You're a real Leicester fan when.......

[bluebeau]

You're a real Leicester fan when you are willing to take out a loan to buy a Pukka Pie & a pint of watered down lager!

[Vlad the Fox]

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

The acidic soil in my garden killed the pampered filbert street turf in about two weeks.

When you've always believed we are destined for great things

Never stopped dreaming.

When the song you automatically associate with City is "Always look on the bright side of life"

Remember yazoo 'the only way is up' being a song (I still sing frequently when thinking about the city) during the 'pleat out' years, there was even away tour t'shirts printed with it on.

Small world. It is humid and warm right now, in December. (Unusual). Long way to go to get a dog!

He was very fast and had a champion pedigree and when we got there half dead

Two silly Irish men in the Deep South lost and a long way from home

You're a real Leicester fan when you are willing to take out a loan to buy a Pukka Pie & a pint of watered down lager!

Bottles are ok

When as a 15/16 year old you would rather take a kicking than deny your Leicester allegiance. Luckily it turns out the two blokes weren't really shelf weds fans and were testing me to see if I was, my loyalty saving me. They then ran off to fight a wednesday bus bidding me farewell as I politely declined their kind offer to join them.

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

Against his old club! I remember one of them. I recall the round up on Central News with Tony Francis.

 

Thanks for that, I'll dig out the VHS - '92-'93 I reckon.

Your first game was Leicester vs Chelsea and you were sitting in the double decker at the age of 13 and grown men were beating the hell out of each other around you wondering why you had not just stuck with tigers..

I f I remember correctly the city v chelsea match was the same day as the Forest v Liverpool FA cup semi at Hillsborough,before the age of mobile phones and the internet the tannoy told us at half time it had been abandoned and most of us thought it was just the scousers going off on one again,not long after Heysel.That's if the match you mean was mid 80's.I was stood in the old main stand at filbo next to the white wall watching the game and then two loads of blokes running at each other in the top half of the double decker.Think Chelsea also needed the win to go up.

You're a Leicester fan when you remember your dad sitting you on the railing at the front of the kop to watch Georgie Best when there was no grass on the pitch and you remember Stevie Whitworth scoring the winner at Filbert Street in the charity shield against Liverpool!

[Jock Wallace]

You know your a City fan when you $!*K off to the toilet cus they always seem to score when you do  (Matt Piper vs T.H.F.C) The come back vs Villa this season(twice)... lots more inbetween..

[SystonFox]

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.

I'm a much bigger fan than you. I was there in 2008. You don't even know who Nils Eric Johansson is

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/

Fuchs sake we're fuching massive and I love it.

LEICESTER LEICESTER LEICESTER

[Aroberts123]

When on the last day of the season, lying in bed in my now home of melbourne listening to leicester vs forest and knockaert scoring the goal to send us to the play offs... And the next day, buying $2000 plane tickets to fly back for the semis against Watford. I arrived in london the morning of the home leg and made my way down to leicester with a pack of no-doz. Sat behind the goal in which nugent bagged his late header- thought we'd done it.  Was lucky enough to get tickets to the away leg through an old friend. That day remains one of the most depressing of my life- i dont think i slept for two weeks. Should have stayed in Australia in hindsight....    What an expensive and heartbreaking football trip!

 

I did spend half an hour the other day looking at flights back again (pretty cheap also). Ive said to myself if we continue this run for another few games ive got to get serious about it.  Although i am a bad omen, took the missus back last year, saw three games, west ham and villa twice (one in the cup)- lost them all.    Still, the only thing i really miss about England is watching leicester and a decent chicken balti.

You get a season ticket when we get promoted, take a flask and a cushioned seat cover to the game and you think clap banners were the best invention since sliced bread.

Remember your dad talking over the 6 swanns, matt gillies 1st match has manager, watching for the first time

your dad cry..when he reads over the manutd munich disaster.

Following the ice-kings,

watch city lose to manutd in the fa-cup final, starting the great manutd era.

Watching again charitable foxes help spurs to the double,

watch live Mclintock, D, Gibson, then with 30k fans roar out 'the Doog'

Be there for Wellers hattrick against liverpool and his goal of the decade against Luton,

listening to the foxes FA-cup exploits on the radio in the 60s

the hot air inflatable tent,

listen to shankley say, the best team we play every year, if we are euro champs, what are Leicester

Remembering Ali Brown and O'farrell

Singing...all the lads n lasses lined upon the terraces to watch jim bloomfield aces,

Gobsmacked, when reading Bloomfield buys Weller, Worthington, Sammels

The 3 degrees Lineker, lynex, Smith

The Birch throwing pkts of peanuts into the crowd, after grabbing an handfull from a vendor.

The kiss..birch n currie

Elliot playing striker, winning the league cup.

Lennon, Izzet, Parker in unison. Rarit.y

Walsh vs Arsenal

one game wonder.....Heskey, Colleymore, MON, then a stabbing pain

MON mental antics along the touch-line.

Feeling hurt, not of all those years of yo-yo club, but that single year in div1

NP having unfinished business, bringing our club out of a deep deep abyss.

When life passes before your eyes and you remember all this, or even the rest between the lines,

You can then truly tell st.peter at those pearly gates, 'I am a real leicester city fan'.

and I am sure it will be Rachel Riley, who will count-you-down on the white and blue clouds

Have tears, when seeing an italian arms out stretched not from an opera,

but our Claudio chearing and punching the air 2 fisted.realising 6 x totl

lastly, being born in a hunting county,...but proud to be a fox

Away, Fulham, Ian Wilson promotion year 198?.  

[baldeagle]

When you're a 15 year old kid and you go to your first match with your mates against Man Utd and we stuff them 3 -0 in the mid 80's . Every time we scored we got pelted with coins from the away fans I had never been so s**t scarred or excited before in one go. Plus I came out with more money than I went in with as I kept picking it up . I was hooked

But you said "Nils Eric" instead of Nisse. Total plastic.

With a big juicy turkey leg in one hand , a bottle of whiskey on you lap, in the other hand

typing with the little finger, holding a mince pie with the other fingers.

...... When you just cannot bring yourself to eat your Vardy salted crisps, even though you thought you would save them for a Christmas Day treat

[maddog]

You take an 11 hour round train journey and run to Ashton Gate from the station to get there on time.

Leicester City lose 2-0.

You then have to run up a big hill to get to your 5.20pm pre booked 5.5 hour train journey home.

A good day
