Got anything to actually offer to the replies you find so funny that are answering people questions. 

 

Pretty pathetic 

 

 

Well done lads. Genuinely have saved Leicester games from being a blackhole in terms of atmosphere / supporter culture. 

 

Hope you continue to grow and fingers crossed the weirdos continue to be irritated by everything you do lol

Massive respect for the work you guys do. 

Some of the TIFOs have made moments engrained into the history of the club, the dogs of war one for instance. 

 

Hopefully the singing section has brought more respect for what you guys fight for.

 

Intrigued how the fan lead groups continue to evolve over the next few years.

You beat me to to it, I was going to ask the same question. 

 

It honestly baffles me how anyone can have anything remotely negative to say about a group who do as much for the fan base as UFS do, long may it continue.

 

Side note, but I have found the group nothing but respectful and welcoming. I'm a wrong side of 40 year old woman with a teenage daughter, and we joined the section before it was official at one of the cup games pre covid. We loved it! If anyone is thinking of joining them please do, the more the noisier!

Had a season ticket in the mid 2010s right next to these guys in sk1 when they used to sit a bit higher up .. fantastic group of people . The atmosphere was brilliant there.

 

Wasn't until I had to give my ticket up and then pick up tickets when I can around the stadium that I realised how drab the atmosphere can be at the kp at times. 

 

Recently in p2 its been pretty good  but none comparable to sk1.

Fair play…. You’re contribution doesn’t go unnoticed 

 

I’m 50 so not for me,  but how do you invite people to join?  It’s great that it’s unofficial, but it’d be nice for new generations to understand how they can get involved?

At the Plymouth game 1000 seats had a flyer put on them as to how. These were mainly seats towards the back of SK1 and along the top few rows of the kop.

For seats that didnt get a flyer the day after a social media post of the flyer was shared on twitter.

We did similar at the first game if the section against Brentford was it? Basically thanking those who moved in and to those already there thanked them for the support and also on the flyer where we drink on a matchday etc.

 

Posters on here that seem either keen to sing or moan its crap where they currently are do get messages from members. Similarly that happens on twitter.

 

Each beginning of the season and in more recent ones not just at the beginning the group posts relocation information on how and where to move your seats to. 
Plus the group will always reply to DM’s or emails.

What's their relationship with the club like?

Sol has answered it very well there. 
Worth saying we felt very disappointed that the powers at be at the club turned down a ten year tifo request. Particularly in the light of what other groups similar to us on these shores did for their anniversaries.

The banner we did do was the result of weeks of back and fourth. Bizzarly we ended up with something much smaller than we were granted at five years.

Congratulations.
 

The only group at the club I respect - and I’d be happy to stand near were it not for the fact that the overpriced tickets never go on general sale and I am still carrying out my utterly pointless boycott of all things KPFC.

Only 50? I'm 72 and a proud UFS 'lad'. No age barriers in UFS.

Plus off the top of my head, interviews with Radio Leicester, BSLB Pod, Fosse Way have all included ways to get involved.

 

As the original post said, 90% of our membership are people who have introduced themselves to the group or been messaged asking if they were interested in getting involved. A lot of work goes into this as it's not straightforward.

can you elaborate more on this, we talking home games?

I'm talking about that as a general supporter issue in England, especially when it comes to games being rearranged for TV.

 

That said, i think Leicester (as a city, not just the club) could definitely do better in terms of public transport initiatives for fans.

ahh was hoping they'd been discussions regarding making it better for fans getting to our ground, like shuttle busses in and out to/from town. If there were any decent pubs near the ground i wouldnt begrudge the walk so much

Hate to say it, but pubs in Leicester could learn a lot from Derby in that regard. Loads of boozers, both in the centre and suburbs/villages, run buses to their ground on matchday.

Well done lads and lasses.

 

Never really been fully engaged with you as a group, but proud to count several of your members as friends. I've seen the hard work you guys put in and how hard the club have been to work with at times, others may well have given up. 

 

I know a lot of you have now made bonds for life over our club.

 

For anyone still unsure. The group are always open and approachable and everyone with a drive to improve the atmosphere or just get involved are welcome. As @steveherbe has said hes no spring chicken lol

 

It really would be great if you can expand the section as part of the redevelopment when it comes 

 

Have a good new year and bring your voices NYD
