Been following this site for a while and finally thought I would have a go. Been a season ticket holder for 4 years and seen a few away matches. I have four things to say Sack Pearson Swap the Kop with the family stand Lobby for safe standing Improve the atmosphere I had a dream about the latter and this is how it went: Scenario - Hey Jude has finished, birch has welcomed the away fans and the fox hunter has been played. The players approach the centre circle Action - the drums start to beat The east stand get to their feet and roar " we're the east stand we're the east stand we're the east stand over here" The west stand get up and roar " we're the west stand we're the west stand we're the west stand over here" The Kop follows suit " we're the Kop we're the Kop we're the Kop, we're the Kop we're the Kop we're the Kop........ Etc Finally the family stand " we are family, I got all my kids with me" - (sister sledge, with a twist) Finally with all 21326 people on their feet " we are leicester, we are leicester, we are leicester's football team I would love to say that the dream continued with the team going on to beat florest 4 0 to guarantee automatic promotion with 5 games left to play! Unfortunately that's where the dream ended Anyway enough of that crap - sack pearson
Welcome my son.. this is the home of hallucinogentic substances..on the evidence of your first post it looks like you will fit in well
First post? Funny, your username is familiar... EDIT: Was it not you who started this thread?: http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/205854-Last-chance-saloon?highlight=harborough
Harborough fox vs harboroughfox The devil is in the detail Clearly a lack of imagination on my part. I must try harder
Welcome Harborough fox ... my own dreams tend to involve Nicole Sherzinger, Rachel Weiss or Megan Fox these days ... but each to their own
Welcome. We'd all like that dream to happen. Although I had one about Cesc Fabregas I'd quite like to happen too....
Wouldn't do for us all to have the same tastes FF, and although Nicole's a nice girl that would be my issue...would take Roy Keane if Cesc wasn't available...
Lets go down this list in order: 1) Yes lets do that because history has shown us that sacking a manager always improves results We also have boatloads of money to spend - as evidenced by the millions we have spent this year - so can easily afford to sack the entire backroom staff The transfer window is open so the new guy can bring in his players with the aforementioned boatloads of money Or recent performances have been rubbish and we show no signs of improvement from last year This isn't our best start to a season in donkeys years In short, I respectfully disagree with this 2) Can't happen due to the police restrictions - the club have got around this by making the seats next to the away fans as cheap as the kop and it has now become the singing section. Have to give credit to them for that. 3) It is law that we have no standing areas - speak to your MP as the club can't do anything about it even if they wanted to. I find this ridiculous tbh given that Welford Road has standing areas without any problems. 4) Every club from Man Utd to Mansfield are trying to do this. Ultimately they best way to do it is to reduce ticket prices and for the fans to stop acting like entitled twats and actually support the team. Will never happen.
Fair play to you Foxy - but Roy Keane? ... do you also have a death wish? (he's even grumpier than me )
Can't disagree with most of your points BigFox. Did the standing pilot scheme proposed last year ever progress? I'm think just a bit weird Fosse...Bless him, he's not grumpy, he can't be, he manages (unfortunately) not to deck Adrian Chiles!
The clubs (apart from Middlesborough) want it, the Premier and Football leagues don't http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-to-push-for-safestanding-trials-8626274.html This part is interesting:
