[Football] The Best And Worst Fans

[Thunder Bolt]

Leicester have always been good and not taken their success for granted. Whenever I have talked to their fans I have been impressed with their knowledge and loyalty. I've never heard any homophobic comments from them inside or outside a ground. Even their hooligan firm - The Baby Squad - were a decent bunch when they took over the Flying Scotsman at Kings Cross many years ago.

I hope they make the Champions League and eventually get to play in it again, whenever that may be.

If you’ve never heard homophobic chants at the Kingpower, then I suggest you haven’t been to a match there. They even turned in one of their own who was convicted of it.

From an after-match coach park perspective I'd say that the Burnley (and, earlier, Wednesday) supporters were the most unpleasant. One lot even boarded a waiting coach and shrieked their abuse at young Albion fans. I've no idea what Burnley fans' problem is.

Palace excluded.

We could start a list...

It's one of those away matches that always seems to fall in midweek.

I remember going there around 2011 and Marcos Painter being sent off. Come to think of it, there were one or two dickheads but in a crowd of nearly 30,000 there's always a chance of neanderthals. Maybe not the very best but certainly not the worst.

I am sure it was the Leicester fans homophobic abuse that made Liz Costa physically sick at one game at the Amex.

Villa have a reputation for being the best or one fo the best supported in numbers and vocal support, hence their chant 'everywhere we go, everywhere we go, it's the Villa boys making all the noise, everywhere we go'

Without the home and away dichotomy, my experiences:

Watford, Liverpool, Everton, ManU, Arsenal, Spurs, Sheff Utd, Newcastle - home and away, no; trouble, homophobia, cowards punches reported, spitefulness towards our relative league position etc.

ManC (last May), Bmuff (I sat next to them at one Amex game), Leicester, Burnley, Chelsea, West Ham, Villa - homophobic chants, or Albion fan attacked, or idiots who’ve come with a negative/aggressive attitude to the match day experience. Always a minority though. Leicester and West Ham fans always seem so scummy.

Worst away - Southampton. Yelled abuse at my son and I when we walked over the Itchen Bridge back to our car. Lots of homophobic stuff during the game.

Honorary mention for Middlesbrough for obvious reasons. Kind of counts as it was a promotion game.

Best away. Man Utd. Found them very respectful of us.

Worst home. Liverpool. Arrogant dickheads.

Best home. Arsenal. Because they are always funny when we beat them and start slagging off the club.

I like Arsenal fans. Can't tolerate Leicester.

I know this isn’t a football story, but perhaps indicative of the some of the abusive citizens of Leicester, seen home and away from them.

Best experiences away for me in the PL have been Newcastle, Liverpool, Everton and Man Utd. All very welcoming and keen for a chat and to know about our club / our season. General vibe fine too when walking about.

Worst as always were Chelski, Wet Sham and Burnley. Bigoted morons galore and while it’s not all of them that are the culprits it’s a constantly overbearing factor. Scornful, dismissive, derogatory, homophobic, racist pricks abound!
