Tielemans63 Posted 19 October 2011 Posted 19 October 2011 The police at the Vicente Calderon, Madrid.
Father Ted Posted 19 October 2011 Posted 19 October 2011 so in other words you've never felt intimidated following leicester. Not really im only 17 and only been to about 20 or so away games in total but have heard many stories about those mentioned, in particular a 2-0 cup loss at the Old den?
Walkers Wench Posted 19 October 2011 Posted 19 October 2011 Friday night game by any chance ? 2-1 win, Ormondroyd and Gee ? Kids throwing smarties at our car at a petrol station... At least your lad can say that he`s been to "The Old Den"... Yeah,, and i got lost too!
jonthefox Posted 19 October 2011 Posted 19 October 2011 Vienna in Europe vs red star Check out this video on YouTube: **** you leicester, **** you
Guest Col city fan Posted 19 October 2011 Posted 19 October 2011 The walk from the nearest tube station to the old den was a nightmare journey through sarf fackin landon Pompey could be a bit scary too.. Remember walking back from the ground to Fratton Tube Station on that night it pissed it down ( think we won 2-1?) and the police had to form a wall between our line of fans and little hooligans trying to break through the line to give us a smack. Like rats they were, scurrying about to try to find gaps..
blueharmie Posted 19 October 2011 Posted 19 October 2011 4:25 on that video is quality. hahah that was fookin funny .
m00nie Posted 19 October 2011 Posted 19 October 2011 Stoke City play-off semi final 96. Couldn't find my car afterward but in an effort to show I wasn't from out of town wandered around refusing to look lost, and did so for over an hour haha the night they invaded the pitch.. police horses seperaating them from us and the players still on the pitch. .walk back to the car down the terraced streets and alleys ..
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 19 October 2011 Posted 19 October 2011 The Forest match that ended up being abandoned was a bit hairy for a while, anyone who thinks they don't care about us wasn't there that night. Sheffield United fans tend to take badly to a home defeat as well. Certainly experienced nothing to match up to some of the old stories of The Den and Ayresome Park though. I'd love to have been in Vienna though, what a night that must have been. This. Remember as it was called off loads on both sides started to make their way across to the edge of each stand. We'd ended up in the nearest block to A Block that night and shortly after people started to leave coins and bottles started raining down. When we got out into the street with all the pubs on near the Shitty Ground it kicked off in the middle of the road. Ninian Park was always fairly intimidating, particularly when on my first visit ten minutes before the end they started singing: "Outside, it's a massacre". The New Den's less intimidating and more funny these days, you can easily get in and out of London without being within 30 feet of a Millwall fan these days.
Dan Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Only 18. Forest the night it was abandoned, pretty bad but I wasn't in the thick of it. Both Millwall games in League One there was a bit of aggro. I think the whole feeling at Millwall of knowing they're outside waiting was pretty bad in itself, then again I was only 15. Can see West Ham being pretty edgy like. To be honest I'm no hooligan but these aways you talk about, trouble or not, give me that over a lot of todays aways like Reading, Middlesbrough, Swansea, Coventry etc.... any fvcking day.

This is 2011. Give me the game we have now which encourages a wide demographic as fans instead of the animals running the zoo.
Dan Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Why should what year it is even matter. Give me an atmosphere/rowdiness/passion, more interest in the actual result and getting one over the opposition, no matter who it may be, over clapping goals, no atmosphere and sitting down.

Atmosphere rowdiness and passion are one thing, but lets have it in the right way, positively channeled towards our side. Your first post i quoted made a reference to the game being more enjoyable in the era of rife hooliganism and clearly this would not be a good thing
J.Lisemore Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Baring in mind I'm 19, only incident that springs to mind is the game when we beat Millwall at the New Den 0-1, was on fox travel...didn't think we were gonna get out alive! very tight corners, pubs covered with pissed off Millwall etc.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 haha the night they invaded the pitch.. police horses seperaating them from us and the players still on the pitch. .walk back to the car down the terraced streets and alleys .. Sounds like the match i went to last weekend in the A-league, people lobbing flares and bottles in to us away supporters. 12 people got arrested.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Filbert Street, game against Newcastle i think early 90's where a small group of Geordies sitting in the Leicester double decker end decided to be gob shites, got a kicking inside the ground then from what i understand at least one Newcastle fan was put on the back of an ambulance at which time the Leicester fans got in the back of the ambulance somehow and carried on filling him in - not that i condone any sort of violence at all - but i bet that was fairly scary for the the away fans, i have heard quite a few fans from other clubs say in the old days that the Filbo was quite intimidating in its day
Ross-Kemp Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Yeah Matt, one of my first away games without adult supervision. Bottles and bricks raining down on us at the station, all I remember is a large group of Luton ripped the metal fence apart and annihilated everything that moved. Remember waking up on the train with a lump the size of a fist on the back of my head (where I had been done with a brick) and seeing the looks of sheer amazement that we had made it back alive !
