I've got one of my best mates, a born and bred Leicester fan, coming fan to watch the match tomorrow. Where do people think the best place for atmosphere is to watch it? Im pretty sure the stadium is sold out - the local hero and slug and lettuce come to mind and the local hero just about edges it. Any other suggestions?
If he fancies going to a studenty bar then Polar Bear, Dry Dock or Rileys. If he fancies a proper old school pub atmosphere then Duffys bar or O'Neills. Lost Bar on Narbrough Road wasn't too bad - walls are covered with LCFC and Tigers memorabilia but hav never been there on a match day though. Those are places I can vouch for - can also look here for other places https://pubfinder.sky.com/results/?origin=52.6368778,-1.1397591999999577&is-geo=0 Personally I will be going to Local Hero as it has good food, drink, atmosphere and also if we do do it, I can go to the stadium and join in the celebrations there
A small village pub in South Wales for me with a bunch of Welsh temporary Leicester fans (as they were last week against Swansea).
I was there - got a spot under the AC which was a godsend. Aside from getting annoyed that I couldn't get a table and the only place that did food within half an hour was Nandos - was told that there was a 45 min wait at Morrisons cafe!?! - and them running out of Strongbow Dark Fruit it was a good day. Would have been better if we won but oh well.
I got there from 11pm and was filmed by about 9999999 radio and tv crews - absolutely brilliant atmosphere
So did I - was interviewed by someone and was told that it might actually make the local news as I was one of the few people still sober I was watching the game in front of the radio 5 guys and I noticed them all jump up and start filming I put down my pint - am glad I did as Morgan scored and everyon started hugging each other.
Haha i was filmed/interviewed for BBC breakfast, BBC live, Talksport, 5 live sport, someone claiming to be dutch television, someone claiming to do something in italy and many many more. Very surreal experience.
