That was the worst atmosphere I've ever experienced at a Leicester game yesterday 

You can't have been going for long then. It was a lot worst in the championship when we were getting beat every week. When we lost to villa 5 nil at home in the Premier league was pretty toxic too

I don't believe that. I sit in sk3 and can't hear UFS. All the songs come from the back of sk2 and sk3. 

I actually listened out for this on Saturday (sad, I know) but I literally didn't hear anything from the back of SK2 and SK3 until literally the 51st minute and that was just a 'come on Leicester'.

Too many families and children there. You want tens of thousands of drunken 18-25s ideally. 🧐

Add some casual racism and you have a great cocktail for a pre 1990's footballing atmosphere!!!

We've had every away section at the KP out-support us so far this season, let's not pretend they're racist drunks because they happen to be better at supporting their team than us. If you don't want to vocally support your team then don't, buy try not to stereotype those that do.

It really was that bad on Saturday. The worst I've known for years. 

 

What I wouldn't give to be part of the same kind of noise for my club that Chelsea supplied for theirs for the full and constant 90 mins.

 

FWIW and IMHO LCFC want a family club. Families are mums, dads, grandparents and their kids. Alongside that you have the older generation who just come to watch the game.

 

It's the bit in between that usually are responsible for the noise, songs and chants that seem to be isolated and or/seperated, outnumbered by the above dynamic or plainly just dissuaded by the club in preference for the family atmosphere expected by todays society.

 

It's no coincidence that those clubs with a different dynamic/reputation for supporters are the ones with the loudest atmosphere and support. Chelsea being one of them. I can guarantee the likes of Newcastle, Leeds, West Ham will out sing, out chant and out noise us again.

 

On top of this the stuff on the pitch is hardly inspiring us to make the place a fortress again is it? I fear those days are far behind us and a long way off in front of us.

Club have made their own bed in a way. Having seen a whole season behind closed doors where away teams actually picked up more points than home teams in what must surely be the first time ever, I think it's quite safe to say that having an effective home crowd does make a difference. We've spent years manufacturing something that's just too friendly and nice. We've lost any edge at all.

 

Thursday is going to be embarrassing in this department.

A lot of our “fans” seem to think creating any type of atmosphere and wanting a better atmosphere makes you a hooligan. Probably why our atmosphere home and away is so poor. Too many people with your mindset that you’re better than the ones who do try and improve it.

The atmosphere and getting behind the team vocally is my main enjoyment from the match day. 

 

It's died now. I've had the enthusiasm taken away as no ****er else even tries. 

 

Sitting on my hands at the football is boring to me, so there might be a season ticket available next year if this is the future of our support.

The only solution I can see (unlikely) is putting the rail seating into the back half of the KOP SK2+3 to start with. The problem is that L1 won't move away from the fans.

 

Personally, I think traditional grounds at clubs like Leeds, Newcastle and West Ham (Upton Pk) have a decent hardcore of singers/standers...we had SK1 in latter Filbo days, and they're all fragmented between Kop and L1 and other areas.

Before you get all hight and mighty and get all " I'm the one fan who tries to make ALL the atmosphere at the KP" try and understand my comment in the context of what I was responding to, if you are able.

Seems to me our home support is as good or bad as most the other teams we play. Biggest issue for me is that our ponderous style of play these days is not conducive to getting anyone off their seats. Most people don't like it and it's hard to sing (or cheer) and moan at the same time.

I stopped going home games mainly due to distance but really have no urge to ever go back at the moment unless things change - the family image the club are desperate to have and the clappers are horrendous. Still do plenty of away each year as they are actually enjoyable - if you regularly go away you will notice our home support is on par with most in the prem for noise. Minus the clappers and if we had a whole stand who stand up we'd have a good home backing but our likeminded fans are too spread around the stadium, which again the club are probably at fault for having the family stand next to the away end.
