Stadt Posted 11 September 2014 Posted 11 September 2014 Probably been posted but I love this picture.
placidcasual Posted 11 September 2014 Posted 11 September 2014 Mills missing a pen by the looks of it. Isn't this the Charlton away game in Little's second season? Had a chance to go up automatically - Took over 10k (I think) to Upton Park.

placidcasual Posted 11 September 2014 Posted 11 September 2014 1st season of Little I think. Yep - I wrote 1st season and then second guessed myself and put second. Getting old.
Austin Posted 11 September 2014 Posted 11 September 2014 Some cracking photos in this thread! Keep 'em coming!
Oxfordfox83 Posted 11 September 2014 Posted 11 September 2014 Great thread this. Leicester City's 47,298 record crowd, FA Cup 5th round v Tottenham, 1928. Love that some old boy's climbed onto the roof wearing a top hat. LAD!
sylofox Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 This is great. The orient pic's 90% of the crowd was us. The pic with the fans on the pitch and a guy in his under pants. That was Jon ONiell after he had been stripped buy us lol serve him right for being so slow lol The Chelsea pics could have been from any of our games over about 15 years.
Freesolo Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 Gutted i never got a chance to watch a game at Filbert Street when it was standing in the Kop, would love if they brought in the safe standing from Europe over to the Prem
sylofox Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 It was fun but dangerous too. In fact going back to Chelsea and the Ken Bates take over for a £1 is the only time in my life I have been glad we had health n safety. Just after he took over he come up with some crack pot idea to electrify the fences lol They should have issued head gear for some games to. 2p 10p (the big oid ones) batteries and the odd dart.
Freesolo Posted 12 September 2014 Posted 12 September 2014 Headgear I remember the Kop at Filbert Street when it was seating and there way a net between the east stand and every now and then (usually against Forrest or Derby) the Tannoy would come on saying please stop throwing coins at the away fans, but darts!! thats insane sounds more dangerous than fun. Still i doubt you can beat the atmosphere at a standing game

Still i doubt you can beat the atmosphere at a standing game Away fans used to be in pen 1 no net just steel mesh about 5inch by 10 inch on a chelsea match you could here tings from coins hitting all match long. Before that went up one game against villa they bought the tops and bottoms from bean cans. Chelsea would send groups into pen 2 to kick off. WHU came out early at the end of one game and tried to storm pens 2,3,4. Hard for some to believe that have never seen it. Some on here have put wish I had seen it. Really was not funny and not somewhere you want to be. Just wish the 20k plus we get now could make the noise n support like 12k did.

I remember a west ham game where I thought it was going to kick off afterwards and that it might be best to leave around 85 mins. As I left pen 2 there were WHU fans had climbed into the steel girders above the exit and obviously all had to walk under them to get out. clearly, I was right! Aggro was never far away in those days but the atmosphere in the moving mass of bodies back and forth was great. And how many times did you get burned by someone's fag! Great days.
OzFox Posted 13 September 2014 Posted 13 September 2014 Nothing got past him ...except maybe this bloke
Karljohn Posted 6 October 2014 Posted 6 October 2014 Ipswich away 1991. The hari krishna away day! Think you can just about see one in shot. Lost 3-2 I think and had to beat Oxford the week after to stay up.
Eastwellfox Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 Proud to say that i was at most of the games featured. Loads of memories. The Fulham 1983 promotion winning season 1-0 win we spent most of the game under the cosh. Ian Wilsons scored the winner.
pleatout Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 The hari krishna away day! Think you can just about see one in shot. Lost 3-2 I think and had to beat Oxford the week after to stay up. The finest away day fancy dress ever. I seem to remember inspired by the "bald" wigs bought fro Rooster Russell. Fantastic as they invaded the roof above the boxes and the stewards didn't what to do as a "riot" of tambourine playing broke out. Proud to say that i was at most of the games featured. Loads of memories. The Fulham 1983 promotion winning season 1-0 win we spent most of the game under the cosh. Ian Wilsons scored the winner. Fulham '83. I remember exactly where I was as the ball hit the back of the net - having a wee! Bugger.
Aus Fox Posted 11 October 2014 Posted 11 October 2014 Ipswich away 1991. Who knew Ron Weasley was a Leicester fan
sylofox Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 Sat down on Granby street after that to stop the bus going. As fast as the cops were moving people others sat down lol
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 28 October 2014 Posted 28 October 2014 That was my first away match.I t was when we'd won the 2nd division title under Jock Wallace. The cops that day were animals. I suppose it was them who smashed the goal posts up?

purpleronnie Posted 1 November 2014 Author Posted 1 November 2014 I thought this was a rather poignant photograph given todays occasion. West Ham v Leicester on 2 Sep 1939. WW2 was declared the next day. We won the game...and the war.
