What it’s really like in the Leicester away end at a Midlands derby
By Nathan Wong
On Sunday, Leicester City fell to a 2-1 defeat to Midlands ‘rivals’ Wolverhampton Wanderers. Amidst farcical weather conditions, nearly 3,000 Leicester fans ended up disappointed once again as Leicester lost for the seventh time in a row away from home. Here is the experience from one fan who was there.
Travel
The less said about travel the better, quite frankly. As someone travelling from outside Leicester, the supporter’s coach was not an option. Therefore train travel was my method of transport to the game. Storm Eunice nearly put a stop to that, however, with trains being cancelled left, right, and centre. Having one train cancelled and another heavily delayed meant that I arrived at the game just after kick-off, with a fair few other fans also struggling to make it in before the start.
What was the away end like
Having to rush into the ground due to travel delays, it was difficult to appreciate the ground itself but Molineux is a ground that combines modernity with character.
Leicester City fans were housed in the lower tier of the Steve Bull stand, built in 1979 which made it the oldest part of the ground. Please click below to access the subsequent page.