He's not bald Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Yeah ! The Old Den (Cold Blow Lane).... Women and Kids giving throat slashing gestures.... Yes, remember going there in midweek in January sometime in the late 80's in the FA cup, even the walk from the station was scary, like walking a gauntlet with bottles and stones flying at us from all directions, it was as cold as hell and we lost, at the final whistle their supporters invaded the pitch and ran across to us.
wellyfox Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 4 tree's on the cattle market car park. Got back to the car safe. And then the tw4ts took there jackets off. They never got in the car one dived under it for safety. Wise move it got rolled so they could get to him :crylaugh: Some yrs later i worked in nottingham with one of the main men from there squad. Was takin the piss as our game was coming up and he said no way your all fvckin sick'os. I asked why he said that. He said buying a new car was not fvcking funny as his insurance would not pay up :crylaugh: Small world
Simmo86 Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 The called off Forest game. Felt sure I was going to get a kicking on the way back to the car! About 12 middle aged Forest dickheads behind us on the bridge before you get to the away end. Kept kicking our (me and 3 mates) heels, calling us Leicester scum and all that bollocks! I was just waiting for the first punch to hit the back of my head but thankfully it never came
hackneyfox Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Cardiff The Old Den - on 2 occasions Vienna - Drank in a bar where the owner kept pulling the shutters down every time Red Star fans came along. Man City West Ham Highfield Road - on a couple of occasions Wolves - the subway West Brom had to jump on a Leicester coach rather than get the train home. Exeter away where 3 of us had to hide behind bins in a council estate. But without doubt Portsmouth every time I've been, the worst being the play-offs, Arrived early for a beer only to find the pub had been wrecked, went next door to a pub full of Poirtsmouth fans who were jst waiting for Leicester fans, we got away with it. After the game 3 big ****ers started following the2 of us back to the car, my mate can fight but can't run, I'm the opposite, knew we were going to get hammered when suddenly the BS kicked off up the road and they went after them.
RonnieTodger Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 It wasn't intimidating as such, more surreal. This year at the Ricoh Arena, first game of the season. On the way through Tesco area (like Beaumount Leys Shopping Centre style) there was a bunch of around 50 Coventry teenagers who had obviously watched Green Street the night before, marching through throwing cones. Then, just as I said to my mate, you can tell this isn't a proper rivalry as there's no segregation on the way out, bunches of Coventry fans threw traffic cones at Leicester fans trying to come through. No real violence however, just strange how little policing there was.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 No where really has been intimidating for me, though if I had to say one it would be Milwall. Just hate the place and being locked in for an hour after we beat them in league 1 made you think there could be trouble.
Babylon Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Stokes old ground was pretty frightening in the play offs as a kid. They all stormed the pitch and we got attacked when leaving the ground by loads of adults. Stay classy Stoke.
wellyfox Posted 20 October 2011 Posted 20 October 2011 Why should what year it is even matter. Give me an atmosphere/rowdiness/passion, more interest in the actual result and getting one over the opposition, no matter who it may be, over clapping goals, no atmosphere and sitting down. It should not matter what year it is dan. I think the point is back in the 70's and 80's it was rife. How many times do you here now of 200 plus arrest's after a game. Away fans in the kop and not just 1 or 2 am talking 50 to a 100. People trapped in pen 4 cos the ICF were waiting outside. Being showered throughout the game with money batteries even dart's. Even coaches being burnt out. As i seen at a leeds man city game I went to cos ours at Notts county was called off as we got to the ground. The nearest game was leeds so we went up to it. Every bus getting an escourt from oxford to the m1 to stop em going to Banbury and smashing the town up. But you are so right it is such a shame it seems when the violence stopped so did the rest of what made match days so special.
