Frenzied Posted 10 March 2006 Share Posted 10 March 2006 Was reading a post about the Chelsea v Barca game earlier and our rivalry with Chelski was mentioned; I was only a kid when it started, I think, but would someone please explain what's behind that song (the chelsea ran away etc) and our mutual dislike for each other as clubs. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disillusioned Posted 10 March 2006 Share Posted 10 March 2006 Right season, wrong game. It was the infamous home game in the old Second Division on April 5th 1980 which City won 1-0 (Larry May header - what's he doing now?). After the winner, it all went off in the corner between the Kop and the chicken run underneath the old Members Stand. In those days before segregation, several hundred Chelsea fans had infiltrated that area knowing they were well placed for a ruck whichever way fortune ran. What took place was the largest mass brawl that I have ever seen inside a stadium. The match was televised on Soccer Sunday with the legendary Hugh Johns at the mike. His attention was drawn to the disturbance: 'there's a riot going on there in the corner - I've never seen anything like it!' I noticed just before the game squads of Chelsea Headhunters running down isolated Leicester fans outside Filbo. What was peculiar about this was their war cries. They had nothing to do with football. The scumbags were chanting 'National Front' and 'Seig Heil' and giving the Nazi salute. I remember one thug in their crew. I'm convined his doppelganger appeared alongside Wilder and Pryor in 'Stir Crazy' (the ginormous bald bloke). After that game I was convined that the far right was responsible for most football hooliganism, that it was clearly being organised and that it was being used as a training ground for their heavies. Footnote: Leicester went up as Champions that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footnote: Leicester went up as Champions that season. The Boxing Day reference though is from the same season when we played them at the Bridge on Boxing Day funnily enough! Leicester had a huge mob that day and it was mayhem, I was at both games, I remember the home game because I had left school the previous day never to return! Even sweeter was the fact that we beat them that day and that probably cost them promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting my seasons wrong again the game I went to was in 1983 we went up that season Fulham finished 4th-that was the season when Derby did us a favour by beating them in the last day of the season! Went on the coach in 78 when we nearly went down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonbluefox9 Posted 10 March 2006 Share Posted 10 March 2006 I remember going to watch Chelsea play a few seasons ago at Stamford Bridge and that was the first time I heard that they sing about us. At the time I had no idea why but now it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultra Posted 11 March 2006 Share Posted 11 March 2006 The game wasn't all-ticket though. So Chelsea would just pay on the gate same as the home fans did. Clubs and plod weren't so clued up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFC UK Posted 11 March 2006 Share Posted 11 March 2006 It seems to kick off a few times against Chelsea. Wasnt there an incident a few years back in the cup, at chelsea? I think it was the one the ref cost us the game, i watched it on sky and saw all leicester fans running on the pitch and fighting with the chelsea fans and the camera panned away and the commentator said 'we wont view that, we dont need this in football' or something along them lines.

macfox Posted 11 March 2006 Share Posted 11 March 2006 The reason Chelsea fans sing "and Leicester" is because on one of the motorways is a signpost stating ... "The North and Leicester" ...ahem I thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
