Lineker's Left Foot Posted 3 May 2006 Share Posted 3 May 2006 My girlfriend is a huge Chelsea fan and when they visit Stamford Bridge, the Chelski fans sing ... "We all follow the Chelsea, Over land and sea... AND LEICESTER" !! Heard it during the Blackburn game last night?? Why do they sing about us ??? I still HATE EM even before Abramovich came in cos of THAT penalty in 1996 FA Cup Quarter-Final that SHOULDN'T have been given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathside Posted 5 May 2006 Share Posted 5 May 2006 Story I heard (many years back) was that because Leicester have no immediate local rivals - some clubs felt sorry for us and started tagging And Leicester onto some of their hate songs - In the style of We hate Bradford City, we hate Bradford too, and Leicester Mostly it was clubs from lower leagues True or not? - I have no idea PS I am currently a closet Bradford fan due to their crucial role in deciding the outcome of the League 1 play-offs contenders tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Harpic Posted 5 May 2006 Share Posted 5 May 2006 Apparently, Chelsea fans added the 'And Leicester' bit on during a 7-0 to Forest at the City Ground in 1991. Dunno why, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_lcfc Posted 6 May 2006 Share Posted 6 May 2006 sky is a must have.. we have now had 3 reasons for them singing about us. 1) they felt sorry for us 2) sign on the m1 "the north and leicester" 3) trouble between the 2 sets of fans in the 80s ie leicester taking the shed them taking the kop or something. which is the truth?

Teeno Posted 7 May 2006 Share Posted 7 May 2006 something to do with riots during the 70's/ 80's between the 2 clubs around London and it apparently brought the 2 sets of fans together. sure i heard this, could be a dream though. That's pretty much it. One boxing day 'the Leicester Mob' to kethe Shed at Stamford bridge, apparently there weren't many Leicester but because of their success the Chelsea mob had a lot of respect for us and that's why we're included in some of their songs. Same story as why we sing Hark now here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
