Enjoyed it so much back then. Pay on the gate, singing half hour before kick off, none of this nonsense with clappers and fireworks and players being applauded for doing a warm up. 
If you watch any of these videos, you’ll see that even though we escaped that season by the skin of our teeth, the ball always went forward and players especially wingers beat their man, it’s the main reason I can’t stay interested these days because it’s sideways and backwards. 

The horrid things about football can be traced back to the injection of cash in the nineties. 

 

The things we resent are just the manifestation of corporate greed. The game isn't the same; who needs a character and the potential for success when we can reduce the entire process to statistics and financial outcome.

Leicester fans in the seventies weren't bickering about "the goat" and picking sides over two players. 

 

They just wanted to see the likes of Frank Wortho play at Filbo. There wasn't some global interest over singular stars. 

 

The game is changed beyond comprehension. The times they are a changing.

In the 60s and 70s, all fans knew who the “star” and the “hard man” was in all the other teams as they all had these players. Paying on the gate was a big plus as you could suddenly decide after 2 that if you fancied going to the match you could do so.Sky has had a big financial impact on the game but has created an elitist few who are only concerned with the international fame and fortune they constantly receive. We stepped up briefly for a wonderful title win, but have been put back in our place. The irony is, the so called “top 6”, rarely finish the season that way.

I remember queuing for the Blackburn play off final game the queues was right back past the old WMC( symphony Hall now ) maybe it was then 

I was in a queue that stretched all the way down to the railway bridge on Aylestone Road when I joined it. Must have been a cup game in the 60s when it wasn't unusual to fill the ground. I think they only had a couple of turnstiles open on Filbert St. They were amateurish back then as well.

The queues for the tranmere final game went from inside the carling stand right down burnmoor street around past the king power and back up past the old filbert street car park...overnight queue

Queueing for a game or queueing for tickets??? I’m not sure??
Good old Filbert Streets days!

 

The prices for the Family Enclosure tell us it's 1992/93 - and the fence blocking access behind the Main Stand tell us that work to demolish it is already underway. So it's almost certainly the queue for Play-Off Final tickets v Swindon, when the queue stretched round three sides of the ground.

Throwback to Filbert Street – the smell of chips, the roar from the SK1.
I’m blanking on which side this photo was taken.
Can you pinpoint it and drop your favourite memory of match-days on this street?
Share this if you miss Filbo!!!

Walking across the Upton Park pitch before the match, from the South terrace to the East stand terrace/chicken run, has got to be one of the weirdest away day memories.

Brilliant atmosphere with 10,000 of us there ... until the last 5 minutes of the 1st half, when it all went pear-shaped ......................

With the state of the club perhaps we should return to be called Knuts

The date of that article is October 20th 1925 - exactly 100 years ago. 

 

The Knuts never really caught on as a nickname, despite the Mercury pushing it so hard (or perhaps because of that).

Any Knowledge on what filled the gaps before Foxes because I don't remember it being used in the 60s?

A more apt nickname for the club/team currently would be The Kvnts.

This might interest a few.

The man named by The New York Times in 2022 as “arguably the world’s greatest living soccer photographer” happens to be from Leicester. And you can see a new exhibition of some of Peter Robinson's best images at @dmuleicester.

Keep Off the Grass is open to the public free of charge from now until 10 January 2026 and features more than 200 images – some on display for the first time.
