The previous year's programme home to Stoke City (1967-68) had an interesting lead article ...

 

At least 3 things stand out:

 - Football hooliganism goes back long before the 1980's.

 - Leicester/Forest "rivalry" also goes back a long way.

 - There are some dodgy birds from Nottingham!

Hooliganism at football matches in the UK can be dated back to the 1800's.

Young football fans outside Filbert Street before a match — no replica shirts, no merch stands… just scarves, excitement, and pure passion.
Leicester City in its most authentic form. 💙⚽

Interesting how they put "(S)" and "(D)", instead of "(C)" and "(R)" .      I can only assume it stands for championS and relegateD ?
