  • ok, on my second year, my house was in between the footbal stadium and the rudby one lol, so I knew whne each scored by sure hehehe

    I have to say that Tigers supporters behave much better than the footbal ones... 100% sure

    I do not remeber how many times i have heard to the City Football Club "blue army" of supporters lol Great fun (not all where noisy, some of my good friends were football supporters and behave lol)

    The Walker Stadium is just a stones throw away from Filbert Street, their old ground.

    Leicester are one of Aston Villas fiercest rivals and the games between them are always very competitive both on and off the pitch.

    To watch the match the only equipment you really need is a good strong voice to sing your club`s songs and encourage the team and your eyes to actually watch the game, some people do take a pair of binoculars if they sit far from the pitch.
    Apart from the above the club s encourage you to buy their merchandise to enhance your matchday experience, you can buy virtually anything from hats and scarfs to the full blown replica kit, which generally is updated annually.

    Leiceter City's new stadium opened in August 2002. I went to Walkers Stadium for the first time in October 2006, to watch my hometown team, Southampton, play there. I had been to Leicester City's old ground, Filbert Street, but the new stadium is much better. It has a capacity of 32,500 and it's almost identical to Southampton's St. Mary' Stadium, but has blue seats instead of red. It is nicknamed the Crisp Bowl, because it is sponsored by Walkers' Crisps. A seat, at the side, in the West Stand, cost me £29. A seat behind the goal costs £22. A matchday programme costs £3.
