It's an absolute mix mate....sometimes our row will be empty in block 14 3 rows from back and we'll have approx 8 seats for just the 5 of us.......sometimes it's got twenty 15-18 years olds bunched together.....we then have the fun to tell them to move or we use our weight to push them further down the row!My lad is working Saturday so I'm going to have his ST in block 15 and my daughter is having mine in 22, does everyone just sit anywhere or do people actually sit/stand in there designated spot?

Yep agree… Always thought Y was alright for a a BS lad although his last proper outing must have been Earlsdon. Think he brought Wigan down one year but may have made that up.honest account.
over the years weve had great battles with the BS. the past 20 years cov have had the upper hand which your lot will know full well.
basher is still alive and kicking, back in the 70’s & 80’s it wasn’t a game for the faint hearted. a bad day for us was late 90’s. we were coming back from Derby and we stopped of at Leicester coming back. FB thought it would be a good idea to give you lot a call prior. bad decision by him as you managed to get the whole city out. we arrived in leicester and got chased everywhere. all fun back then. the Sunday game was eventful. good friend of mine sent down for the Sunday game. I dont bother with the scene now and havent since 2005 but always keep in touch with the boys
Ferocious was the norm around that time when East met West. I remember in Dec 86 it got particularly lively on the town side corner of Gosford Park .Bernie's brown Merc leading a convoy of cars, mini buses and roller shuttered delivery vans from Walsgrave and along the M69 in early 1986 was a hoot.
T'was quite a ferocious day as I recall.
they always move if asked to be fairI'm sure I can do the same
We’ve shown in Leics town centre a few times over the years… but not as much as we should have. It’s good that the scenes moved on…nobody cares anymore in the same way us old heads did… and that’s for the good.The

If you were there you may recall a pyro of some kind coming from our lot and going through the window of what I think was a building society or bank across the road and staring a bit of a blaze inside !
We also had you at home on the Bank Holiday Monday night before your big day in 87 and you had a few carloads driving round the town .
The only time I’ve actually seen any of you in the City Centre.
Apologies to anybody offended by the recollections of days gone by that are part of life’s rich tapestry like it or not.
Exactly , it’s good that times have moved on in the main. I don’t think talking about what’s a major part in the history of this fixture is going down too well on here.We’ve shown in Leics town centre a few times over the years… but not as much as we should have.

Let’s pretend none of it happened
Oh Shmmeee, you missed out on all of this malarkey!Ricky Gervais impressions aside(“too challenging for ya??”), I don’t think anyone’s offended. Just that in 2024 it comes across as a bit sad for grown men to chase each other round town.
It was the time of our lives back then.. now its just something daft that happened. A few old heads on here but we are all From a different world now. I got caught… paid the price…and when that happens you sort of grow up a bit..a lot!!Exactly , it’s good that times have moved on in the main.

We and they were in the beer garden as described.
No wonder you believe in chemttails if you can’t read or comprehend basic English.
pot kettle black.Anyone else getting bored of the life and times of the 70s and 80s baby squad
He was with them that time they attacked Phat Larry's, perhaps Cardiff as well once?Yep agree… Always thought Y was alright for a a BS lad although his last proper outing must have been Earlsdon. Think he brought Wigan down one year but may have made that up.
Yes he came with Cardiff aswell. Very odd. a strange lad… but better in later years. We had Cardiff turn out for us against Villa… that was odd aswellHe was with them that time they attacked Phat Larry's, perhaps Cardiff as well once?

Yes.Don’t know if it’s Ball Hill but one of ours got put through a window that year so must be the same one.
It was on the main road that you came onto near the ground , turn right for town , left for Stoke I think . The coaches parked over the road on the right and we turned left and headed up the road
There was a bit of abuse going either way between both lots but one Cov bird was really trying to stir the pot and she succeeded.
There was a scrap and a lad who was with us got put through a window and I think it was a Charity Shop.
He got a pretty bad cut his arm.
I can’t even remember why we were walking that way but I do remember that.
is that Ball Hill ?
That’s it’s PDSA charity shop top of ball hill, straight up the road towards Stoke looked nasty tbhDon’t know if it’s Ball Hill but one of ours got put through a window that year so must be the same one.

I sit further towards the halfway, I’m just curious in the corner do they actually check your tickets at the top of the concourse, how do they police it?I'm sure I can do the same

The lad in question always wore just a vest in the summer months ( Yeah I know) so had no protection at all .That’s it’s PDSA charity shop top of ball hill, straight up the road towards Stoke looked nasty tbh
Good old days with no cctv or camera phones,Oi u

It was a bad cut but as I recall he made an appearance in town later on in the evening .

Yep, people were kicked out of their ST seats for this.
It's pathetic that they have them shut and then suddenly open them when there's a chance to make a few quid.
SAG can be pushed on these things and should have been years ago.
to be fair they now ask people who come up those stairs and walk across a row of seats to see their ticketCan i see your ticket
yes
* not block 14/15 *
you'll have to go up the other stairs
ok
The most sought after part of the fucking ground as well
Jim Blythe’s son was stabbed to death on one of those fights in Hinckley.I remember a fair sized mob of Cov coming over to Hinckley in the 80s and that kicked off all over town. The Leicester boys maintain that they still didn’t take the ‘Duke of Rutland’ though.
that'll be brand new accounts with LE post codes, they said ticketmaster was easy to game40 tickets have been cancelled from Leicester fans apparently.

if there is any in 13 we won't know as they'll be quietAnd 40 is hardly the hundreds some Leicester fans believe have tickets in 13.
