  1. Bowling Green have great memories of the only time I really drank lager, in late teens and early 20s. So about ten years ago it was doing a roaring trade and I would go in with pals for 2.50 carling deal. Used to be poured with a massive head but was a great way to spend a midweek night for the grand price of a tenner. It is constantly on the stoneygate site being cited as available. I definitely agree that its downfall is partly a result of changing habits of students, although football and rugby trade must give it a chance still. A concept that leaves me considering what reduced attendances in the future will do to our pubs.
  2. Mill Hill?
  3. Moyes wouldn’t have come here. Think that was obvious from his comments.
  4. Did 8 miles in 1 hour 10 minutesround Western Park area yesterday morning. Happy with that as still burning through the Christmas indulgence. Will do a 40 minute run this evening to set myself for a good week at work. Moving to Stoneygate next month, any good routes round there?
  5. there was also someone giving it to the seated area, which is reserved for guest or family members of the players. I can sense the mood changing.
  6. I left the stadium at full time. These stewards had to walk with this car, presume ownership or Rudkin, to Upperton Road.
  7. Nigel Pearson and his staff are the reason the King Power ownership did well.
  8. Kean’s Head is outstanding. I would also recommend the Brew Tavern next to the station.
  9. Now I’m starting to get worried.
  10. One positive of the refurb is that it has got good room for standing.
  11. Will be interesting dynamic as the club reps and higher ups are surely at the inquest tomorrow, whilst the charges for this are found out.
  12. It was hyperbole in response to the hyperbole. But unfortunately I think you’re being serious. Matty James for England? Was he going to carry the water bottles onto the pitch? Danny Drinkwater might have had his obvious faults but he was twice the footballer of James when both were playing at their best. Matty James was lucky to get injured because he’d have been unlikely to of gotten a four year deal otherwise, in 2018. We certainly wouldn’t have won the league.
  13. Matty James was a poor man’s Oliver Skipp.
  14. Strange recruitment when you consider they are restricted by the finance rules.
  15. The Tielemans goal against Chelsea is the greatest in match moment in our history. Well, certainly the most tangible.
  16. How has Lineker soured his status? Not only a great player but more so, ploughed his own money into saving our club.
  17. Reminds me of my childhood. I used to know , East Bilney, litcham, Mileham and Brisley really well. Up to Dereham.
  18. I will not slag the Beautiful Pub Collective because it is independent to Leicester, a good employer and not a bad place for a stop on a crawl. I was very sad about the Salmon changing internally. However, I am glad the Old Horse has changed hands. The Salmon was unique in Leicester for a horseshoe bar(anachronistic certainly) but also was historic type of pub layout that needed preserving. BCA are standardising their estate. The interior of the Old Horse and its Garden, were a mess. Charming for an odd drink but held no value. As long as it is preserved as a drinking whole, no problem for me. I know it will hold some historic/social value for UFS members. As for Deano pubs. One benefit of living and drinking in the city, you don’t get those types midweek. We don’t do David Wilson homes, velvet settees and white BMWs. Unfortunately, there will be many at the football from the county tomorrow.
  19. Not far from where my grandparents lived in North Elmham, if I am remembering correctly.
  20. He didn’t rate them in their jobs. All the positive talk recently should be taken with a pinch of salt, fundamentally there’s no point in slagging people off when there’s no gain to it(Enzo not working for them).
  21. Yeah, I think I’ll be running this evening. Sweat out everything before back to work tomorrow.
  22. In the context of our current CB crop, he was a good player. We sent him and Nelson away on loan, which only left us with four CBs. You want five ideally.
  23. Would also be good to get more of us on Untappd. Poor old Mr O’Grady must not get a good impression from my ticks!
  24. Flint Architecture of East Anglia. I remember as a kid being slightly disappointed that my grandparents sold their flint cottage in North Norfolk, for an easy 70s bungalow- obviously not understanding why! It(along with other things) triggered an interest in building conversation and planning, that is now my career. So was a good read over the Christmas period.
  25. Half tempted to catch a bite to eat with the missus this evening, reckon town is busy on NYE for restaurants etc?
