      both mental nights.
      the game at portman road was a draw, trouble all round the ground, and fighting on the pitch after.

      the replay on the plastic we lost. qpr fans massed in the white city estate waiting for the Ipswich after the game,
      after ripping out seats in the sar stand, f block in them days, and pelting them at the Ipswich in the away end.
      That was a mad night at Ipswich , I was in terrace behind the goal but the main rangers mob were in the seats down side of pitch as soon as the final whistle went they piled onto the pitch and Ipswich came on as well only for our terrace gate to get kicked open and even more rangers piled on , that's when we actually took cup competitions seriously .

        I was on the terrace behind the goal as well, got in the ground late, about 20 of us, due to being in some mad club just outside town....Christ knows where.

        if I remember rightly, weren't this game called off twice due to bad weather.

          That was a brilliant end to that season. I remember it so well.
          Great thread this.

                I remember that match really well, they had a good sized mob in there that ended up backed into the top corner with no where to run and rangers all round them, I had excellent view of it from safety of Ellerslie directly opposite.
                A couple of hours before kick off I was in the pub which is now defectors weld (beumont back then?) with my old man, there was a load of young Leicester in there crowded round fruit machine when old bill van screeches up outside and the Leicester mob ran out the door on wood lane side, me and the old man went to play fruit machine after they ran off and down on the floor at the side by the corner of wall there was a few bags (type the bank puts coins in) full of nuts bolts and large nails which they must have dumped when old bill pulled up. I remember one had a yellow jumper and it was pleasing to see him cowering in the top corner of South Africa road trying to get away, his jumper stood out like a sore thumb and him and his mates had obviously intended to hurt people judging by the ammo they left in pub
                Also remember another match with Leicester when it kicked off top tier school end as I think we blew a 2-0 lead after they brought on a young kid called Lineker! Wonder what happened to him?

                      Agree. Saw him in a supermarket in Sheen with his ex a couple of years ago and he came across as a right c0ck
