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

Recommended Posts

Yeah they said that's what the fosse boys did and they started getting banned. So they formed union FS and took a different approach.

You may want to watch the video before you judge

How could you judge that ? It's funny , it's a proper piss take

They were the fosse boys , you can't just switch from being a left wing ultra to a family fans group lol

The lads are taking the piss and having a very clever laugh

I know they were part of the group. But as they say they was teenagers and we all do cvnt things when we were teens and they were just following the crowd. A few years on they're older and have learnt what not to do and started there own group

Your missing my point

1) they seem top blokes

2) they love the club

3) I think they are deliberately being OTT

4) they are proper pissed and I love that honesty

5) they are very very funny

I'd love to see them do a regular vlog outside the Swan !

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

lol

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.

It used to be a proper adrenalin rush when they opened pen 2 with coins rattling off the mesh as the away fans came rushing at the baying City fans just a few feet away on the other side of mesh, it was so loud with the low roof, the word hostile doesn't do it justice. I would often lift my legs and move with the tide of the crowd it was that packed.

I can remember the rumble of the double decker seats as the fighting broke out well, often with the Kop going mental because we knew what was happening upstairs. Funnily enough I found an old Mercury last year with a report on violence in the double decker, the first line went something like 'the worst outbreak of violence for six months', without any shock or horror, that brought it home to me how common football violence was, looking back it just seemed a normal part of football, to be expected. Some of the fighting that went on especially inside the stadium is unthinkable in today's football but it brought football to its knees, whatever you think about sky and the premier league it proved vital in reviving the game and bringing it out from the pit it was in.

re pen 1 and all seater stadia. I had forgotten that it changed in the early nineties. Was it still called pen1 etc when it went all seater?

Remember a West Ham game around 1980 where I decided to make an early exit and they were already lying in wait in the girders above the exit. they don't bother with me but it kicked off at full time. it generally did.

The bit about gold being thai king and his face being a bit pissed off its not white and blue ! eerrr have they forgotten we wouldnt be in this position without top and vichai and all their investment and key decisions etc - some fans never look at the bigger picture

Thought they came across pretty well. Agree with a lot of what they say.

Fair play to a couple of lads who want to make a difference.  The atmosphere has been the best in a home end anywhere in the country since they set up, even when the we were bottom last season.

 

It's very easy to be a keyboard warrior, but we're all Leicester aren't we?
