Petchy Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 Absolutely amazing day, and amazing support. Black blow up wasn't mine, but I had it forced onto my shoulders by people behind me! Got to love away days, especially against so called 'big teams' who's fans only song once all game! We easily put them to shame.
Finnegan Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 YOU'RE JUST A SHIT LLOYD DYER. Was a good atmosphere, the second goal threatened to kill it and we dropped off for a little bit but a proper resurgence in the second half. Good showing, really. Their support was frightfully bad, I think they literally stood up to sing once and you couldn't hear them over us anyway.
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 I think that from the 51st minute onwards, our support really kicked into life. Did us proud today. After our first goal, my mate text me saying 'You look like a mug on TV' . I travelled to and from the game with a Chelsea fan today constantly singing woaaaahhh. Before the game he was like f**k off that's so annoying. After the game, he couldn't stop singing it! Proud to be a Leicester fan.
Star Captain Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 We definately do seem to struggle more with bigger numbers, probably because it's much harder to be organised and sing as one. Saw that frequently today, especially in the first half. Doesn't take away from the fact that we we're ****ing amazing in the second though! Loved the 'banter' with Terry too, and did anyone see the blow up sex doll?
maynefox Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 Sideshow Bob chant was hilarious! I thought the atmosphere was better at Norwich, however im sure if we took the lead or equalized we would been a lot more wild and louder. My dad said as i walked in that the support was really loud on the radio! Good day out, bit disappointed about our defence, all at sea the first half!
JimmyB Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 It was all fun until the little hitler steward went up and popped it. He's taking it home, he's taking it homeeeee...
21st Century Fox Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 You could just about make out some chants from the Matthew Harding Stand from were I was and "We're going to Wembley" was about as witty as it got. Also who had the giant inflatable football that got thrown just short of the pitch, which then took ages to slowing roll past a line of stewarss hahaha. Can't believe the burst the blow up doll, even tbe Chelsea lot were pointing and laughing at that. Still want to find out who the two guys (I guess father & son) were up in row 17 Upper East who stood and cheered our goals. That took some balls, I tip my cap.
Guest Col city fan Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 I really do have to say i take my hat off to the away support we have had this season. The money spent, the time taken, and the commitment has been truly quite amazing given some of the rubbish that has been served up this season. Even today, Pearson himself stated that we gifted the opposition goals. Just imagine what would happen if we started to have some real success. The City would implode! God bless you all...
Saxondale Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 My misses had Sister Act on and I was staggered when the closing number came on. And the original: I wasn't aware where the original tune came from until now.
HEGGSY Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 Just got back. We were absolutely awesome today, support wise, loved every minute of it despite the result. Despite the obvious gulf in class between the sides, we never stopped singing, I'm so proud to be a Leicester fan, I always have been. The boys on the pitch did us proud regardless of the result. BLUEEEEEEEE ARMMMMMMYYYYYY! HE'S STILL FVCKING SHIT HE'S STILL FVCKING SHIT FERNANDO TORRES HE'S STILL FVCKING SHIT.
worksopfox Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 Fantastic support today! A view from a City Season Ticket holder who couldn't get an away ticket!! So from the East Stand!!!
Saxondale Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 Sideshow Bob is f*****g shit! He is shit. When he came on, I said to my mate that our chances would improve. Lo and behold, that's when we got our two goals!
Kitchandro Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 Second half we were stunned in to silence by the two early goals, but second half was great. Yeh that's how I saw it. Disappointment 1st half but like the team we threw caution to the wind in the second and it was good fun. Skimmed through the ESPN coverage and apart from the goals the thing that caught my eye was the shots of us waving our scalves. It looked great from the normal camera angle when the whole end was doing it. And yeh, Chelsea fans were very poor. Considering their fanbase is quite a bit bigger than ours I'd say their singing section is about the same size as ours is at home, maybe smaller.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 You all looked amazing from where I was sat down the opposite end - especially when all the scarves came out. Got a few videos but not as good as I was hoping because for all their self-proclaimed genius apple haven't figured out how to add a zoom feature to the camcorder function on iphones. I'll have a look through and get the best ones up in next couple of days. Almost got thrown out when Marshall scored his screamer I just couldn't help jumping up and down a bit and they'd already had words. Fair play to the Chelsea old boy sat in front of me who basically took on the steward on my behalf saying 'he's done no harm' etc Although he did seem to have a bit of an ongoing feud with them pretty much throughout the entire 90minutes.
Kitchandro Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 I can see why they call it the shed end, I felt like I was sitting in a wheelbarrow and watching the match through a tiny window.
Finnegan Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 You'll whinge about anything really won't you? I hate Chelsea but Stamford Bridge is a cracking ground, much better than ours in almost every way.
Kitchandro Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 You'll whinge about anything really won't you? I hate Chelsea but Stamford Bridge is a cracking ground, much better than ours in almost every way. Except for the fact I could barely see the pitch Hard to judge a stadium when you can't see most of it When I pay £30 I expect much better than that.
Matt Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 You'll whinge about anything really won't you? I hate Chelsea but Stamford Bridge is a cracking ground, much better than ours in almost every way. We finally agree on something, I hate Chelsea and their 'fans' but Stamford Bridge is one of my favourite grounds. It's got sense of modern and old about it, love it.
StanSP Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 I was impressed by Stamford Bridge. Wasn't expecting it to be that good.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 18 March 2012 Posted 18 March 2012 I barely had to queue for my half-time pint and they had fake subways as well. Most satisfactory. I did notice that they put their disabled supporters in the upper tier which seemed somewhat counter-intuitive but other than that there's no doubt the bridge shits on the kp
