Well went to easlands for the 1st time yesterday along with my dad, gf and a few other city mates and had a fantastic day! ground was amazing and pitch looked top-notch

my only gripe- the atmosphere: i was sat in east stand, block 101 and for the first 30 mins or so it was like a morgue around me. i was the only one cheering the lads on, my cheers of "Come on city" on my own made me feel like i was in the wrong ground!?!?!?

was much better 2nd half with alot more joining in and up on there feet but dont understand why we wait until we are 2/3-1 up before we get involved? baffled me. i was up on my feet singing blue moon when the majority of the ground was belting it out yet i was one of a few doing so in our block and surrounding area! ".. you saw me standing alone..." was very apt in this case lol!

overall though loved the day and the result made it a memorable day for all of us

met a great fellow leicester blue on the train back too, colin, top fella, a right laugh.

I took my girlfriend to the gfame yesterday for the first time since the Pearce years and she was in awe of the way we played. Such gems as: "Last time if they put three passes together everyone got excited, now you keep the ball for ages" and "Adebayor is better than Sibierski was" just reminded me how far we've come in such a short space of time.

Ive been going to games alot and been saying the same thing about the atmosphere, but i dont think anyone can beat us when all the fans are in good voice. But oh well what can you do..... Apart from make sure you sing your own bollocks off and if people dont like it fuck em.
