When you've had a patch of Filbert Street grass in your garden from our last ever match there.

My season ticket was in the Family Stand orange seats. Really wish I'd have taken mine.

Sick of this real/I was there in 2008/plastic fan/armchair fan bullshite.

If you need to fill the emptiness in your sad life by bragging about 'how big a Leicester fan you are' then look at yourself in the mirror.

Be thankful we now have owners who have given us the foundations to be where we are today, mainly in financial funds but also some savvy decision making. And we are in the global spotlight thus attracting fans from all creeds of all ages around the world which I think is fantastic.

You're a real Leicester fan when every night you draw your LCFC branded curtains, get under your LCFC branded duvet and dream about being Andy King playing for LCFC.

When you are Israeli and all the sports writers are trying to talk to you in order to explain what is going on.

When you are Israeli and showing your friends Matty Fryatt's shirt from 2008-09 season, My last visit in Leicester with my dad, Who was asking me why are we watching a League 1 game while we could watch a Champions League game in London and Matty wins Bristol 2-1 with 2 late goals and i scream my heart out.
 

When you don't find any good stream to Leicester games and that's basically your biggst problem in life for about 10 years.

When you were crying on the streets of Tel Aviv on your way home after we lost to Watford on the Championship playoffs and you coudln't explain that to anyone 'cuse they will be shocked you are a Leicester fan,
 

When walking with my Vardy shirt to work one day after the win against Chelsea is finally noticeable by people who didn't knew what is this strange Fox badge even means.

When your friends are telling you that "I'm so proud to say to my other friends that a friend of mine is a REAL Leicester fan!"
 

SO proud to be a Leicester fan here these days. Hope you guys are having the best of it too!

BTW, If you get to know any Israeli Leicester fans somewhere, Let them know we have a 700 guys community on FB! https://www.facebook.com/lcfcisr/

I think the plastic fan concern is a fair one to some extent. After all, one of the great joys of supporting an 'ordinary' club is the right to moral superiority over the Big Clubs with their glory hunter fanbase, who have no real ties to the club or city.

 

Worse than that, not only will some now question if we're glory hunters, but at the moment we're seen as the club of choice for hipsters, apparently. Supporting leicester as a fashion statement. Now there's a novelty.

 

I'm off to support sunderland, as surely that is the only safe option.

you know you're a Leicester Fan when you're earliest football memory is of Leicester City.

 

When you've felt emotional, had tears of joy or sorrow in your eyes, because of results involving Leicester City.

 

When you've had an adrenaline buzz, when you've just lost it and gone completely mental when Leicester City have scored a goal.

 

When you've felt nerves or excitement days before Leicester City's next match.

 

When you've been so angry and disappointed by a Leicester City defeat that you just don't want to talk about football to anyone for days.

 

That makes you a Leicester City fan!

 

It's pointless saying things like I was there when Josh Low was a decent winger.

 

I remember Cambridge in the playoff semi. My first game was the most rubbish 0-0 draw with Oxford.  I've travelled up and down the country watching Leicester play.  I was stood on the terraces at Yeovil in League 1.  I remember Steve Walsh's goals against Derby in the playoff final.

 

It doesn't make me a bigger or better fan, just means I'm older than some and more fortunate that I've been able to afford to travel to games and afford a season ticket every year.

 

What makes me a fan is the passion inside me for Leicester City.

 

If we get new fans across the country, across the world even, then fine by me.  As long as they share just a little bit of that passion.  I'm loving the attention we're getting.  I'm loving the media attention, I'm loving what most fans of other teams are saying about us. 

 

Just enjoying the ride

Take a bow Jimbo! Perfect response to a good question, bang on!

I remember when we drew against Stoke (after hitting the post) 0-0 and were relageted and I walked home in my Leicester shirt with my head down and completly devastated. Walked in to the house and went upstairs and locked myself in my bedroom.

....you witnessed THAT Gary Coatsworth goal.

I was in the Kop and my abiding memory is people complaining literally seconds before he struck it about how ineffectual and shit he'd been. I'm sure I remember a similar screamer at Oakwell? 

 

O.k. - How about, you know you're a Leicester fan if you can tell me whether Coatsworth ever scored away to Barnsley without looking it up.

You know you're a real Leicester fan when we're top of the league and you can't help feeling we're bound to fvck this up.

Yep, that's the winner for me.

 

I've been saying for months that we can't do fire extinguishers or alleged rape or ladies of easy virtue or casual racism or players breaking each others jaws or problems with drink or gambling.

 

This time it has to be on a whole new level.  My money is alien abduction.

When you say 'I just want to stay up'

If you remember the Baby Squad battles

If Martin O Neil is still your favorite manager

If you laugh when you hear the name Emil Heskey

He scored twice. Watched the season reviews constantly as a kid.
