History
The Baby Squad have notably had fights with the Chelsea Headhunters, who are affiliated to Chelsea F.C.[2] In August 2000, Leicester were listed as the 2nd most violent football club in England and Wales.[3]
In November 2001, the Baby Squad were ambushed by hooligans from Luton Town, called the MiGs, at Leicester railway station before police split up the two groups.[1]
In February 2008, eleven men were arrested after up to 100 hooligans were involved in running battles between fans from Leicester City and Coventry City outside a pub in Coventry. Police confiscated knives and one man suffered minor head injuries.[4] The week before the incident with Coventry fans, 13 men were arrested after clashes between fans from Leicester and Norwich in which some men sustained minor injuries.[5]
