Looking forward to being in the away end at Elland Road but not arsed about Leicester. Not a "rivalry" I care about, just something that gets aggy when we're in the same division. They're in the same place of the Derby/Forest/Leicester trio as we are in the Blues/Villa/Cov trio so we latch onto each other when we can.
leeds today I know it’s emotions but still -
Leicester against West Ham -

I sense disappointmentOne thing I have learned from my many decades following city is that when people predict it's going to 'kick off', it almost never does.
'chaos at New Street' was predicted pretty much every game when we were at St Andrews and nothing ever happened.One thing I have learned from my many decades following city is that when people predict it's going to 'kick off', it almost never does.

Would of loved to of seen that kick on a Luton fan, fucking teach them a lesson
They can have him at 3x our valuationI heard Leeds were in for Gyokeres. 3 x current salary.
Don't have a gf if blind faith doesn't have oneWhat lessons that?
Lucky you - Derby, Leicester, Wolves, Birmingham, Villa, West Brom, Stoke, Port Vale, Cardiff, West Ham, Arsenal, Tottenham, Leeds, Man City, Man Utd....Only time I’ve ever had coins thrown at me was at Filbert Street in 1998. Whelan scored a completely undeserved equaliser about 10 mins from time. Also barbed wire present in the away end.
Jeez! Fair enough, managed to stay away from many of the above named grounds. Roof slates sounds…well, scary!Lucky you - Derby, Leicester, Wolves, Birmingham, Villa, West Brom, Stoke, Port Vale, Cardiff, West Ham, Arsenal, Tottenham, Leeds, Man City, Man Utd....
Admittedly not always coins sometimes worse.
Skimmed roof slates at St Andrews.
The derelict housing at back of away end at St Andrews provided plenty of objects to throw, especially roof slates.Jeez! Fair enough, managed to stay away from many of the above named grounds. Roof slates sounds…well, scary!
My Grandad, god rest his soul, reckoned that Liverpool fans threw “spears” at us in the early 80s.
He also used to claim that he was the first white man to beat a black man in a 100m dash, so I took that claim with a pinch of salt.
When I was a kid in the late 80s, a guy was doing an extension on our house. On a Saturday he asked if I wanted to go and watch Birmingham v Barnsley with him (I know, how could I resist??)The derelict housing at back of away end at St Andrews provided plenty of objects to throw, especially roof slates.
Today's violence maybe more organised but sporadic. But in the 70s it was practically a full scale riot every week.
Smethwick railway station - police corralled fans so WBA could lob bricks over police cordon.
They were not nice days. Coming home meeting West Ham in Northampton and Leicester in Cambridge by accident was less than fun. A Times (aka Millwall brick) reading Millwall fan in Primrose Hill Park Coventry was best avoided.
Take a tabloid newspaper roll in as tight as you can from spine then bend it over in two. Now wack yourself on head with the bent fold. You will understand.
Our away support has changed a bit since we last played them, I think they’ll be in for a bit of a surprise.I am old enough to remember this one against them
their fans bought 200 tickets in what they thought was our end, with bad intentions, but it was the upper tier of the west stand full of families so they ended up terrorising dads and kids. While this was going on there was a mass brawl on the pitch with both sides pouring on and the match was stopped, it was mayhem
those days have long gone thankfully but there will be a real edge to this match

That wouldn’t surprise meWouldn't surprise me if Leicester tried going for Robins to be honest

Don't talk to me about the Liverpool fans, some of the worst fans in country, after a game at Anfield in the late 70s they smashed nearly all the windows in our coach, had to take people to hospital, blood every where.
It was a night game, didn't get back to Cov until 5 in the morning. Scum bags.
How many loyalty points would you need for a Leicester away day ?
84 match when latchford scored in a 2.0 win? I was at that match, fighting in all stands and fans with corner posts as weapons.I am old enough to remember this one against them

Yes I have a season ticket but I imagine most people with a season ticket will be trying to go to this game.In our first Championship era they always made general sale.
These days you'll probably need a season ticket for that one
Remember it well, the return fixture on the 23rd Dec was far worse. Running battles, shop windows smashed to get bottles as weapons then launched at full pelt, bricks thrown, bastards won 5-1 as well.84 match when latchford scored in a 2.0 win?
