Hundreds of Danish fans chatted to Foxes supporters as they drank in the pubs and bars and ate food at restaurants, bistros and takeaways in the city Most of the visiting FC Copenhagen fans congregated in and around Jubilee Square, where the city council had created a pre-match fanzone. image: http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/images/localworld/ugc-images/276308/binaries/copenhagen fans2.jpg FC Copenhagen fans at the fanzone in Jubilee Square Music and entertainment was provided on a stage while a big screen showed highlights from City's title-winning season. Oliver Thomsen had travelled up from London, where he is on an internship arranged by his school in Denmark, for his team's Champions League match against Leicester CIty. He said: "I love Leicester. It is the best place I have ever been. "The beer tastes so good and is so cheap. The girls are so lovely, too. Everyone here is just so friendly." Asha Rosschou, Erik Lysdal and Anders Jensen had travelled over together for the game. Asha said: "I can't believe the city has arranged all this for us. We have never experienced a welcome as good as this and we have been to a lot of away games." Anders said: "This is brilliant. We have been to Manchester and London and other places but this is the best by far." Erik said: "It is very nice of the city's mayor to invite us to the party. But I have to say though, this is not his, or Vardy's party, it is our party." Brothers Nicolas and Alexander de Hass were at the fanzone before the game. Alexander said: "I live in London so my brother came over and we came up here. "It is a wonderful feeling to be able to wander about a city like this and not to feel frightened at all to wear our FC Copenhagen shirts." Nicholas said: "I flew over for the match and I am glad I did. "This has to be the best atmosphere I have seen in a city before a game. The people in Leicester are the best." FC Copenhagen fans arriving by train were met by greeters at Leicester station with a friendly "hej!" and helped on their way with a free map and a city centre guide. The supporters were directed to the Clock Tower and then on to Jubilee Square.

Larry_LCFC Posted 26 October 2016 Posted 26 October 2016 But we are supposed to be scary! Be scared of us god dammit!
Wymsey Posted 26 October 2016 Posted 26 October 2016 "I love Leicester. It is the best place I have ever been.'' It's not a bad city, I agree, but think you need to explore the world more mate.

Hopefully they will be nice to us.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 26 October 2016 Posted 26 October 2016 Even before the game, I liked their fans. I had a look on their forum for the pre match thread v us, and they were very knowledgeable.

Manwell Pablo Posted 26 October 2016 Posted 26 October 2016 Best place I have ever been is just lololz. Love to see what stamps that blokes got in his passport.

Yeah he's got a point depends what they were drinking. I personally would pay to see a Dane drink British Carlsberg, slightly gutted this was the game I got into Leicester late for.

Also they were not paying 5 to 7 pounds a pint for it. Ok the lovely girls comment track the fvcker down and find out where they were. I also think most people would have been friendly towards them. Why do people love to put our great city down.

It's a shithole.... but it's our shithole.
Wymsey Posted 26 October 2016 Posted 26 October 2016 Doubt we'd make it as welcoming to Spurs fans if the sides met each other..

Bigger shitholes than Leicester. Some people really don't know what they have. Easy to visit other places and think they are better. Try living in some other towns and cities'

Best place I've ever been though, HHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA
purpleronnie Posted 26 October 2016 Posted 26 October 2016 Got to love 'em. Pee's me off a bit that when they compliment the city but people still have to be negative about it. We don't accept compliments very well do we?
lgfualol Posted 26 October 2016 Posted 26 October 2016 ****ing hell where did he find all those lovely girls. Every time I go into Leicester all I see is obese women with 15 kids and 1 tooth
