Particularly like us being called a 'meh club' by a Brighton fan always liked brighton and still do; one of first games i remember is 2003 when we celebrated (maybe won promotion) against them like this from one of them tbf: "They’re certainly the closest thing to a real life Harchester United, aren’t they? Helicopter crashes, 5000/1 title wins, star striker signed from non-league, Wagatha Christie, youth team sex scandals, the list goes on. An interesting coincidence given that Leicester were generally the team used to create the footage for Harchester’s games." will certainly take being most exciting club to follow in world football (obviously excluding the helicopter crash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really moans about Southampton using admin to clear debt, sell to a wealthy benefactor and subsequently go up twice in two years. All because they got a fifteen point deduction. We end up in some purgatory of being able to afford **** all and carrying the can for five years eventually Palace aren’t too dis-similar either Edited 28 October 2021 by Cardiff_Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the post. Awful. Well I don't disagree. Whilst I'd ultimately rather not have it, I don't get as vexed as many about goal music (you see the same people crying about it who also rim the atmospheres in German football where many teams have goal music) but the decision to not only resume it having stopped doing it but to use This Girl was baffling and it does need to go. I didn't mind Fire if we were going to have goal music because at least it was vaguely original and the song had a connection to the club and city, but for obvious reasons it would be very inappropriate now. The clappers really should be opt-in rather than automatic now. Put them in the family stand and have boxes of them at the doors in the other stands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyn Posted 28 October 2021 Share Posted 28 October 2021 If it helps these people to get through the day, then let them vent. The inescapable truth is that we've had the most exciting ride as a fanbase over the last 10 years or so, compared to pretty much any club in world football. That is bound to elicit envy amongst fans of other "meh" clubs, who'll likely never get to experience such high highs in their lifetime as a fan as we have at LCFC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like the drum too, or Pompey with their bells Biggest problem the clappers have, from a PR point of view, is that the club thought of it. If a fan group organised for, for example, everyone to bring those old school twirly retro rattle things and that's what we were famous for - my god, the hipsters on here would be tripping over themselves to point out how cool that was. Anything the club does will always have the stink of some corporate suit making money lead decisions and that's just contrary to the spirit of football fandom for some people. Worse, its actual the straight antithesis for them. I can sympathise with that, as much as I seem cynical. But I like the net result of the clappers, even though a lot about them annoys me and I never use them personally. Anything that gets people contributing to the noise who'd normally sit silent in their seats is a good thing. With the exception of toxicity, silence is always the worst atmosphere. As much as the clappers' biggest critics would like it, you can't change the culture of the fanbase. You can't change who our season ticket holders are. If its mostly reserved middle class families then that's what you've got to work with, so stop resisting and work out how to hook them in. If the answer is clappers and easy to sing songs with lots of woo-woos that wannabe ultras on social media think are "cringe" well then who fvcking cares if it's making noise. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennyFox55 Posted 28 October 2021 Share Posted 28 October 2021 Personally just think they make an awful tinny sound and have no bearing on the atmosphere.

I don't - and I'm aware of that. It wasn't the Napoli fans per se, it was merely that the shite music was there as an opportunity to take the piss out of. If this was another club, this forum would be lampooning them too, for the same reason. Dreadful, tasteless and tacky. I completely agree with @ealingfox that Kasabian sounded far better and had a local connection/meaning and affiliation with the club. The current choice is banal, asinine, completely lacking in identity and above all, utterly humiliating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is synonymous with one of our greatest nights ever vs Sevilla, and we can't use "fire" or other Kasabian songs for obvious reasons. The clappers are fine imo - you know it's Leicester when you hear them and makes our atmosphere unique from others. Bit like the drum too, or Pompey with their bells. Completely disagree with you. And why is it synonymous with the CL victory over Sevilla in particular? I'm pretty sure that isn't why it has been chosen, nor does it have that meaning to 99% of people in the ground today. In terms of clappers, t doesn't make our atmosphere unique in the slightest - other than the fact that other clubs have briefly used them and unlike us, sensibly discarded them. Pompey don't "have their bells" - you are referring to John 'Portsmouth Football Club' Westwood who for years has insisted on bringing one. It's no more part of the club's identity than his decision to wear clown shoes and a blue and white stovepipe hat for God's sake - (although if you play as/against Portsmouth or visit Fratton on FIFA, they have hilariously incorporated it). One bizarre individual with a bell is hardly comparable or analogous to our decision to persist with the distribution of tacky clappers every game that were also used by other clubs before us.

Stuntman_Mike Posted 28 October 2021 Share Posted 28 October 2021 I just don't understand why they need to produce clappers for every game and in every stand tbh. Maybe encourage people to reuse them? Firstly, so there isn't the unnecessary waste and secondly, those that are that keen to use them will be able to bring them back if they wanted to. Like for the kids in the family stand or those that have a Saturday 3pm happy clapping robot setting* *subject to BBC, Sky Sport and BT Sports TV broadcast picks.
