Guest Electric Yetis Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Boro in the snow haha. I remember walking 4 miles each way to go & see it even when it was being shown on the tv Yep this was my row on that night
Soar Fox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Hold the moral high ground lads, hold it well. They'll never feel what we do. This. They will never have the feeling like we do when celebrating a last minute equaliser against Yeovil or a last minute winner against Norwich.
aussie-fox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 As a Aussie that was such a experience. Leaving 2hrs early from fleckney to get there on time. Having to push our car over a village bridge as it was too icy to actually drive up it. Then to top it off a penalty save by Kasper in the last min!
promised land Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Yep this was my row on that night I'm in that photo, right at the bottom of the 'P', there's a blob of black on the row above me, they all walked in, I'm on the next row down and the only one who got there. I even went in full snowboarders jacket and salopettes. Boro missing the late penalty is about all I remember of it now.
GaelicFox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 This is the best hypothetical example I have ever witnessed Cheers .... Was a bit worried the FT Taliban would Jump on the analogy
Sharpe's Foxes Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 My boss is a Brummie with Birmingham City sympathies. Recently started asking about getting City tickets. That's okay though. Demari Gray makes him a virtual in law.
Biggus Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 We made the borough game. The roads were empty. Must be in that photo somewhere. In the family stand those days.
Guest Electric Yetis Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I was walking past Iceland on Saffron Lane when Liam Moore abandoned his his car and ran off towards the stadium.
Kitchandro Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 A couple of my mates thought it was funny when we went down to league 1. They goaded me about it then and still do now. Oh and I remember them making some really sarcastic comments about my mood on the way out the stadium when we lost at home to Cardiff in the play-offs. Oh and they love telling me we have no rivals (yeh, seriously). I mean they're my closest friends but they're a couple bellends actually. They make out they're Leicester fans (one of them supported Man U until about 5 years ago) but they've only ever really had a passing interest and the above says it all about them really. But they get offended if you suggest they don't really give a shit and I can't be doing with the hassle so I just let it slide. They're now desperate for away tickets, 'how many do you think you can get for Chelsea?' er considering it's not a glamour fixture and there will be nothing riding on it and we're a crap team.....2 at best you twat and why do you think you deserve to be one of them?!
Eastwellfox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I can honestly say that I witnessed Elvis Hammond attempting to play football at the walkers on a number of occasions. That classes me as a die hard Leicester fan !
Buggsteam Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Been a Leicester fan all my life. Living just outside Birmingham now tho. Had my Leicester shirt on to go to the gym and had so many ppl tell me I'm a glory hunter. So funny how you can be judged with out them even knowing me
Staffs Fox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I've suffered the indignity of being called a plastic fan! I was out recently with some people from my misses work and two lads said 'so who'd you support' after I told them they both went 'I bet only for the past 6 months and almost dismissed me!' It was as if I said I was a man united fan from London! It was so bizarre after 20 years of almost ridicule and almost sympathy when I told people!
ramboacdc Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I was walking past Iceland on Saffron Lane when Liam Moore abandoned his his car and ran off towards the stadium. i remember this day. i got my car pushed out of tudor road and took me 4 hours to get to whitwick....i dont live there.
Mayofox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Boro in the snow haha. I remember walking 4 miles each way to go & see it even when it was being shown on the tv Snow blizzard, uncovered end at Notts County, around 1980, Div 2. Feeling sick, managed to puke up on the terrace only once. Didn't want to miss the match. Plastics should go through this as an initiation process.
Gerard Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Plastics have my disgust and sympathy. Anyone who abandons their local team to support some shitheads 100+ miles away just screams a complete lack of character and moral fibre. The one that have suddenly changed back to Leicester because we're very fashionable now are vile creatures but if Leicester win the title it will be the greatest day of my life, more so than getting married, having a child, etc. I take comfort in the fact that I and true Leicester supporters will be at a place they could never dream of being. Leicester 'til I die.
ramboacdc Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 They're now desperate for away tickets, 'how many do you think you can get for Chelsea?' er considering it's not a glamour fixture and there will be nothing riding on it and we're a crap team.....2 at best you twat and why do you think you deserve to be one of them?! i am noticing this too. i dont go many aways for many reasons but my mate who i get tickets for (currently i get his tickets.. he has "booking history") is now apparently going to chelsea away cuz "my mate whose a season ticket holder, his mate aint going so im having his ticket." so thats why ive got you all the home and away fixtures for you when my sales time comes up. also laughed at a plastic who hasnt been since Sheff wednesday in the championship around the year before we got relegated saying all over facebook "i was there when we were shit." yeah...but you didnt ****ing stay did ya? the mrs has converted (She converted when i took her to qpr last season) and my 5 year old has now never known a bad season. also i have had 5 different people PM me out the blue here asking for tickets. even had FB requests from people i got away tickets for in jan. unbelievable.
Vacamion Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Best way to show your allegiance is not new is to sport your old Topps Tiles or Walkers or Ind Coope shirts...
erlee Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Best way to show your allegiance is not new is to sport your old Topps Tiles or Walkers or Ind Coope shirts... I have got Alliance - does that count?
ramboacdc Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Best way to show your allegiance is not new is to sport your old Topps Tiles or Walkers or Ind Coope shirts... my walkers one doesnt fit me. i was in year 4 at the time however.
Corky Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Hold the moral high ground lads, hold it well. They'll never feel what we do. I agree. What a soulless existence to go from one team to another based on some sort of reflected glory.
Carl the Llama Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I still have LiamLCFC's radio Leicester Ustream page bookmarked on my laptop. Hardcore to the max.
foxoffderby Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Hello Ladies and gents. How many have you have experienced the theory I refer to as 'plastic fan turncoats' I'll give you a prime example I car share with a plastic United fan. We had a meeting today with some contractors and they congratulated him on Leicester's success (assumed he was a city fan) and he agreed saying yes 'we should go on and win it' WE? Haha I laughed my head off. He was lauding over this like the cat that got the cream. This is one of many examples. A few more 'Liverpool' fans that live locally suddenly announce they are die hard Leicester. I'd love to hear about your guys experiences as it really makes me laugh. I remember seeing Blackburn Rovers shirts randomly being worn way back when they won it. I think we could see this trend appearing if we go on and win it in random towns across the land! I also remember Blackburn and Newcastle tops being worn by local kids when they were doing well. Wonder if those kids still support those teams. I put it down to bad parenting
Munshi Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 I still have LiamLCFC's radio Leicester Ustream page bookmarked on my laptop. Hardcore to the max.Good old days
SystonFox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 My bro in law is a man Utd fan but week in week out comments on Facebook about Leicester results and "GO ON VARDS" Got called out about it last night when posting about results going our way. His reply was "yeah I was united in the 90s but I'm always Leicester really" Bet he doesn't even know who James Wesolowski is
4everfox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 If you don't know who Paul Henderson is then you aren't a real Leicester fan.
