Stadium atmosphere

[Vestan Pance]

SK1 was pretty loud right from KO, but there also seemed to be times when the whole end was together, maybe there is hope.

Yesterday was the most I’ve heard in a long time the most chants going round the whole stadium and last 5 is the loudest I’ve heard KP in years i think it was because maybe the fans still thought at 2-0 down we could still win or get a point Ik I did. Also it might have been because it was the first game of the season where it felt uncomfortable in a different way to are other loses and we were losing in an exciting match

Gives me hope that if we get promoted it's not just going to be more of the same.

I’m glad for a break from that random nutter who is obsessed with slagging off UFS

A few Bochum were over yesterday. One boy had not been here for four seasons, said it was the best home atmosphere he had seen at Leicester in all his trips here.

I like the way you talk about expanding the section by expanding the word section👏

It's been said so many times, this only becomes on the clubs radar if more move in now.

Compared to other games ,1st half  the Kop was a lot better yesterday , so well done to all and , as usual, non stop effort from UFS👏👏

 

Boro defended well , we missed chances and they took theirs,  so we'll have to take yesterday on the chin and move on to Friday. 

 

These early leavers are beginning to boil my piss though.

 

They were piling down the stairs in SK2 as Vardy scored and when the ball was in the middle for kick off people were still queuing to get out.

 

WTF is wrong with people and why do they bother going to football if its such an inconvenience to be in a bit of traffic?

 

Understand mid week a bit with schools and work issues and some people have to leave games for a variety of reasons , but the numbers that are pouring out at crucial times , when the players need us , is inexcusable.

 

They can't be many things better in football than a last minute winner/equaliser and 1000's are willing to give up a memory that would last a very long time.

 

If we're winning by 1 goal on Friday night , Elland Rd won't be seeing a mass evacuation with 10 to go, I guarantee it.

 

Need to start locking the gates so they can't get out😄

To a % of people (unfortunately getting larger) "beating the traffic" is their number 1 sport.   It's what they're really passionate about.     It's insane, but there you go ...

I don't get it.  However hard I try to understand it, it's just beyond me.  I really thought we might get an equaliser and you couldn't have got me out of there before the end for love nor money.

 

You are right, there's nothing like a last minute winner or equaliser......and if we had got one, given the atmosphere yesterday, the place would have gone up like we haven't seen this season....why why why would you want to risk missing that?

It’s even worse when your sitting down and and have to keep getting up and sitting down like it’s a game of musical chairs.. at least when your standing it’s a shuffle to the side. So by going 2-0 down and seeing everyone pile out then vardy scoring, many dash back in. So are they piling out due to frustration or to beat the traffic, because the amount of people running back in suggest the first option.. 

 

I really couldn’t image walking out, hearing a roar and then knowing there is 3, 4 or 5 mins extra time. From then being 2-1 down yesterday you’ve got 11 mins or so to grab an equaliser. How many times have you even seen a team 2-1 down and winning from that point.. 

 

I get that people pay their money and can leave when they want, but people have a right to moan and voice their opinion if your inconvenienced as much as the stay till the enders are. 2-1 down entering 90 mins and people are shuffling to the side and looking through the people who are having a casual chat, shaking hands and saying see you at qpr.. it winds me up.. what has siting in the east done to me

Yeah I imagine that is annoying.  I was in SK1 and in all fairness I didn't see many leave from our section before the end.  But there were rows and rows of empty seats elsewhere round the ground at 85.

 

If it's the traffic argument they make then they need to think about it ...Leicester is a largeish city and at 5pm on a Saturday, regardless of football, the city centre, welford road, aylestone road etc are going to be busy anyway.  So you have to sit on aylestone road for an extra 20 mins? So?? Unless you need to be back for strictly/Michael McIntyre or whatever other sh*t is on tv on a Saturday night, what is the hurry?

 

MY personal opinion is that they aren't as invested in Lcfc as others.  Don't get me wrong, I have a life, kids, family, work, problems, social events and my life doesn't start and end with Leicester city but for 2 hours on a Saturday (or these days a monday night, Sunday lunch, Friday night)  i'm invested, it's an escape I love and have since I was 12, nothing else matters for those 2 hours and I have never and will never leave early.

I have actually asked this to someone I know who insists on leaving on 89, regardless of situation

 

There isn't a satisfactory answer. And I'm gonna guess most people are the same. It's vague along the lines of 'i wanna get home' and 'i dont wanna be sat for half an hour in traffic' ....but I pushed as for the 'why'....as in why are you so against sitting in traffic. What do you need to be at home for. And the answer isn't forthcoming. Basically there isn't a reason.

Genuinely mind boggling.  And as a purely financial view, at 35, 40 (at least) quid a pop, doing anything else you would stay get your money's worth

I agree.   And it's so mind boggling, we keep on discussing it.   You just keep on thinking "why?" and as @Paninistickers said above, they never really have an answer.   It's weird beyond belief.

 

It's also the inverted logic they use.   "I've got a long journey home, so I need to get away early".   Bill hooks.    I used to live near on 150 miles away, and the greatest % of the journey is in the 150 miles.  Being stuck on the Welford/Aylestone Road for 20 minutes is nothing.   Just relax and listen to Pipes giving his post-match views.

If it happens, would expansion be towards the lower part of SK1 or in the SK2 direction? 

[Wymsey]

Random thought and not really relevant to this thread but wonder, once the expansion commences, if the club maybe should 'paint over' the many seats that are fading away.

I don’t know sorry. 
The club dropped out some info on safe standing but then ignored any questions on this after it frustratingly.

Still trying to chase on this and a meeting on atmosphere in general.

 

- Personally I think you would get a much bigger buy in from G1 than SK2.

Came up in conversation at the tifo set out on Friday now just how dirty and faded they now are.

They done it a season or two back. 

 

They blow torch them. It's not had the outcome we wanted though has it 😕

I genuinely dont think they care that much, some people just can't bare to sit in traffic and would sacrifice missing goals. Of course there's no guarentee you'll escape the traffic anyway. 

 

I don't think it's worth trying to decipher  though, it was the same when I started going regularly back in the early 90's....I would talk to my dad about it because at the time we always seem to score late goals, it made no difference come 89 minutes streams of fans would be heading for the exit.

Perhaps that the most cost-effective and efficient way for the club to try and solve the issue?

I think that is the only method mate I could be wrong but though.
