My greatest memory of Filbert Street has to be the very last game there, not the Spurs match but a match between Legends etc. My step dad was one of the officials that night, I can remember Auld Lang Syne been played at the end with all the legends joining hands and then suddenly the lights went off.

Goosepimples.

remember that i was only 6/7 at the time. very emotional day. :cry:

Aw, I loved Filbert Street so much. :wub: That last game, when the lights went out, I just dissolved. :cry: I was exceedingly pissed before I eventually stopped crying. :(

Mind you, the women's loos were pure hilarity! You didn't go unless you really needed to! :laugh:

I didn't go the VERY last game at Filbo between the legends but I did go the Spurs game.

I remember I went with my football club. But the weird thing was, I was the only person that was sad that it was the last game there. Nobody else seemed to care but I did even though I was only 9 or 10. I remember getting a tiny bit bored towards the end of the speeches that went on for a very long time :crylaugh:

i seem to remember there was a tribute to filbert street video on the official website (similar to the muzy izzet one). It had bittersweet symphony as the backing track. Anyone got it? Or know where to find it? I think it was pretty ace, apart from it ended with a shot of the walkers with the caption "the future"...

Are you sure you really are a city fan ? I swear you're a cov fan on a wind up. You never seen Filbert St before and yet you call yourself a Leicester fan ...

Pretty much

I only started supporting 'em in the 03/04 season because I got a ST as a present :cool:

Wish I'd saved myself the misery now! lol

Filbo was brilliant.

I wish we could have just redeveloped it slightly rather than move to the Walkers :( we've lost so much soul and atmosphere.

Here's the 30,000 seater Filbo that never was, with the pitch rotated so it ran from a new single-tier West Stand to the East stand, with the Double Decker and Carling Stand replacing the North Stand on the wings.

Bloody hell their is no pleasing some people, okay Filbert Street as great and has a lot of memories for everyone including myself. But their is a time to move on, imagine being a top quality player and being shown the Walkers and Filbert Street, which one would they choose? Walkers is shit, do something about it! We will benefit in the long run.

Bring them down the tunnel backwards like Martin O'Neill did so they see the Carling Stand first :worship:

And also bear in mind - Imagine a top quality player coming to Leicester at the moment :S:giggle:
