Leicester City Football Club

If you lie about chest hair then you might support LieChestHair City. Which is funny only because it’s what some Americans call this team. But that’s not how you say it. You say it like «Lester», so there you go, now you know.
First-​Hand Experience: I’ve seen them play live 3 or 4 times when they played at Filbert St, and then once or twice at their amazing new stadium, and I have to say it’s a huge improvement. But the club itself was always a worthy adversary for Oxford United, my hometown team, and even for Liverpool, sometimes. It was always enjoyable coming to watch them. Great city too. I’ll review the City of Leicester some other time.
British people sometimes leer at you, but in France, they give you «Le Stare», especially in Paris, which is very much a «Le Stare City.»
I love this team because they are called The Foxes. What’s not to love about that, am I right? The Foxes sound like a sexy team, and accordingly they’ve played some sexy football over the years, under Martin O’Neill and under Pearson now. They’ve also had a sexy striker (Gary Lineker) who is still a fan and very closely associated with the club.
Formed in 1884, they recently moved to a shiny new stadium. They’ve won the second tier 7 times, which is the second most, but have never finished higher than 2^nd and so have never won the title. They’ve won the League Cup 3 times and the FA Cup 0 times, but been FA Cup Runners Up a record 4 times (a record for a team that’s never won). They play in blue and have only ever spent one season outside the top 2 tiers of football.
They were league runners up in 1929, FA Cup Runners up in the 40s and 60s, but their amazing League Cup wins were more recent, in 1964, and then 1997 and 2000 under Martin O’Neill which shows you just how far they were punching above their weight, so well done to MON for that. Amazingly they were runners up in the same cup in 99 too.

My second home!

Have to agree with MikeMetal here — this new ground is even more soulless than their rivals up the road, the sheep. Pie was nice (£2.50 for chicken curry) but severely lacking in chicken. Toilets far, far too small for such a new ground. Acoustics are good, although there’s a fat Leicester fan to the left of the away support who doesn’t stop banging his drum… needless to say it’s quite easy to modify the lyrics of the song he starts off to something not quite so flattering about his weight…

The food staduium at the walkers is really first class. My hubby ta fewefter it replaced the old run down stadium, and it felt like walking into the future. its big bright and so clean. The toilets actually smelt reasonable.
I have been abck a few times since and the stadium has been kept well. I know some business’ use the stadium in the week as well. One problem, the typical problem, parking is very difficult on match days

Wife’s from Leicester. What she likes, I like. Don’t have a choice.

If I could give them 1 000 000 000 stars I would!
Is it wrong that I love a football team this much?
They’ve made me laugh and cry. Actually they’ve made me cry much more often than they should. Why would anybody want to support any other team?

The Mighty Foxes!
«When you’re smiling, when you’re smiling
The whole world smiles with you
When you’re laughing, when you’re laughing
The sun comes shining through
But when you’re crying, you bring on the rain
So stop your sighing, be happy again
Keep on smiling, ’cause when you’re smiling
The whole world smiles with you…»

The Walkers Stadium is the home of league one high-​flyers Leicester City FC. Leicester have been playing here for a number of years now and it is a fantastic all-​seater stadium, with a capacity of over 30,000 and it is as good as if not better than quite a few clubs grounds in the Premier League.
For travelling fans, it is easily accessible from the city centre — around a 15 minute walk, with buses also going directly to and from the ground on match days. It is around a 20 minute walk from the train station to the ground. There is a Holiday Inn right next to the stadium for anyone who wants to stay over, especially useful for those away fans who have travelled a long way on midweek evening games.
The stadium itself offers excellent views from any side of the ground. Ticket costs for the match are quite pricey compared to other league one sides, with the cheapest ticket being around £23, but considering the stadium and how big a club Leicester are by league 1 standards, the prices are not that bad. The atmosphere at Leicester games is average, there are certainly clubs with more vocal fans, which could be a good or bad thing depending on your particular tastes.
There are food and confectionary stands in each stand and while food at football usually has a bad reputation of being poor quality coupled with high prices, the food at Leicester is actually fairly decent quality, the pies in particular are better than many clubs I have been to.
The stadium also has an executive restraunt and bar called Fusions, where you can dine and enjoy the match in style or alternatively you can come here in the week for a meal. It isn’t cheap but it is a high quality restraunt. The stadium also offers a number of conference and room hire facilities, the company I work for E. ON, regularly holds its conferences here.
There is also a large club shop which sells anything and everything you could want with Leicester City on it. There is a main ticket office and two smaller ones at corners of the ground. As expected, the main ticket office can get very bust on matchdays, so please make sure you give youself enough time before the match to get a ticket.

The stadium is in a decent position, with pubs, shops and restaurants just across the road.
It’s another of the identikit new stadiums, meaning the majority of views in the ground are good ones, but the atmosphere isn’t great.
We had no problems (as away fans) parking 2 minutes away on a main road. Took some time to get through the queuing traffic after the match though.

excellent stadium facilities, but then it is relatively new, viewpoints good from various locations. plenty of toilets — food a bit pricey, but not any more than you would expect and i have had worse! nice and clean and a pleasant location.
parking can be a pain on a match day, so select your parking location prior to attending and prepare yourself for a long walk!

A great huge stadium with lots and lots of fans attenting, a excellent place to spend time with your friends and family, the mascots are very friendly with young children and clots of cheap food!

Leicester City Football Club — hier sah ich mein letztes live Fußball Spiel. Es war ein echtes Erlebnis. Ich bekam das Ticket von Graham zu Weihnachten geschickt, der selbst eine Dauerkarte (Seasonal Ticket) besitzt. DANKE!
Auch wenn Leicester City momentan nicht so gut spielt, ich bin irgendwie ein Fan.
