Come on now, who in our fanbase has ever referred to thinking Leicester should play "The Fosse Way". I should also point out that it had to be explained to the same people exactly what the Fosse Way is/was.

You're mistaking our fanbase for people that work for Leicester City.

Has been considered but a lot of the stuff that would they would want to speak about we've been asked to keep "confidential" by the club.

 

I'm talking about getting your name out there in terms of supporters. Letting people know what you're about, what you stand for, how to get involved etc.

 

There's a definite feeling within Leicester's fanbase that the Union FS are a bunch of rowdy kids that want to cause nothing but trouble (wannabe Ultras). I personally think that if UFS want things to progress neatly with LCFC then getting your name out there in a positive manner and dispelling that idea would be a good way to go about it.

Every single game for nearly 9 years. Once this is granted names have to go to club and searches on entry. These individuals are usually escorted by a steward and watched over for the duration.

No lenience is afforded. 

Don't forget the wristbands. Horrid days them

Personally I think there comes a time where if the people at the club don’t want to play ball you have to stop taking their wishes in to consideration. They’re hardly accountable for the ridiculous decisions they make so it’s our job to get these answers in different ways

Yeah absolutely get that, there are a couple of podcasts we've considered going on. But have always been mindful of being burnt by doing that kind of stuff previously. Tricky balancing act.

To be fair the Comms at the moment are as good as they've been for a while so need to keep that avenue open. Conscious that a lot of the decisions seem strange from the outside but almost exclusively they're made as the "least worst" option.

The other guys here will probably say it better than myself as it's not really my 'world' anymore but I think the guys have done a great job of making themselves known to fans more & more in recent years. I think part of it is just becoming a regular face that people can speak to and their stall used to be great avenue for that alongside just chatting to guys in the pub at away games.

 

The feeling that UFS are just rowdy kids is an amusing stereotype that they've had since it started in 2013. 9 years on and the same guys still get labelled kids, I respect them all for starting UFS when they were all 5 years old

Annual foodbank drives, charity football tournaments, countless tifos, regular media appearances, a stall at every game (until the club canned it). What else are they meant to do?

 

If your "rowdy kids" characterisation is genuinely what most people think, then that's wide of the mark again. Have people not seen the honking hairlines half of us have at the back of SK1? Some of the guys involved have been trying to work with the club to produce positive atmospheres and sections for getting on for a decade-and-a-half now.

Come on, regardless if you are from Leicester or not, if you work for a business it's reasonable practice to understand the history of that business. It's the kind of corporate stuff, business love to issue.

 

The club was called Leicester Fosse. Alongside that, you'd expect the average person in the UK to know what the 'Fosse Way' is as it's a corner stone of British history. 

 

Given that I never, ever, heard any commentator or football 'person' make any reference to the 'Fosse Way', it's nonsense to think it's a dig. 

This club falls very short of remembering it's history and heritage. Look at the lack of a minute's applause for Frank O'Farrell, Gordon Lee and Andy Lochhead at the weekend.

If anything, when Leicester Fosse was founded, they probably played 90% of the game in the air and kicking people. I wouldn’t mind us playing the Fosse Way sometimes  

 

On a serious note, that’s absolutely hilarious…

[UniFox21]

This is what I was half worried about. We argue amongst ourselves rather than making steps to work together.

Sounded the best we have done on TV in a long time

Wasn't too bad today.

 

People slate our atmosphere, and I understand the need for improvement but that Old Trafford crowd today was worse than anything we've produced this season imo.

On the telly the amount of half half scarves and filming on corners was terrifying 

[SystonFox]

The half and half scarves were everywhere outside the ground from the tram stop to the away end. United fans decked in them.

 

I thought atmosphere our end was belting. They equalised and we got louder where I was, imo,

 

limbs for madders disallowed goal though. Gutted 

[SystonFox]

To add : genuinely heard the United fans when they scored. That’s it. 70,000 and nothing

To say I nearly broke my leg isn’t even an understatement, gutted the goal was disallowed. Agree the atmosphere wasn’t too bad today though, probably one of our better away ends this season.

Was okay today but really good in small periods.

 

One thing about our fans - for the second time this season (today and at Anfield) I’ve seen someone in our end with club shop merchandise from the home team. How grim

[Hamilton Fox]

Thought we sounded really good at times on the tv

The two lads next to me told me today was their first ever football match. Someone had ‘sorted them a ticket’. There to watch United. Absolute joke that they’ve got a place in that away end

That’s not particularly uncommon I’ve found with Old Trafford. Away tickets getting sold to ‘home’ supporters 

[Staff]

When Iheanacho scored it panned to our fans and about 10 had their hands in the air and the other 100 odd had their phones in their hands 😂😂😂

 

 

[STEVIE B]

I was watching from The Stretford End yesterday. 

Couldn't hear anything until we scored. The reaction to Kelechi's goal was fantastic, loud & limbs everywhere. 

Quite a few Utd fans don't rate them as a team & thought we were pretty much controlling the game.

Actually was reasonably impressed with our end yesterday.

 

A bit like many things tho. Half time is a disaster it kills any moment for some reason.

 

And in response to the reply, the reply about not hearing us. We couldn't hear that small safe standing section down the other end. So I'll call that 1-1

The small safe standing section made no noise at all, l was fairly close. 

The home end was so full of day trippers, Northern Irish etc. Even a group from Iceland were present.

Granted, they have a hardcore of local Mancunians, but probably not many more than we do from Leicester.
