Why is everyone being so hard on HackneyFox? It's a bigger game for them. It's not like they've won it before.
sorry about that, I didn’t realise there are two Grendels.Well I didn’t say it so it’s not me whose stupid
I’ll let you know.Self awareness is a wonderful thing, you should try it.
Support was rightly praised far and wide during 2015/16. We were selling out games well before that so I don't think we've attracted too many 'new type' fans since then. Same as most clubs that move to a new ground, you tend to lose the atmosphere due to the singers no longer being sat/stood together.Seen a lot of your fans criticising your support recently particularly away from home?
Fwiw, I remember Leicester being the same even before attracting a new type of fan after winning the Premier League. Big numbers but not much backing of your team

Yes I read & heard all about 15/16, understandable and I can imagine it was good. But it wasn't just at the KP though, it was before then as well, for whatever reason you've never really been a loud set of fans. We are no Boca Juniors, don't get me wrong, but we are definitely louder- albeit with a support base that for obvious reasons has taken a hell of a battering & will take a few years to build back up, and that depends on getting back up to at least the Championship and playing in our own city. I know it winds your fans up that you don't have a 'song' like we do. Its just one of those things- you have a good solid level of support but have never been all that vocal.Support was rightly praised far and wide during 2015/16.

We've a group called Union FS who are attempting to bring back an atmosphere (also responsible for the Tifos) and are just behind me in SK3.
For the last cup game the club gave them a much larger area behind the goal and I believe you could only buy tickets for that area if you went through Union FS.
Apparently made for a much better atmosphere.
Il not sure if you are wumming or just dumb

Proof. There are two GrendelsIl not sure if you are wumming or just dumb
When there are 9,000 rattling around there indeed. However when there is a big crowd (ie if we get any modicum of success) its pretty good. I remember when we played Reading, third game I think, and their fans were saying they couldn't even hear the whistle as we were making a hell of a din going for an equaliser- we were still on the 'new ground high'. Likewise Newcastle in the cup when Dann scored near the end- the Ricoh was in fact designed with acoustics in mind (high roof to reflect the sound down & that nerdy stuff)- however when you're churning out dross every single week and there is one person for every three seats, you don't have to be a genius to know whats going to happen. Its a 'big game' ground but we have no big games. And now we don't even own it and the prospect of going back looks as distant as ever, as I said its not the ground thats wrong, its the total & utter mismanagement & incompetence on and off the pitch that has done us in.The Ricoh has about as much atmosphere as a cemetery
The Boris Johnson Eton boating song, how ironic is that?I know it winds your fans up that you don't have a 'song' like we do. .
Because we sell out every game and have done for some time we now have an ageing fanbase.Yes I read & heard all about 15/16, understandable and I can imagine it was good.

There's been discussions on the boards about how we get younger onboard both for home and away games but it's not easy when those aged 50 and above grab all the away tickets well before they go on sale to ST holders on lower priority points. Only a couple of games aa season were making it to general sale, but that';s not likely to happen again with fans after pints for European games next season. Fair number of us had to go in with the home fans at Bruges and Seville.
I think Leicester was built in 1 day though.Glad it ain't just me I'm struggling with that too..... Not exactly Lazio are they? Although Leicester is very similar to Rome so I've been told.
Not all that much, but we were always ok when it comes to that side of things. One went out the window when Michael Doyle left... A few older chants that I don't like have actually made a comeback as well. When You're Smiling is a case in point though, its naff and its just a song that you've taken up, nobody really associates you with it that much. The ones about the CL would be better as they're 'yours'. Its not a knock on Leicester, your club is doing well, its just that its somehow not in your DNA to make much noise, and when you take into account how well you're doing its even more strange. Hate to say it but when it comes to original songs you can't look too far past Man Utd- or at least you could't when we were in the same universe as them, don't know what they're like now. In League One Sunderland I'd say are the worst for "least noise per supporter".The Boris Johnson Eton boating song, how ironic is that?
News to me that it wound us up that we didn't have such a song.
We have When You're Smiling (complete with hand movements) and a number of new ones (well our versions) of songs for the CL campaign of 16/17 and now 20/21.
I'm sure that likewise you must have come up with a bunch of new songs when you got promoted from Division 4.
Yet you repliedNobody gives a shit
Boring as fuck you areYet you replied

blimey how cuttingBoring as fuck you are
No doubt about that. Although when you were just as bad us us (or should that be when we comparatively were brilliant) and your fanbase wasn't all old men if that is indeed the case now, you still were never very noisy.See my post above about the age of the fanbase.
All down to success.
I'm sure you're right, if only they gave points for it.No doubt about that. Although when you were just as bad us us (or should that be when we comparatively were brilliant) and your fanbase wasn't all old men if that is indeed the case now, you still were never very noisy.
You get a like for the "k" on your horny knob.Not forgetting the horny knob when the teams run out.
Fewer.I said by your logic Robins is in general a better manager than Allardyce as in his career he had won less promotions you dummy
This will be 90 mins of us letting you know we’re fooking massive now.
He hasn’t got a scooby what he’s on about, totally lost it today.Fewer.

Believe me, the last thing I want is to be dragged in to your ding-dong with G, but it's a bit of a stretch to equate a grammatical hiccup with "losing it".He hasn’t got a scooby what he’s on about, totally lost it today.
The tip of the iceberg. I just hope he comes out the other side.Believe me, the last thing I want is to be dragged in to your ding-dong with G, but it's a bit of a stretch to equate a grammatical hiccup with "losing it".

Me tooWould happily lose the replay if it meant getting 6 points against Bristol Rovers and Bolton
Intetesting mix of metaphors.The tip of the iceberg. I just hope he comes out the other side.
Wasn't a great result but I wasn't looking forward to a spanking off Man City at Wembley.@hackneyfox HAHAHA well done on tonight ya bottlers, shite club
and hopefully an FA Cup run
By then we'll have played another four games, with only ten left to play, may be that we are so far clear of 5th that we can put out an almost full strength team.Not after we beat ya
