irishfox Posted 20 August 2012 Share Posted 20 August 2012 Hello fellow foxes, LCFC fan since 1997/98 season totally out of the blue i come from a Man united family but at 8years old i was attracted to Leicester mostly because of the legends Martin O'Neill and big Stevie walsh. Never been to Filbert street which kills me to this day but been to our new home 6times, I had to wait till I was old enough to go myself because no one would bring me as a kid(as I said my family are MUFC)..I'v never bought my Republic of Ireland flag with me but want to bring it this time when I come over for game vs Blackpool..Would i be victim of abuse and should I just leave it at home???..LTID!!

Man, I feel sorry for you. Supporting Leicester is a painful enough experience that gets inflicted on most of us but to choose to support us, and being from overseas, why would you do that to yourself?! You are a braver person than I! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbmb10 Posted 21 August 2012 Share Posted 21 August 2012 I've seen a person at the front of the kop always wearing an Irish flag around him, don't know if he's still there but don't see why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 21 August 2012 Share Posted 21 August 2012 I think it's great that we have fans who aren't from Leicester, especially from a MUFFC supporting family! Can't imagine you'd get any abuse (bar the odd joke), and if you stitch the fox emblem or "IRISH FOX" onto the flag, you might even appear in the OS picture special.

flowwolf Posted 21 August 2012 Share Posted 21 August 2012 Greats suggestion to have the fox emblem in the middle of the Tri colour but not the Tri colour on it's own as we don't want to go down the sectarian path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 1 September 2012 Share Posted 1 September 2012 Hi irishfox im also from Ireland and support the mighty foxes were in Ireland you living? His byline info states "Castleisland, Co. Kerry"...which I passed through on my way to Abbeyfeale and Brosna about a month ago. My grandfather came from Brosna, earlier generations from Castleisland apparently, so have a Guinness on me (just imagine that I paid for it!). Managed to put away a few in O'Rourke's Bar and Matt McCoys with some cousins while I was over there. Let's hope there are some celebrations this evening, and not an artificial and premature crisis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyPV Posted 1 September 2012 Share Posted 1 September 2012 Bring it and wave it with pride. Make sure you have "800 years of oppression" sown into it. Sure fire crowd pleaser. Haven't been down to the Kingdom in years. Used to go to Castlegregory every summer for about 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 2 September 2012 Share Posted 2 September 2012 About time we had a thread for the City fans of Irish descent! I was born and raised in Leicester but my Dad is from Ireland (moved over here in 1975) and we used to visit my family in Killarney EVERY single summer although I did love it there. My brother now lives in Dublin so go over at least 2 or 3 a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
