Behind Leicester City - the hidden die-hard fans (Union FS)

Recommended Posts

Posted

Christ on a bike. For reasons too tedious to mention, I read through three pages of comments before watching the actual video. So I was expecting to watch two blokes making complete fools of themselves. Now I've just watched it and they just seem like two decent blokes whose views I largely agree with. Especially the bit about not wanted to be funded by the club. Keep up the good work, lads.

Wow...didn't expect the relationship between this group of fans and the owners are that bad after the Foxes've just won the biggest trophy of its 132 year history.

I think it was beer talk and "we own the club" not some "Thai billionaire" talk

In fairness it's a sentiment many agree with , they just made a right tit of themselves doing that interview drunk

I fear it will just leave many people seeing unionFS as elitist fans

But I'll give them this they totally smash the sterotype that unionFS is full of lower class knuckle dragging stone island wearing scum lol

These two are the only Tory voting posh boys I know who become "left wing ultras" on Saturdays lol

Pen 1 ? surely some mistake?

Away fans in pen 1 after '78. Unless you meant pre '78 when pen 1 was the closest you could get to the away fans in the east stand?

How do you know they're "posh" and what party they vote for (if they vote at all)?

Nothing beats making general assumptions about people you've never met in your lifetime - and judging by your comments in this thread, you can't be really arsed to do so, can you?

 

You're a bit on a self-righteous crusade in this thread, aren't you?

I spent several games standing in pen 1 in the early nineties.

When we went all seater the whole Kop became Leicester, I used to have a season ticket in pen 1.

I genuinely think it's the funniest football related ultra video/thread I have ever seen

It could be expanded to a Ricky Gervis or peter Kay type mockumentary , Could be a fast show sketch lol

It's Genuis and the guys are obviously taking the Michael

It's not real , the whole thing is staged lol it has to be

Actually yes, now you mention it I can remember standing in there.

We were all stood on here this night

We couldn't see a thing after they let off the pyro's

Most of us stood in there giving it large lol the first thing we saw was Tim pick the ball out of the net , and even that was just visible !!!

Larry and Mo would have loved it in there lol

There was seats but no body used them unless to try and send over the mesh

Think the seats went in in 92/93

First time I went in this guy came over Billy his name was would be 50-55 now I guess Someone said he was Top boy

Anyway I was stood in this spot and the conversation went like this

Billy "who the Fcuk are you"

Me "I'm ME"

Billy "well ME Fcuk off out of that spot my mate stands there and he will be here in a mo and you better be gone"

Me "ok boss I thought reserved places was for women only "

Billy "cheeky cu*t I'll lay you out and we hate Irish Ira ***** as well do Fcuk off now " , he was now joined by at least half a dozen dodgy dressed young men

Me : no reply ...I just moved quickly away trying not to shit myself as I went lol

Came back the next week , stood at the back and not a single word from Billy again , which I was glad about

He later got a banning order and his girlfriend Karen was on my uni course and he turned out to quite like Irish people

Ha ha ha

The original point would have been better made recalling Pen 3 in the eighties. Pen 2 was often empty but was opened to away support for bigger games, both sets of fans separated by inches and a steel mesh. The most dangerous part, other than the fact that you were caged in, was getting out safely at the end because the exit/entrance was so small. When you look back retrospectively, the Hillsborough tragedy was inevitable. The atmosphere was incredible, but it was a dark era of football. 

 

Aside from the dangers of being penned in, the fearsome part of the ground in the '80s was actually upstairs in the Double Decker and the pitched battles between rival fans. In the Kop you could hear the rumbling above and very often the entire Main Stand would be facing right, watching the fighting instead of the game.

Dark days indeed

I wish people would stop referring to Union FS as ultras.

Ultras go around trying to look hard and make a name for themselves amongst other fans. UFS just go for it every game, in a non confrontational way in support of the team. To label them ultras is a bit derogatory IMO.

Also, what's with the middle class snobbery? 95% of the country is middle class these days and football is no longer exclusive to the working class, so get over it. As an insult it means nothing.

Yes totally and the Double Decker was basically a sloped, seated and unsegregated boxing ring.

I've seen there faces around the group, are they on here them two?

If I'm not mistaken isn't one of them the drummer? Always trying to keep the atmosphere alive

Have you watched the video ???

37 seconds into the video they state

"We came out all guns blazing , left wing ultras saying Fcuk the club"

It's obviously what they like to be seen as !!!!

95% of the county is middle class lol

Right ohh , no doubting your political leanings , 95% middle class lol

And if you can't see the funny side and irony of two well spoken young men being "left wing ultras" your missing the humour the lads are putting in here

It's very funny I love it
