yorkie1999 Posted 20 May 2012 Share Posted 20 May 2012 I thought it was because the road signs on the m1 say "the north and Leicester" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Numan Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 I've been chatting with the Chelsea fans on Orange and they say it's because of the motorway sign. Who really knows the truth now anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_LCFC Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 I always thought it was because of the fighting between the fans years ago. Chances are if you ask a youngish Chelsea fan they would have no idea about this anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Numan Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 A Villa fan reckons it goes back to the fights. I'll have to wait and see if any older Chelsea fans come on the board. There's probably some substance to it as we had the Chelsea ran away song. I can remember singing it in the 80s but had no idea where it came from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jace Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 Maybe its from when they screwed us out of winning the FA Cup and the double in 1997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_LCFC Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 Maybe its from when they screwed us out of winning the FA Cup and the double in 1997 I'm pretty sure its been sung since at least the 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggers Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 Buy the book called 'top boys' by cass pennant. There's an account of that day in there Or, on the other hand, don't. Just grow up, forget any infantile fascinations with fighting and do not give money to an arsehole so that he can benefit from having been a prize cockend.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. Within the Borough of Chelsea & Kensington used to reside the head-quarters of the SPG, a division of the police. This special squad had a number of matchday roles, the primary one was to go to away matches three days before a game and remove as much spelling, punctuation and grammar as they could in order to render it impossible for hooligans to communicate with each other in a coherent fashion. Although the squad has now been disbanded, due to European human rights legislation, many individuals across the country have been left unable to perform even simple communication tasks such as capitalising the first letter following a full stop or a proper noun. Should you know anybody directly effected by this urge them to contact the Home Office in order to obtain compensation and a free bag of apostrophes.

Guest Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 I'm sure it's meant as an insult. But hink of all the team's and all the crappy places that could've been chosen. We were chosen because we mean something to them and it should sicken them to know they rate lower than Cov on our hate list.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_LCFC Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 Just seen on a Chelsea site about song lyrics. They also sing a version of if I had the wings of an eagle called wings of a sparrow.. With it finishing I would fly over Leicester city and shit on the bastards below below. So it obviously goes down to rivalry due to trouble from years ago.Hence why we sing Chelsea ran away.

old koppite Posted 21 May 2012 Share Posted 21 May 2012 As an old fart who was a teenager in the 70s, it is definitely a reference to the hooligans -- anyone posting on here who was not at the games in the 70s/80s and suggest it was for some other reason just do not have a clue. Watching the game on Sat night made me smile to see the banner , for a second I thought it might be a Leicester branch of chelsea fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree it's the most likely one as the rivalry/ respect was intense and late 70's early 80's is when it seemed to come to the fore. Could be that the trouble just made it more relevant though and it's origins are prior to this. The biggest problem we cleary have is that the experts on this matter, the Chelsea fans, can't agree where it came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
