the people that do bang them somewhere aren't going to get involved/make noise anymore, and as I've said before we've got this problem where small pockets (ie L1 and Union FS) sing different songs. I sit in the middle of SK2 and I have previously heard different songs at the same time. Even at away games I've heard a small group singing something different to another group. In an ideal world it'd be better to have all the small pockets together but then we go back to the whole "lets swap the Kop" thing.

 

I dunno about people leaving early, mind. I thought the Family Stand emptied quickly on Saturday but I dunno about the rest of the ground. (Probably because I'm facing that way I focus on that more). 

 

The ground in general is dull though. I was walking upto the ground Saturday knowing that the club would have taken the massive "Champions" banner down and I was hoping they'd stick Lineker back up (that was there previous with all the old players) but in reality knew I'd probably see King Power instead. When I got there I don't actually think they've put anything up  ... Went to Arsenal last week - walking up to the ground and around the ground it's just covered in old players. All the way back from Brady through to Fabregas. Why can't we have that? We're not a massive club but we've got a good history - Lineker, Shilton, Revie, Banks in particular are well known names in football. We've won league titles, played in FA Cup finals, won a few league cups which nothing anywhere near the ground suggests.... I was looking around the top banner in the ground itself and just see more "King Power". Ergh.

^ great post

Now that we can't sing Champions of England, I think we have 3 songs left.

As usual SK2 were late to pick up on what was going on. 

I stand between UFS and SK2 in the middle of SK1 and the Knocky chant had finished around me by the time Riyad had started. 

[Countesthorpe Fox 1884]

Still makes me laugh how some of our fans think we have one of the best atmospheres in the PL. In reality it's really quite poor. Especially away from home as well. Some people make a good point that knockeart reception was much louder than applause for our own team. State of some of our fans booing mahrez as well...

You genuinely believe the account of Hugo Sanchez? OK pal.  Last year he had a pop for UFS singing 'Leicester till I die' when 4 or 5 down to Spurs because he felt victimised for walking out early.

 

Don't Sell Knockaert was sang by a lot of people in and around UFS (including me) but as with every other fvcking song in the stadium it takes a while to get from block to block. As for the Riyad song starting next, I'm not sure why that started but you'd have to be pretty paranoid to think it was some sort of dig at Knocky.

 

Thinking about it, it's laughable that some people want everyone to sing the same song at the same time but yet single out the (not-self-proclaimed) 'Ultras' who are trying to achieve just that, with the use of the drum or whatever. The same lads slated for 'acting Ultra/not traditional supporters' now being dug out in this thread for singing Bertie Mee.

 

Fair play if anyone dislikes UFS for whatever reason but make your mind up on why ffs

Admire Union FS as a group and what they are trying to achieve. Good people involved. But for me it's the attitude of some members towards other fans that I don't like. You full well know that.
