I think it was around 1973/4, me and a mate did a last minute race to Leicester for a City game. We left Potters Green club at about 2.20, and got there for the start of the match. (I must admit, I broke the speed limits by quite a long way...)

On the way back to the car after the game, my mate suddenly grabbed me to stop himself falling because he had been tripped by one of a bunch (about 20) of Leicesters neanderthals who were clearly looking to kick lumps out of 2 lone Sky Blues.

To my eternal shame, just as it was about to "kick off" I said "We're from f**king Leicester you idiots" after which they stood confused for a second or two before running off to find some other Cov fans.

At the time, the relief watching their stupid expressions, whilst laughing at the fact I had insulted them whilst escaping a beating, was the over riding emotion.

Now, all these years later, I wonder if I should have taken the beating to escape the shame of saying I was a Leicester fan.... :D

Had a season ticket in the East Stand at Highfield Road, and had to go to the loo just before half-time.

The Sky Blue Crew were practicing their moves under the stand in the concourse, and I was somehat distracted by the sight of nubile girls jumping up and down(expect a knock on the door from operation Yewtree now), and walked straight into the toilet without really looking.

When met with a lot of stalls, but no urinals I realised that I'd gone into the ladies by mistake.

Walked out to be met by them all standing still in silence.

Did a little embarrassed wave and went into the gents.

Didn't come out until they'd gone!

You hadn't got it out, forgotten, and walked out with it clasped in your palm had you ;)

It always embarrasses me when useless objects and rubbish are thrown on to the pitch. The worst example was the day John Gayle played up front vs Wycombe.

in the old days of 2p bus fares went to watch villa v west ham with 2 mates . back in cov - 3 villa supporters at the back copped us, and followed us off the bus

We scarpered in a 2 and a 1. They followed in a 1 and a 2. My mate on his own who was followed by 2 got a real kick in. Me and my other mate, when we realised we were only being chased by 1 of them just stopped and turned round - the villa supporter - stopped in his tracks and started sprinting the other way

I remember I'd only been in the Sky Blue Crew a few weeks and I was put off by this weird pervert walking into the ladies toilets and then going into the mens and staying in there for a suspiciously long time. When the girls told me he does that every game, I knew this wasn't the place for me.

You did have great legs though to be fair.

I stacked it down about 3 blocks worth of stairs at Hillsborough a few years ago.

But I was steaming so it was funny.

Going to the quarter final in 87 at Hillsborough, getting in with a few mates after downing too many lagers, and as the toilets were packed with other tanked up City fans we decided to have a piss by a wall next to the urinals.Just my luck to get spotted by a copper and me and my mate got nicked.We spent the whole match in the cells,and got charged with being drunk and disorderly.I had to go back to Sheffield to court and got a poxy fine.They banned me from the semi-final too,but luckily got to the final. And in the cells along with other City fans who'd been nicked for various stuff,we were told we had been beat, the bastards ! You could say they were taking the piss !

If it's not been mentioned already (haven't checked the whole thread), the defeat at Tranmere was pretty feckin embarrassing

That and the two blokes from London Supporters getting abused by other "fans" at Preston I think, just because they said they go to games at Sixfields

2 mates and I went to the Ricoh dressed as Elvis in £2 onesies from Primark and £1 white sunglasses .
Mercia took our picture in Elvis pose mode. Looking at their website later we looked like 3 fat middle aged blokes dressed like teletubbies.
It honestly did seem like a good idea at the time. :thinking about:

Funny how you give players greif.

I remember I was sitting in the front row of the East stand giving John Hartson loads of shit every time he was in our box. He had just had a hair transplant and was playing for Wimbledon.

From a corner he had a sly look around and then give me the wankers sign ( I know some things never change)
It was really funny as people were saying you should report him? But to be fair I had given him a shed load of grief.

Then a few games later we signed him and the rest is history.

Your shame of calling yourself a Leicester fan reminds me of a girl I knew growing up. She had decided to "Come out" to her parents and was breaking the news to her Mother in the kitchen. Mum suddenly grabbed her by the hair and pushed her head into the sink trying to drown her daughter.
Dad, hearing the commotion rushed into the kitchen and shouted "What's going on" The Daughter admitted she was trying to tell Mum she was a lesbian. Mum burst into tears and said "Thank God for that I thought you said you were a Leicester Fan"
