What is Leicester like as an away day?

[FriendlyLCFC]

Interested to hear your thoughts. Being a Leicester fan I do not know what it's like and I've always wondered what Leicester's like as an away day. Is our atmosphere one of the better ones in the league would you say? Stadium view, atmosphere, design, parking etc.

Does your perception change because of us using clappers? I do worry because what we have, and what we do at our stadium doesn't seem to do a lot for our reputation as a club. Appreciate any comments on this.

Thanks.

For me

Easy to park, but a pain getting in to the City Centre from the East

I like the ground, easy to walk to, good friendly and noisy crowd

When we have won and lost still had good chats with opposing fans

Given the above, the clappers are just so wrong

Good day out - great atmosphere in a nice stadium and some decent pubs not far from the ground. Hopefully we'll give you more of a game this year - Shawcross going off changed the game and once the first went in we never looked like getting back into it.

Pretty awful I would say for nearly all 19 clubs that visited last season LOL

You've turned it into a fortress, Ill say that. Whether you sustain that this season is another matter

I kind of wish we still had a bit of that siege mentality that works so well for you, we've sadly lost in favour of trying to play like Barcelona.

Kind of off topic but that ball over the top with Vardy running on to it is the football I love to see. I despise elitism about how the game is played, all this play the right way crap.

Hmmm, tv's limited(none), not much drink choice, sat next to clueless 5year olds (to stokes right behind the goal), the other side we have a bunch of abusive twats.

Other than that its ok.

Oh but its in the corner

The clappers are truly cringeworthy, on a par with friggin vuvuzelas, drums and idiots with bells.

Bloody drummer placed next to the away fans kills the atmosphere for away support. Not to mention those clappers. Come on what does it say about Leicester fans when they need all that artificial stuff to generate an atmosphere?

Went in your first season up on the official coaches due to the close proximity. Slight shame the pubs wern't a little closer, but with that said, ours is a disgrace in this regard. Stadiums nice and clean, good choice on offer at the bar / food stalls.

You're atmosphere was non existent that day and the clappers are the worst things about your support, akin to the England band. Be interesting to see how it goes now you've been given the holy grail.

Nice easy accessible stadium except for the cramped concourse and toilets, excellent club shop. The atmosphere was good but those clappers are are worse than some dick banging on a big drum all match and if I remember right you have both.

Bit of shithole in the centre but great for a curry

[nottspotter]

Decent stadium, good concourse and I like the personal touch of putting the teams crest up above the bars and staircases. Also the placards that show the distance travelled from ground to ground.

I went to uni in Leicester and went to a few games with mates and have to say that the atmospheres then were awful, the chants unimaginative and the fans clueless. Yes it creates a lot
Of sound but The clappers are awful and like many have said it's a sad affair when a Club needs aids to generate an atmosphere.

It's also not remotely intimidating.

Decent ground
Easy enough access from the station
Although the city centre is a wankhole
Good curry houses
Decent amount of watering holes
Friendly fans
Clappers are tinpot though
Away fans can make lots of noise beacuse the roof acoustics
Overall, 7/10

The clappers are not even championship. If I were a Leicester fan I'd go around ripping them out of fans' hands and stamping on them.

So small time. Strong vocal support is all that's needed at football

At least its not Filbert Street!!

Been the last two years and what a difference! First season your support was awful, perhaps not surprising as you were bottom and resigned, it appeared, to relegation. Our following was large and noisy all game (there are a couple of YouTube videos shot by one of your fans which accurately portray the noise we made that day) and got louder when Bojan scored. That drum is really annoying - there is no room for musical instruments at football stadiums imo.

Last year, complete reversal, again not surprising I suppose!

Very professional and welcoming staff at the ground. As it should be and just goes to show you can have a perfectly successful side without making your ground as hostile and unfriendly as possible! All in all a good away day. I'll be going back this season.
