Leicester (18 Viewers)

[MacReady]

I’d just ban people coming in on the wind-up from other clubs personally. I like speaking to the Brum lot as they’re nice… but Leicester. Block the IP.

Seem to recall them turning up in Rugby before a game at a pre arranged meet up and Rugbys wing of the Legion gave them a good reception.

Brownie and Martin?

Remember the BS doing The Minstrel after stopping off after a game, advised a couple of my mates to leave before they kicked off.

I’ve probably been on here longer than you sweet cheeks.

Which in itself is fairly sad.

Blimey!! the Minstrel, that is going back into the mists of time. I had my first pint in there aged 14!!

Yeah...... You might want to dwell on that for a while. Fulfilling life is it?

Nobody cares about coventry , but you all have something to say about us ( sunderland , Leicester, villa )

Hackney is sound. All GMK survivors are welcome here.

A few times at Filbert St too. Think it was a 1-1 early 80s some fighting on the pitch, the 5-1 defeat in 84 was carnage, Leicester BS got well and truly put in there place, I witnessed it all before and after, City rounding up the pubs and clubs going over in vans and cars, proper mob that day

Not here to wind anybody up , just giving my honest response to this messsge
I don’t know whether you were actually around and at any or all the matches in question or or going on what you’ve heard but I’ve been at all but a couple of our meetings since 1976 home and away and hands up I have nearly always been in the right place at the right time to give my honest recollections.
The 70s were the 70s , scarves , too many buttons on your trousers and piss and spit back and forth in The West End.
Agro outside pubs on the way into HR , 77 Cov getting a corner of our Kop as overflow “Save all your bottles etc”
I knew Cov well from 79-81 as I was at building college for 3 years , Winfrey Building , The Butts opposite The Hertford and Hen and Chickens. Early 81 we came over on the X69 and took the Silver Sword early then ran amok .Was tasty afterwards around Pool Meadow, very tasty .
We got relegated so no matches in 82
Some of yours tagged on with us in early 83 , BamBam, Scotty included and they couldn’t believe how many lads we had at the time
Maybe 300 while you had about 50 young dressers. Things got nasty between 83-85
We still had too many numbers but Cov was as I already knew a dangerous place to get caught out.
I was on the pitch in 84
The 5-1 game just before Xmas we were waiting in town but sane as it’s always been you wouldn’t venture into our City Centre.
we made our way to the ground in drubs and drabs and basically Cov did a number on us around Uppertimon/Narborough Road.
a few fat lips and broken noses as early Crimbo presents.
Now anybody who ever tries to make out any different to what I’m going to say about afterwards wasn’t there or is dreaming.
The aforementioned 300 or so BS had all made their way up to the top of Upperton Road by the tame the match finished. As for you lot having it off around the ground and near the canal you migh have, I was up the road with our lot.
we saw you bouncing up Upoerton Road and about 30 of us stop in sight , you were loving it ….. for about 30 seconds until the side strret emptied out in front of you and kicked ( literally)
back down the road, you split up , you legged it.
One of ours had to stand over one of yours to protect him from taking anymore , I think he’d done time with him (Basher I think he was called)
You were ruined
After that not a lot until you came to Leicester and plotted up in The Charny , good mob you had that day.
I was on the Foleshill Road with our lot for that Bellamy Sunday game. Didn’t have a ticket so shot back up the 69 to watch it at home. Glad I did cos I was with those lads that got done in that boozer in Stoke while the game was on.
They said it was hairy.
Since those days who cares?
City Arms, no thanks.
I dud nearly get a crowbar in my head in Exhallin 2006 when I was in the doorway of a boozer “The something Bull “ and a car load of lunatics piled out and went mental !
Respect.

Villas are the biggest club in the Midlands with their reaches going all over it more so than the other clubs. I can absolutely assure everyone that Warwickshire based Villa fans for example love to bang on about us, even if they say they don't care. Villa fans from weird midland towns like Tamworth or Lichfield in Staffordshire or whatever, probably not so much.

Is it true that Saturday will be your biggest crowd since Bon Jovi?

No, it won't be our biggest crowd in the past 6 months

Probably the most sad and pathetic post I've read on here for a long time.

Seems quite respectful tbh

 

[pusbccfc]

So mobbed for the first two trains after the game?

Yep. Both ways. The police or whoever have control of it may likely close it.

It's frustrating because it's so convenient when running. Literally minutes from town and the 3rd closest station in the country to a ground.

Is anybody actually convinced when another fanbase says they absolutely do not care about another all the time , like sunderland fans do to us yet talk about us all the time

Spot on, worked in Brum, Brummie Villa fans not too bothered, Villa fans from Nunearon, Leamington etc, see it as a big game.

Not talking about the delivery, which was very polite.

 

[pusbccfc]

We apparently have no rivals but seem to be hated by loads.

Get your head out of the sand
It’s like casual racism,homophobia etc

Getting the train after the game is a whole nother level of fuckery compared to getting it pre game.
Best avoided altogether.

Alot of villa fans over 50 have a dislike for Coventry full stop

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

How busy is the train to/from the ground?
Seriously only one train an hour on matchdays? Same organizers as the Safety Group?

Cheeky Bastard, taking the mick at our train service ,station. Just remind everyone what you have at your Stadium ----- JACK SHIT.

 

[robbiethemole]

I'm glad all the fighting and legging it is a thing of the past, I can only just manage a quick walk nowadays hahaha

Can you see I was just being honest about the bad old days?

I think it's just a summary of the stuff that has happened before, during times that were very different. Wasn't an attempt to glorify it, merely it was to illustrate that this fixture has a lot of history to it.

I understand that it's a summary of the experiences of a minority of idiots.

 

[robbiethemole]

and being penned in behind the cages at grounds, the authorities really fucked us about in those days, treated us like animals, when only some were

A Premier League Trophy on view?
A recent FA Cup, unlike yours which was from before pickles the dog.

Erm we don’t need a station as our ground is fairly close to the city centre.

you haven't been to Leicester game since before Emile Heskey

It was far from a minority.
Remember playing them in the 80s o a Sunday, about 70 minutes in a good 3k piled out the ground on to Gosford for the row.
It's how it was.
I wasn't in to it but sometimes in those days you couldn't help but get caught up in it.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Was a time not so long ago when our local derby's and biggest rivals were Burton and Walsall lol. Dark dark days.
