There were a lot of young squad wannabe's outside Citroen chavved up to feck. We started the trouble last night I'm afraid.
Spudulike Posted 15 March 2017 Posted 15 March 2017 From McNulty... "....the King Power Stadium is back to the imposing arena it was last term. Tuesday's win was driven by passion, noise and raw emotion. When the board went up to signal four minutes of stoppage time, a huge roar rippled around the stadium - a roar of inspiration, not fear. Those closing stages were pure theatre as the clock ticked down in an electric atmosphere. All the ingredients that made Leicester such a success story last year were back. There was still plenty of criticism of the club's players on social media on Tuesday from those who believed they downed tools under Ranieri only to pick them up once he was gone, but no-one seemed to care inside a thunderous King Power Stadium." "However, they will not shy away from any challenge, especially not at home and especially not if this arena is the stage for the second leg. There was a real air of intimidation, noise and theatre in the stadium against Sevilla and Leicester's fans are starting to dream again after the dark months between August and February. Under Shakespeare, they are playing in a manner designed to unsettle any side who takes the measured approach - and they will do it backed by a 90-minute wall of sound." What. A. Night

blue army 1988 Posted 15 March 2017 Posted 15 March 2017 A few "fans" before the game wont and can't ruin what happened in that stadium last night. So proud.
Corky Posted 15 March 2017 Posted 15 March 2017 You can go on about all the gimmicks- the flags, the clappers, the TIFOs or whatever- last night was pure emotion coming from fans. People standing up in injury time to drive the team on, the noise after the goals, the encouragement throughout and getting behind the team completely. Our fans, when we are the underdogs or outsiders, are superb to a man and woman. When we know the players have to give everything to get something, we do as well. Just a brilliant night.
MattyFromLE Posted 15 March 2017 Posted 15 March 2017 Just wow. There was something bitter-sweet about getting promotion, winning the Championship, confirming survival and winning the Premier League either away from home, or on a night we weren't playing. That said, I wouldn't have it any other way. So for me, last night's emotion was an amalgamation of all of those things put together. I have never screamed so loud when we've scored before, to the point where I almost passed out. People from the row behind were on our row, strangers throwing themselves at each other. The last 10 minutes were incredible, when everyone stood up and sang "Everywhere we go..." - reminded me of the last 5 minutes against Man Utd at Filbert Street when we were relegated. So many moments of raw emotion. The two goals, the sending off, Kaspers penalty save and the final whistle. Wow. I ****ing love this football club. I'm so thankful that my dad took me all those years ago because if this is what I would have missed then, phwar. Listening to Radio Leicester when I got in was hard, I'm not Stringers biggest fan but hearing him tearing up on commentary, and then when he mentioned his dad nearly had me going.
Guest Danny Clender Posted 15 March 2017 Posted 15 March 2017 It looked immense, credit where its due and all that.
HybridFox Posted 15 March 2017 Posted 15 March 2017 I enjoyed the pre-match Kasabian as well. Was a throwback to old days. And then it went straight into the champions league anthem of new. Goosebumps

Cambridge play off semi final. Middlesbrough at Hillsborough. Walsh scoring at Wembley against derby. Claridge against palace. Man United 5-3. Winning the premier league there have been many more. But none of them was as loud for as long as tonight. It was electric tonight I kicked every ball tonight and shouted louder then I have done for years. I left the stadium and pub absoloutly shattered and have no energy left. But would do it all again tomorrow. Tonight more then ever I am proud to be a leicester fan. Proud of the fans proud of the team and proud of the best owners in English football. WOW Shrewsbury FA Cup match in '82? It was my Mum's first game.

The Seville guys showed a lot of respect, applauded our players and fans at the end, great stuff, sung throughout as well even when the second went in. Pretty much all of the European opposition who have come to the KP have impressed me.
lcfc278 Posted 15 March 2017 Posted 15 March 2017 Hands down the best atmosphere I've witnessed at the KP. Smashed the first CL home game which I thought couldn't be topped. Everyone was just buzzing and up for it all game which was amazing. I will admit i welled up a few times because I was so proud. The dream continueth!

It was truly an intimidating atmosphere and it showed in the number of unforced errors that Sevilla made. Despite their obvious class they never looked confident. I thought the exact same. For all our place is noisy, I don't think it ever really comes across as that intimidating. Yesterday I felt genuine hostility from the crowd. I'd lost my voice through booing in the first half alone. Ever seen when the likes of Galatasaray play they literally won't shut up doing it.

I think a big thank you to the ref who went out of his way to encourage the crowd to rail.
