More's the pity ... now this is just a suggestion ... encourage the club shop to sell tiger print mankins and resurrect the 'mauled by the tigers' chant for the 2012 / 13 season? .. I predict that other clubs will soon folllow ..
Poznan - we started doing that when we played Man City in the cup a few years ago -that was the game where they raised money for Neil Young who had cancer as he scored the goal that won the FA cup for Man City against us in the late 60s. The atmosphere was brilliant - also helped by Mancini being a former player of ours - and the Man City fans encouraged us to do the poznan when we scored so we did and carried on doing it. Goal music - music we have is Fire by Kasabian who are from Leicester and hardcore fans of ours. Obese drummers - Jobber is a hardcore fan who leads the chants and is a really nice guy. Sure he is a very big lad but so what? What exactly do you have? Aside from that "mauled by the tigers" thing that you are all too embarrased to do now, you have nothing that makes you unique from any other fans.
Look at all those kids and adolescents understanding the deep irony of their pawing motions. I agree that copied staged-celebrations and drummers are embarrassing though. Are Leeds and Hull the only major Yorkshire sides not to have ****e like that? Wednesday have a band FFS.
I understand the reason for Leicester's music because it's Kasabian who are massive Leicester fans, the drummer obviously wants to keep atmosphere going, but maybe the poznan only had relevance to that match against Man City. It's sad that Man City do it nevermind any other Club than Poznan. The "Mauled by the Tigers" Chant is to take the piss which eventually turns the joke on the opposition fans and has worked many a time. We do it to take the piss when we're winning quite easily, and the opposition fans attempt to copy and then the jokes on them as we stop after the one rare time of performing it, leaving the other fans looking like total twats. We did have the "Tyger Tyger" playing before the matches at the KC which was unique for us, but that seems to have been stopped along with the rather unorthodox and annoying "Good afternoon, WEST STAND ... SOUTH STAND ... etc" and the worst version of "Wise Men Say" possible. What we have which is unique to is, is that we can score so little and still be in with a shout of play offs 2 Seasons in a row...
Hmmm short memory methinks .... are you not (in)famous for having changed a rather tasteful club badge to a 'smiley face' and for abandoning your real heritage to copy the white of Real Madrid? ...
.. I notice you have ignored the mankini suggestion ... is it just a step too far? .. might look especially sleek on a scooter?
[QUOTETrust me, you don't want to see me in a mankini, either on or off a scooter.][/QUOTE] I think for the first time ever, I completely agree with one of your posts. That is something I definitely dont want to see
.. comparatively lifecheshire yes .... saw my first game at the old filbert street as a 10 year old in 1969 ... so witnessed your mob at the height of their fame (or notoreity!)
