foss1884 Posted 28 April 2007 Share Posted 28 April 2007 I felt truly honoured and privileged to be part of the Leicester hordes who travelled in their thousands today! It was simply spectacular! The scenes before, during and after the game were magical with the Blue Army invading South Yorkshire. The noise during the game was tremendous and in the second half was the loudest and most vociferous support i have heard of any supporters-it was breathtaking. Every man, woman and child in the stand sang their hearts out proudly and ensured that we left the god-foresaken hell hole of Barnsley with a victory. What made the day so special was that the Barnsley fans invaded the pitch at the end to show us their appreciation for the noise we created-they had no chance of matching us in the noise stakes! This experience will live with me for a long time-the GREATEST ATMOSPHERE of a Leicester travelling contingent. Fantastic! :scarf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommeh Posted 28 April 2007 Share Posted 28 April 2007 great day out and and tremendous atmosphere, particularly 2nd hlaf with the players attacking our end and after the goal went in. I keep forgetting that we won due to Barnaley's celebrations at the end. Oh and I met Thracian and DavieG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez of Mahrez Posted 28 April 2007 Share Posted 28 April 2007 I thought it was disappointing as a whole. Can only be honest. The usual suspects at the back were incredible as always though. I'm not usually one for this but I think SUAS, LD3, Ched, JME, Potter, Mikey, Joe etc can take a small amount of the credit for our last two victories, they just don't let up all game. Truly magnificent effort again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The banging on the metal at back drowned out alot of chants which could not be heard across the stand. What game did supporters go to today? I cannot believe some fans. It was incredible and if you think that was not the case. more fool you. I thought it was great! If you think it was rubbish, then we are seriously in trouble as that is the best we have ever conjured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 28 April 2007 Share Posted 28 April 2007 Cheers Fez. I agree the atmosphere was not great. The banging on the metal at back drowned out alot of chants which could not be heard across the stand. I was dead centre, row CC, no-one standing or singing there. I know the Fox Travel grannies have a right to be there and sit down and not sing and all that bollocks but it's so frustrating. That's the last time I stick to the seat on the ticket. Useless.

I am sorry then we have a problem, because some fans need their hearing testing. Thank god Wortho heard us, Milan heard us and the Enterprise Stand opposite heard us with the pitch invasion and their fans gesturing as we sang! I was thoroughly impressed. Some chants and songs today were so loud my ears tingled. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was supposed to be row F. I saw JME at about 2.25 and he dragged me up to the top with him. Quality atmosphere up there. I still don't know any of that lot properly, but if you are wondering who i am, I was the one in the camo Yankees cap standing on the steps at the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foss1884 Posted 28 April 2007 Author Share Posted 28 April 2007 Whereabouts were you?Wasn't a patch on Fulham today. Half way up in Block 1.

I think it easily ranks up there! I remember Coventry away last year and know how 5,000 fans can sound very quiet. This was entirely different!

You saw me Thanks anyway I thought it was another quality atmosphere, shame people insisted on banging the back so much (Andy ) I'm just listening back to my now weekly lengthy video's and the Alan Ball chant was fantastic and a wonderful tribute, well done whoever started it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would have done but me dad came along. Feel a bit guilty leaving him and he won't move for anything. I don't mean to put a downer on the atmosphere. I can imagine it sounded brilliant from the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foss1884 I'm with you on this we dominated the support for the whole day! before & after the match. I was @ the top with the England flag stood next 2 JME, don't know the faces to go with the foxestalk names! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vardinhio Posted 28 April 2007 Share Posted 28 April 2007 I basically got threatened by some guy who wanted me to go out the ground with him to "sort it out" for me standing up. This was right at the begining, we moved up to the top and stood for the whole game. I appreciate people may want to sit but there's no need to get aggresive.

foss1884 Posted 28 April 2007 Author Share Posted 28 April 2007 For all the groans the Barnsley fans made, i certainly did not hear them sing once! We certainly outsung them-FACT!!! I am glad Wortho and the players appreciated the support as reported on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
