BartonFox Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 I was stood next to a mate outside the Tigers ground when he was slashed across the cheek with a stanley by an Everton fan, If the knife was in the other hand I would probably have got it! Holy f'ck when was that? Scoucers were renowned for being indiscriminate blade merchants, did the b'std get lifted?
BartonFox Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 Well the worst was Portsmouth away leg of the play-off. Strangest wasn't a Leicester game, but against the Baby Squad at the Scotland v. England play-off in '99 at Hampden. A group of us were walking to a pub trying to escape the Stone Island clad muppets from England who were terrorizing families and shoppers when we were confronted by the BS just off George Sqaure. They came for us and despite my shouts of "I am from Leicester" a scuffle erupted as we tried to hot foot it away. In the end a certain face who drinks in South Leicester in similar pubs as me on the weekend clocked me, put 2 and 2 together and called off the charge. Two weeks later he bought me a drink in Coventry to apologise So getting beat by an average England side and nearly getting a hiding off fellow City fans was not an ideal Saturday.

Early 80's We were no angels mind but there's no need for any of that! Don't know what happened to him cause we were running in the direction of Casualty luckily only a few hundred yards away. Funny thing was that they were playing Coventry and it was called off so they decided to wait for the Leicester fans when they left the ground.

Hampden in 89 was a right scream hundreds of Scotlands fans throwing bricks over the fence at the England fans. Trouble was I could only get tickets for the England end, not a good idea when your a Scotland fan!
Guest Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 The blokes on this forum will wonder the fuss is about, but I can remember sitting on the coach back from Huddersfield thinking "what is that smell, it's making me feel sick?". I think we were just going past junction 24 when I ran my fingers through my lovely long locks to find it cotted up. The culprit? A half-chewed congealed lump of meat and potato pie. Waking the house up at 1am to wash the fecker out didn't go down too well either!

Was it your fault that the Wolves and Leeds fans kicked off with each other at halftime that afternoon?
Head Honcho Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 Was it your fault that the Wolves and Leeds fans kicked off with each other at halftime that afternoon? The whole of Glasgow was mayhem that weekend. 20 mobs from different clubs all supporting England but fighting each other every chance they get.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 30 August 2006 Author Posted 30 August 2006 I forgot to add; being caught up in the middle of the aggro at the Worthington Cup Final in 1999, that Sperz thug who hit the female Leicester fan was only a few rows away from me. Didn't really affect me personally but it was horrible having to watch stuff like that happening and not being able to do much about it.

Had the stewards got them out when the City fans asked, none of it would have happened.

That was in front of me as well and the Arsenal mate I was there with said there would be bother, he recognised the Spurs fans.
john_lcfc Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 we were near there two, werent it players tickets if my memory serves me well?
Swedging Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 I was stood next to a mate outside the Tigers ground when he was slashed across the cheek with a stanley by an Everton fan, If the knife was in the other hand I would probably have got it! I was lucky. The whole trip to Everton was mayhem. At the station you were just told to get a bus to and from the ground. After the match, there was no segregation, and you just had to get on the bus back. Everyone seemed to get separated - or maybe we were just dim. Anyway, there were 4 of us together in the queue when the bus was pulling in and we just seemd to have been identified, given a few smacks before they went in search of better prey. The train back was a mess of walking wounded. 1977, I think.
BartonFox Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 Oh, oooh, I have thought of another one, although I find this more funny than anything else. Martin O'Neill's last season and we get beat 2-0 at home by Man Utd. About 8 minutes to go it kicks off big time at the back of 'SK 2', two sets of Leicester each thinking the other was Man Utd. Some Dad with his 2 kids asked me to look after them so he could go and "tvvat the Manc scum" <_< Utter mayhem, couldn't get out for ages and when we finally dodged the batons we got outside and the place was buzzing. It went off on Aylestone Road, all the way up to the station and round Granby Street for what seemed like time. Didn't matter where we went there was trouble
Floating Fox Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 Wish I had been around to See some of these days
Daggers Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 Filbert Street never won an award for its toilets.
Swedging Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 Wish I had been around to See some of these days It depends. It's mostly old war stories. It added a certain excitement going to games, it's true. But there was so much indiscriminate mayhem and havoc that looking back, I feel more embarassed than anything.
Thracian Posted 30 August 2006 Posted 30 August 2006 Sitting next to Bill Anderson wearing what looked like a Hearts hat in the Reading Press box last season. And an altercation concerning his colleague Andy Mann on another occasion.
Knighton Matt Posted 31 August 2006 Posted 31 August 2006 Not strictly all at the football but certainly football related. It was my 21st birthday...should be a happy day right?! WRONG! It was the day we lost 5-0 at home to Villa. Never seen such a nasty atmosphere at the Walkers - the performance was awful, everyone was throwing their complimentary Nuts magazines at each other or on the pitch and then that bloke ran on the pitch only to be decked by Ian Walker. You could just tell something was going to kick off that day. Anyway later in town had hired a bar for me and my mates to have a party starting at 7.30. Anyway got there at about 7.20 to find it full of burberry clad lads. My mate who used to work at Russells confirmed that he recognised most of them as Babysquad. Oh sh it I though imagining some of my girl mates turning up pretty scantily clad in the next 10 minutes might just grab their attention somewhat (don't get me wrong I don't mind telling a bloke to fu ck off if they're hassling one of my girl mates but me and my mate against 100 of the babysquad?!) Anyway I hastily got myself outside and started ringing my mates suggesting an alternative meeting place to wait for these lads to go...when I hear the "no surrender to the IRA" chants start to pipe up. The next couple of mins was pure comedy as I saw my mate dash out the bar to join me on the street just as it all kicked off and 3 riot vans pull up right in front of my face. Needless to say the bar was trashed (they were actually snorting coke off the bar!!) And that my friends is why burberry caps were banned from many drinking establishments soon after around Leicester (the first city to do it nationally). Because it all kicked off before my 21st birthday party!
isaidno Posted 31 August 2006 Posted 31 August 2006 My grandad used to work as a St Johns man at Filbert Street and he had a box of weetabix thrown at him. How weird !

Jamesino_LCFC Posted 31 August 2006 Posted 31 August 2006 One of my more earlier games as a child in the small stand opposite the Spion Kop at Filbert Street, some of us got up as it was looking promising for a goal and I felt a cold, evil pinch on my skin around my waist where some guy pulled me down because he couldnt see what was going on. It hurt and I was only about 10!
