I cried today...

[ballisimo]

I'd just like a rough idea of how many people cried today when the QPR match hit full time…

Be it, full on crying or just shedding a few tears!

I let it go in the office at work and my colleagues were laughing at me. I wasn't bothered one bit

Whose with me?

I cried while in a fit of laughter, probably one of the most confusing things that has ever happened to me!

I didn't cry, but I had a tear in my eye as I ran across the room to hug my six month old son. Special.

I didn't cry, but I had a tear in my eye as I ran across the room to hug my six month old son. Special. 

There's a moment that'll stick with you for a lifetime.

My Dad was a massive Tigers fan but knew how much my brother and I loved City so supported us through good times and bad. On a day like today he would have been listening to the Tigers game on the radio texting me score updates as I did to him about how City were getting on.

Except he passed away aged 72 last December.

Today I watched a silent Final Score in a bookies as the results came in. I kept going for my phone but I cant talk to my Dad anymore. As soon as the QPR result was confirmed I felt the tears welling up and left. I got back to my car, turned on the radio and listened to Ian Stringer talking to fans and cried eyes out.

I am a 46yr old father of 3 who is not ashamed to admit to crying at a combination of whats happened over the last few months. The first game we played after he passed was QPR away, a game that really kick started belief that this could be our year. The fact that City have been doing so well has helped me cope with his loss.

Thought about my uncle who died about a month ago, massive City fan and used to take me in the 80s to games. He will be smiling tonight

I had a lump in my throat and a touch of early season hayfever

[Jakemoore]

Wow, some of these stories are really touching. Football has a massive impact on people, it's not just a game. Funny how sport can do that!

[Pegosteve]

47 years a Fox seen lived through all the ups and downs, don't have an emotional story to tell. Have only seen the City live twice in 15 years but I did have tears in my eyes for the first time ever over a football game.

Straight on to book a flight for the Donny game just hope I can get a ticket, if not I might just go and stand outside the ground or even just sit on the car park at Filbert St an re live all my happy memories of the place.

[SystonFox]

I went nuts in my work van. A little teary but I had to stay professional as I still had work to do

[Walkers Wench]

And Mums!!! My old man hated football so my mum always used to take us down as kids.

I have to agree..im a footy mum and ive taken both my boys since they could sit still! We gained promotion yesterday on my youngests 15th birthday so you can all imagine what my house was like full of lads glued to SSN,,,a great memory to have.

Was slightly choked yesterday but this thread has really touched me this morning..made me nostalgic for when my own dad (and he was jumping around my living room too yesterday with the kids!) started taking me to filbert street in the 70s. In my family, Leicester City is your inheritance. Happy days x

[AKCJ]

I had a tear in my eye when the scores came in but when the thread with all the players reactions was posted...that was it..i was out of it..

[harpendenfox]

Seems I was not alone in wanting to give my Dad, who passed away 15 months ago, a call at 4.55 yesterday afternoon. Hope all these souls are enjoying a City love in somewhere in the big upstairs.

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Yes I did,thought of my Dad who passed away 17 years ago.Dragged me round the country in the 80's.Me always falling asleep on the way back.

Never forget him saying when we were in with the home fans at Old Trafford,if we score don't say a word.Lineker scored and he went ballistic.Miss you man.

Makes me wish my old man liked football.

There wear a couple of tears but it wasn't really crying

[Raj]

not really hit me as i was at a wedding when i found out...spent next hour showing everyone and anyone that we'd done it...think they cried out of boredom

[lcfcbaby]

I would be lying if I said I didn't cry... more than once. 

[_Fatboyslow_]

I felt a warm glow deep inside me and it was not TBJS

[glenelgfox]

I have followed the foxes with passion all my life (well from 7 yrs of age back in 1972), never seen them live but thank **** for the internet and cable / pay TV in the past decade plus.

I cried sort of when we went to League 1 - was more angry I guess that "our" club, who we consider a big club could drop to the 3rd division! I was angry and bewildered (still am to be honest) after that last mad minute vs. Waford last season.

On promotion I am a mix of emotional and estatic, properly hasn't sunk in due to us not playing last night and therefore going up on the back of other results. Last weeks live telecast of the Burnley match had me on the edge of my sest, nervous, pacing my lounge room then yelling and screaming when Wood scored that cracker.

What has got me teared up is reading all the posts relating to those who remember and recognise their now deceased relatives who have had a big impact on their lives re following the LCFC. We all hear and read that football is just a game and maybe to a large degree in comparison to tragic events etc. that may ring true but at times like this (promotion) football is life and not just a game.

Who knows how long the top flight will last (hopefully forever!) but lets embrace it, enjoy it and contribute how we can to ensuring that the LCFC stays where it belongs - dining at the main table.

[Agent Fox]

I forced my eyes to fill up, because that's how I thought I should react. It seemed hollow...

Nice one buddy...

I had a lump in my throat and a touch of early season hayfever

[Tielemans63]

Not ashamed to say I had a lump in my throat. My Dad is nominally a City fan but isn't really into football, it was my Grandad who gave me my love of Leicester City. He spent most of his pension taking me to the old Filbo and took me down to Wembley for the 3 play off finals in the mid nineties.

He's been dead for 14 years now but he'd have loved this season. I just have to make sure my 7 month old daughter continues with the passionate support!

[The Blur]

Even on the morning after, readng all of posts on here gushing with pride for Leicester City still gave me a lump in my throat. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I was fine pretty much all day until I saw the video of the players, seeing a bunch of lads that I idolise so much showing how much they care about our club was something special! 

[tomtom]

I sat holding my 6 month old son, whilst watching the results come in...Had a tear in my eye too!

The mrs was like, you're not crying are you???

[THEBIGJOHNSTEADER;]

I felt a warm glow deep inside me and it was not TBJS

Soon

[Lobsterboyuk]

What got me was seeing my son pictured in the crowd at Burnley away on the BBC website this morning, as ever, arms in the air singing his heart out.  

 

Reminded me that for the first time I've been able to properly share this experience with my own flesh and blood and it's different, coach trips and mars bars these days rather than trains and beer with the lads.

 

Being a city fan always has its moments and that's what keeps me going but I think having been round the block a few times I realise that this is really special and something we'll never forget, then you read the posts about those city fans looking on from above, well
