Leicester City vs Aston Villa Pre-Match

Leaving Filbert Street at the end of a game and walking through those back streets could be a bit of an adventure.

I used to live on one of those back streets - you’ll be fine

Leaving Filbert Street at the end of a game and walking through those back streets could be a bit of an adventure.

I don't think I've ever been to an away ground where outside, all the side streets, everywhere around the stadium, it just appeared that everybody was Villa quite like Filbert Street.

That's how I remember it, we always seemed to take over the place

[The Man With A Stick]

Hated this lot since MON's ragtag bunch of talentless bastards (Claridge, Elliott, Prior, etc.) seemed to turn us over every bloody season, they even stopped us from winning the League Cup one year as they went on and beat Tranmere in the final.  Good record against them recently though so about time we started owning them.

0-2 Rogers and Bailey

Went to the old Filbert Street a few times, including the season we won the league and when we won 2-0 and Graham Taylor was our Manager

As others have said the walk away from that ground was always interesting

We play our football on Saturday, we win 3-1.

Yeah, but what do you all mean by that? You ran the gauntlet, had your head kicked in, admired the geraniums in the little gardens outside terraced houses....what?

I've never had an issue walking back to the car at Leicester.

[Risso]

I only went to the old ground once, when we lost 1-0 at the start of the season under Little. I was living in Leicester at the time. There was a huge amount of agro and a massive scrap outside one of the pubs after the game.

[Beard82]

I lived in that area of Leicester for 4 years - literally right on the streets that people walk through every match day two minutes from Filbert street / Raw Dykes road - and never saw or heard of any trouble either related to football or fans - and very little else all said.

We got into the ground really early and SGT wandered over to sign autographs and have a chat, we hadn't started the season particularly well so someone shouted "when are we gonna win Graham?" Taylor responded by pointing at him theatrically and saying forcefully "Today!" to wild cheers all around.

Are these not additional allocation? I assumed they were.

[Dogtanian]

No idea, I thought I was being hysterical, but alas... I am crap!
