Looks like it was only sent to the relevant people in that block.

 

No I think from what I have gathered is one went to SK1 and possibly G1 and those not in those blocks got different one with slightly changed questions.

That's not really the point though, I also think the section will remain. This is an opportunity for the fans to give feedback to the club. What has gone well, what could be done better, how could it be done better etc.

 

Giving this feedback is crucial to let the club know what people think and give them something to address and improve on.

Bang on this.  Fan engagement is one of the most important measurable things a club has, it's all the executives really care about, it is where the money comes from so.  Get on it.

I do tend to agree with this and as someone who was at the top last season, it has certainly changed for the worse in my opinion.

 

To be completely honest, I like what Union FS are doing but in my opinion the chants need to change. Some chants can go on for for 4/5 mins that people have no idea of the words to (minus the 20 in that group). I know it’s just them trying to be creative but in my opinion the chance of genuine improvement to the atmosphere is being drowned out by Union FS trying to come up with chants that replicate German football.

 

For example, last week Brentford away got great reviews with the rendition of “we love you” - why does this never get sung at home?


We’ve got to start with basics. At what point do you give up with that “follow home and away on a Saturday” chant - i think that’s what it is anyway and it’s garbage. Everyone around me sighs when it’s sung.

 

The drum doesn’t help with this either - I’ve heard a few catchy chants start at the top over the course of the season and they’re immediately drown out.

 

solution: get UFS in the middle of the stand and sing some classics rather than stuff that no one knows.

I mean, We Love You is arguably the ultimate chant that "tries to replicate German football" given half the Football League stole it from St Pauli before we nicked it ourselves, but whatever.

 

Would be interested in what "classics" you think should be sung more? It's a criticism I hear a lot despite loads of classic chants getting aired every week in the section.

I'm in H1 and I got it.

 

Just pointed out that it needs to be a bigger standing area and allows late deciders to go in there assuming there's room.

I'm in SK1 and not had it weirdly. Managed to find a link on Instagram and filled it in. So presume anyone can.

The survey is submitted anonymously so how do the club know where you sit? I think they are being sent to anyone that's previously bought a match ticket as well as STH's. It's only if you agree to be contacted in the future that you are asked for your details/supporter number etc for identification. Anyone can complete the survey, I think. 

:dunno:

I have been highly critical of you guys and they are pretty entrenched and unlikely to change anytime soon. 

 

However, I am in full support of you guys in this and also additional info I've seen on Facebook specifically regarding safe standing. Can't see me joining you personally anytime soon but would love my kids to be able to enjoy football in the same way we used to "back in the good old days" 

 

Happy to complete any survey, from ufd or the club or vote for it or whatever, but will need a push in the right direction so please keep posting it. Preferably in a new topic so it's clear something is happening rather than me avoiding the general thread.

What’s stopping anyone else from chanting we love you or starting chants other than the chant you describe ?

Have filled it out and done my best to help the singing section out with my answers.  
 

Also mentioned how they’re a hinderance with the membership requirements for one off tickets, these people could get hooked and become regular match going fans adding to the atmosphere. Also the over zealous stewarding, that singers aren’t criminals and there’s no need. 

 

Not part of the section but hope I’ve helped in a small way.

Agree with this. “Come on Leicester boys” is the one song I simply refuse to join in on. The other is slightly better but agree it’s not one that we should have as regularly as we do at home fixtures.

 

I hear what you’re saying about Union FS being all ears, but from my POV, I’ve not seen too much being communicated to the fans. I’d like to see polls, directly asking fans what songs they’d like to see, etc…

 

apologies if this is the case and I’ve missed it but I’d quite like to be directed to the place if it is.

Yeah I think that’s more than fair. Polls is a good idea, I’ve not seen them do that.

I know everyone has their opinion and I respect that, but I’ve never known such a frustrating fanbase. It’s a never ending circle of ufs are this, the singing section is this, I ain’t singing because the songs are too long. 
It’s just full of Rodger’s in v Rodger’s out, 

banners v no banners,

foxestalk v Twitter.. 

No wonder the club is where it is currently

 

I’ve seen no end of comments that people are targeting the wrong thing. Ufs isn’t the issue here, it’s the location of the section that’s the real issue. I’ve seen fans on social media slag off these lads so often. But does any of the doubters just stop for a few mins and think of the good things they do? The food banks, the time they spend creating these banners. (I must sound like a broken record because I’ve said something in a similar post) but this is all financed by them. A poster just above has mentioned their communication. Granted it can be better but rather than challenge them, change it into feedback, plenty of them are on here and will read it. These are just typical fans who want to try and improve an atmosphere, nothing more and im pretty sure they are all approachable should you want them on a match day. 
 

@Nolucklcfc @lcfcben76 rather than quote your comments I’ll tag you, I understand what your saying but I can’t get my head some of it. I think everyone has a song or chant they don’t like, I don’t like the souttar one.. but I can’t think of a chant that goes on for 4/5 mins.. at Brentford we love you was bought back which was class and that could be a song which goes on for 4/5 mins and many can join in. Only thing is if fans can’t simply chant Leicester a few times then what’s the solution? Is the location of the section wrong then? I think some folk talk of Liverpool and Manchester is a classic but that rarely gets started.. maybe it’s too long?

 

Depending on the team the atmosphere is great and forest this season was a highlight.. the whole of the kop was singing in unison forest get battered and after the goals it felt like the floor was literally bouncing. 
 

I said earlier that if l1 and the section could get together in the ground then then they could make it a fortress again..

Just swap the Kop and the Family stand and everything will be okay!

This has been mentioned before but what would it achieve? Keeping the away fans where they are? Trouble is it just turns into a baiting atmosphere and not a team atmosphere.. if at old Trafford the south stand actually bothered to open their mouths and have a sing song instead of giving the fingers and willy puller signs to the away fans then they might get an atmosphere going there.

"a baiting atmosphere". It is already in many respects.
