Stadium atmosphere

[The whole world smiles]

If the atmosphere was decent then I could accept posts criticising certain songs. 

 

But down at that morgue currently I will take any songs I can get, factually accurate or otherwise.

The section being full last night was encouraging. There's sometimes a small pocket of seats near me which are empty (although fill up more at kick off) but they were all taken. It did feel as though there were slightly more in there than usual, as for the stand as a whole it's a Kop in name only really.

Was really great seeing the amount of children in and around the section joining in with songs and enjoying the flags, scarf-waving and so on.

Only thing giving me hope right now that our atmosphere will improve is that we seem to have a lot of kids that want to get involved. Winning trophies and being in the premier league has obviously helped a lot choose us over the “big teams” too so it is encouraging.

If there is good football on display, the atmosphere will improve. It's been poor on the pitch for a while and that's reflective in the stands too. 

 

You want to improve atmosphere? Team need to buck up.

Countless times this gets said when it’s literally been proven wrong. We were good 2 years ago. We won the fa cup and finished top 5 whilst being in the top 4 the whole season and the atmosphere was still poor so your point is not true.

Whilst good football helps, that's a poor excuse. There are a number of teams who constantly play shit yet atmospheres are good. 

[Lako42]

The apathy that the club is showing has filtered fully into the stands. 

 

 

Nobody is excited, nobody wants to watch this style of football and a great many have zero positivity about the manager and the direction. 

 

 

The rot is everywhere. 

 

 

The thing that ****s me off the most is that people feel all of the above and still can't get off their arse to show the level of disapproval that is required. 

 

 

The stands should be hounding the manager and the board at the minute.

And yet those with that viewpoint are also some of the same people that refuse to call for Rodgers to be sacked.

A good atmosphere could also lead to an improvement in the quality of the football though. As supporters, it's in our gift to try and make that happen. It's not like any of us have anything to lose by opening our gobs and trying to liven the players up, is it?

The atmosphere was poor because we were playing behind closed doors, surely?

Season before then. Point still stands. We were in the top 4 the whole season?

I thought it was Ok pre covid when we were flying and playing good football. Remember Sheff U and Chelsea away and Arsenal at home in particular being loud and fun.

Absolutely dead, the worst part is if you’re singing outside FS you’re treated like an idiot.
 

I wonder if it’s because we don’t have as many staple chants as we did a few years ago? Ones like “Dilly Ding”, “Claudio give us a wave” and “Leicester boys are we” would go off intermittently throughout the game. Feel like we don’t have club songs like that take at the minute.

 

Either that or new generation Leicester fans are boring bastards.

Leicester boys are we gets sung numerous times every single game

I’m just talking about home atmosphere. If there’s only one game you can think off on the top of your head can’t have been that good can it

True, may be rose tinted glasses as well as we were playing so well at the time. The nacho VAR goal against Everton is up there with Howard 2009 and Nalis 2004 v Leeds as one of my favourite moments at the KP.

I am quite resigned to the fact that good atmospheres are a full generation away from us. It is important that the kids of today are brought up right with the mindset to back your team no matter what, don't be afraid to start chants and to get involved and make a racket. I cannot see this happen overnight but we are taking the right steps with the section.

2-0 down last 16 of the FA Cup, bring it back to 2-1 with 20 to go I think that’s a valid reason for the KOP and the rest of the bums to get out of neutral. Nobody can tell me if we raise the roof at that stage we aren’t more likely to rattle Blackburn and get the equaliser. Energy brings energy. That’s our role 

This!  All of the negativity I see here towards the singing section, UFS and even the song choices is infuriating.  Support in the form of creating an atmosphere in the stadium that 1) Encourages our team 2) Makes the opposition feel less comfortable 3) Puts pressure on officials to make decisions favourable to us is precisely our role as fans.  It's about generating a home advantage.  I fully support UFS in their efforts to create this, it's bizarre that anyone going to the KP or commenting on here would think differently.  I take the point that the football is dull at the moment and not conducive to an electric atmosphere but FFS lets all get behind the team and shout, sing, cheer them on to a few more wins this season so we can enjoy Premier League football for years to come.  It really could make the difference IMO.

It is pretty much the main reason though. As soon as we stop playing on the front foot, there's a distinct "here we fvckin go again",  and a lot of people either just sit there waiting for it to end or start moaning and booing then the rot sets in and no matter how much a few lads bang and yell stuff out, no-ones going to join in. Prime example, last night we had a spell where we were playing fast and fairly exciting football, and we scored a goal, the crowd were getting behind the team, they took control again and it was dead

The slow lethargic build up style football does not inspire fans. It's been this way since Puel which, incidentally, was around the time when the atmosphere took a nose dive.

 

I hate watching us, it's not our identity and does not fit into the club ethos "Foxes Never Quit".. on the contrary, they do and very easily.. and the fans have had enough.

[HybridFox]

Do Leuven play 3 Kungs for goal music too?

You should use clappers in your section, the kids love them.

People just can’t get into their heads that crowd energy seems to spur on players performance and not vice versa. To keep the team up, the section and sk2 should be bouncing every game and points are going to keep City up. 
 

yorkie1999 i may have viewed this differently but apart from the goal and goal music, I believe there was only 1-2 chants after and then it went dead. Atmosphere should carry on as kick off happens, not sing wys then sit with arms folded. 
 

I have never seen such a circle debate as this subject, it’s tiresome. Southampton, everton and Leeds are probably spurring their team on, trying to get to the final whistle with a win, some just seem content at kp with just watching, hoping that the players can find a spur of energy in the environment of a funeral..
