Stadium atmosphere

[Viktor-LCFC]

I wonder what the average age of our fan base is compared to other clubs and female match going fans seems a lot compared to other clubs. The King Power seems like it's been infiltrated by Tigers fans.

 

Just to add our last 3 managers style of football hasn't helped Puel, Rodgers and now Enzo.

I can't understand why anybody pays to go to watch and leaves early unless a genuine emergency. Just can't be a football fan. 

 

Said this a couple of months ago. It is like bloody groundhog day though. Nothing has changed in the match day routine from the club in over 5 years. FFS even if it is play different music or change the tannoy man from the monotone guy of the last 20 years. Do something!

I can't believe that Cannon song looks like it's here to stay 

 

People singing that still use MySpace and MSN I'm convinced of it.

No doubt the same simpletons who sang "champions of Europe, you weren't even born"... at a club who have never been champions of Europe.

It’s too much of a closed shop. Too many are just going through the motions. The section needs to at least double in size to have a significant impact

It can only double in size if interest is there. Can you safely say there are another 100-200 lads in Nike air maxes around the ground who are willing to become a part of that?

Good point well made.

Doesn't the style of play dictate how the fans behave too. Let's be honest. The economical style, it's not exactly edge of the seat stuff.

The first half last night felt like a fairly exciting half as did the first 20 of the second and it was still shite.

Good point

 

Things that stir a crowd other than goals imclude chances on goal, a player beating a man or putting in a meaty tackle or executing a particular bit of skill or a great save 

 

Now the game seems a bit more like watching a game of chess than a football match - interesting but often not edge of the seat or passion inspiring stuff

Here's a thought. Why don't union fs move to L1.

We had all that first half.

 

A goal, a couple of good chances, Mavididi constantly beating his man (which then tailed off second half but that's a different story).... we were the better team and, for me, that half was one of the best we've produced this season.

 

All of that in a top of the table clash.

It’s been poor for years though. I do think the football can be boring but first half was plenty of chances … it’s an excuse

Yeah, we did last night and more so than usual 

 

But overall, football generally isn’t as blood and guts as it used to be and the demographic has changed to more supporters being more passive save for cheering a goal 

 

And we have been spoilt over the last decade and although we are still being spoilt results wise,  football at the top level just isnt  the spectacle it used to be

Two areas that sing are not the reason why the atmosphere can be poor.

If people didn't find that game exciting with enough needle last night then I absolutely am lost for words. 

 

 

Let's stop making excuses. It's purely down to stale, spoilt, fomo fans that need to admit to themselves that they don't even want to be there because they can't be getting joy out of it. 

 

 

Do the right thing and find some new hobbies. 

 

 

It will not change

[Raj]

Was there a fire drill last night?

 

Must have been why else would you leave early for a game on a knife edge against one of the top teams in the league?

 

Hope everyone got out okay safely....

Because deep down they don't want to be there. 

 

A huge amount of our ST holder base are like drug addicts but without the high. They can't get off it but they absolutely should.

Is being 'middle class' and being quiet the issue, particularly during home games, as mentioned by someone yesterday?..

No

 

Our ground is not full of middle class people, it's a complete myth.

No 

 

You just need to be on board and present rather than going out of habit 

[ealingfox]

Sorry but if you left early last night, you're a bit culpable. In those situations the team needs support from the stands, regardless of what should be happening on paper.

L1s a standing section but it certainly doesn't sing

[Bob Hazels shorts]

L1 clearly and loudly in unison singing ‘straight back up’ whilst the small Union FC group decide they prefer to sing ‘EIEIO’ at the same time is moronic.

This happens continuously.

 

 

It’s hardly rocket science and should slap even the simplest supporter in the face.

 

The few in the ‘singing section’ managed to persuade some at the club (many at the club opposed it -fact) that it was they that would lead the singing, causing many others to sit back and be dictated too.

 

It has failed as most tunes are ego based complex, weak and very few up takers.

 

Credit to L1 yesterday and even SK4 took up the mantle at times.

SK1 were reasonable for short spells when it was simple chants ‘come on Leicester’ but largely embarrassing if brutally honest

 

Blaming people who for multiple reasons have to miss the end of the game and silly ageist comments against life-long supporters is just lashing out and passing on the blame for failure.

 

The club have really scored an own goal facilitating this.

They're really not complex and UFS and L1 are very different crowds, L1 are the insufferable soccer AM "bantz bantz bantz" lot who spend the entire match watching the away fans, UFS are the ones who want to act support the team.
