We did. Their keeper got knocked out by a chair seat thrown by one of our lot in the upper tier. Had to be replayed behind closed doors.

I still have somewhere, and passed on copies to Riaz for his records, memoirs and books, the very pictures of us and the DLF at DCFC's ground. I can't be mistaken as when else did LCFC play anyone else other than DCFC at their ground? Maybe other DCFC went at us but the DLF (main core) were with us. We were with them in the upper tier and can even remember the plans being made days beforehand to make the alliance.

Th Baby Squad joined forces with the DLF (Derby Lunatic Fringe) for a while. (A short while if I remember right) How do I know? I was involved and still have the photo's of us all at DCFC ground when we played Burton Albion. Great bunch of lads tbh. Not sure how long our alliance lasted but I think the rivalry meant more to some than others.

Was a bit dire in the lower tier and a majority of the chants and songs drifted from left to the right as it seemed more fun over towards their lot on the left. We just had the helicopter and flat cap bell-ends near us. I swear we have more fans leave the KP at 80 mins than they had in their whole ground.

A huge majority seemed to be complete families. Mums, dads and their kids or just dads with kids. I'd be interested in how they managed to get tickets as having been a ST holder right next to M block I've never seen any of them before. Almost like it was a one off day out family treat for the kids and not the norm for a match day. Did they somehow offer tickets to non members? They all seemed to have a good time anyway.

BigMickey, A little advice if I may.... Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt. You're welcome!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL ON HERE. It's you people that make this forum one of the best out there and it's my go to pages whenever I wake up, wherever I am around the globe due to work, and I always catch up on the days stuff before sleeping with a few dips in and out during the day when I can. There's not one person on here I have any issues with or don't respect, we are ALL Foxes first and foremost, so let's hope we all have something massive to celebrate in 2024. I have a feeling we will! Peace And Love.

And that’s the day I truly give up on life and any future hope for it. 😩 Would I also offend any fatherless children too I wonder? 🤔

The same as….. we’re top of the league we’re top of the league we’re Leicester City we’re top of the league. Was it really a hard one to work out?

Think I've only ever seen him once in the media/tv when he's not playing/played and that was in a A League Of Their Own. Be very interesting to see how he comes over when he's hung up his boots for good. Could see him going more into media work as opposed to coaching/managing. Is his V9 academy still going?

I genuinely can't see JV ever wading in on political things. I could see his wife staying quiet about the judicial system too.........Oh hang on!

(My bold) In response to "Is this a library" or "Football in a library"..... You can't even read You can't even read Thick northern (or southern) b******s You can't even read

I can attest to that. For all that "Mr Nice guy" image that was banded around years ago, I can tell you from personal experience and that of some of my colleagues it is as far from the truth as is possible.

Have you tried Sertraline?

The sheep was put on a Cardiff supporters windscreen as they queued to exit the stadium car park much to the amusement of exiting LCFC fans. It sat there for around 20 seconds and they even put the wipers on to shift it but it refused to be thrown off. Eventually another pissed off looking Cardiff fan removed it for them. I think it was probably put to its death then...or maybe even taken home for the night for a bit of romance. .

Yeah, top atmosphere tonight. Great fun to be in the midst of it all. A bit of a fun highlight...... the waving to Enzo. Class!

I hear ya but right next to the away lot you’ve got L1 one side and block P the other. On good days both can be really vocal, boisterous and loud but, today especially, there was next to nothing response to anything they chanted. I noticed more were seated today than usual, it seems to go hand in hand with a dull atmosphere. Not sure which is causing which, sitting lending itself to quietness or the silence and lack of a noisy atmosphere causing people to sit. I’m just hoping things change for the better when we have Prem teams back next season. Not holding my breath tho.

But nothing is as dire as it is/was today/these days! With 30,000+ of us it should be hugely more vocal, audible and atmospheric than it is. Every game the opposing fans taunt our atmosphere, or lack of, and I stand there thinking " Well, I can't argue with them" Even today "3-0 up and you still don't sing" rang out loudly from a few hundred of them and none of our 30,000 fans, or whatever was left by then, could be arsed to respond. What's it gonna take?

For me, and those around me in P block, that was the worse atmosphere of the season so far and I'm embarrassed as **** at the amount of so called "fans" leaving early. It's getting worse every home game and I can't see it stopping anytime soon. WTF is it gonna take for this club to take measures to turn our gaff into the place it once was? It's pathetic and becoming a joke. One moaning bloke in the pub beforehand saying he leaves on 80 minutes because he gets home 20 minutes earlier than if he leaves at full time. 20 minutes!!!! Mate, if your wife is as dull as you I'd not want to get home 20 minutes earlier! Stay and support the lads FFS!

Said it before, we need to call (sing) them out. A rendition of the old "Loyal Supporters" chant from our own directed towards our own to make it known we've seen you and you are an embarrassing disgrace. No doubt it would still be water off a ducks back to these entitled ignorants.

Hereford away, in the early 80's. Think it might have been an FA cup game. My first ever away game and the football special train broke down for hours on the way home in the middle of nowhere. Obv no such thing as mobile phones or devices then so it was just a case of sitting there in old style train cabins waiting it out. Was wayyy into the small hours when we eventually got back to Leicester station. I was chatting casually to an ex mate a few years back about this, turns out he was on the same train. Was anyone else on here on it?

Still looking for 2 for this but 1 would be good too. Cheers.

I can just imagine it, the day we get presented with the Championship Winners trophy after a home game and STILL they leave in droves on 80 minutes. That will be the day I truly give up on our fanbase.

Was surprised at some booing for Vesty as he was subbed off. Those loyal ones of us just looked at each other with a WTF? shocked look on our faces.
