Good luck, I struggled in March. So much so, I’d argue Melton is the best place to drink in Oakham.

Unfortunately it’s a nationwide issue and not solely a local one.

No problem for half the price quoted, we need hungry players who want to prove themselves. Momentum is a powerful tool in football and signing a striker/attacker on the back of over 30 goals during a whole season, should not be sniffed at. Likely low wages too.

My partner is from Herefordshire and her parents live there, so we visit too often. It’s stunning at this time of year, late spring. Hereford isn’t up too much but it’s a pleasant afternoon, especially if you’re visiting the cathedral. There is some great history with the Welsh borders and it makes for some great banter with the locals.

Going to see Edward 2nd? It’s my favourite cathedral out of the three choirs festival, cathedrals. The others being Hereford and Worcester. Unfortunately, I haven’t been to Gloucester as much as the others but the general area is really underrated(between all three). Places like Ross on Wye, The Malverns and Forest of Dean are all not too far but maybe a little too far for your trip.

Couldn’t care less about Ady Dayman, I don’t think he was presenting despite it being his show.

Nice to hear Alex Hylton on radio Leicester bigging up the city and offering a bit of sensible perspective, to the issues that people have with the city centre. I agree with him, pound to pound, we are the best city in the UK. You can listen to his interview about 2hours 14 minutes into the Ady Dayman breakfast show, on bbc sounds.

Ah I see what you mean. Yes it’s definitely an IKEA flat pack stadium, something that’s not been helped by King Power logos adorning it, rather than pictures of players etc. However, I don’t think we would ever share with Tigers, unless King Power bought them. Plus, dunno if the pitch would be big enough, hence why they used King Power for Rugby World Cup.

An evening in Hereford, where I thought I was having lots of last pints. Strange place.

I think the potential sponsor is enough to stop supporting Leicester City, almost. Our city of sanctuary, bit of a joke which is what I took it as initially!

Of course taking drugs is a choice but addiction is a disease. Whether that be gambling, alcohol or drug addiction, it is effectively the product of a mental illness. Leicester has many fantastic services, like Turning Point, Dear Albert, Number 5 that help people attempt to turn their lives around. Unfortunately, there are always people who fall through the cracks of these services, probably those that we are all familiar with in Leicester.

I am surprised we haven’t seen any of those pretend police officers like they have in Nottingham, in Leicester.

The other staff are nice too. Hopefully does well over the summer with the roof terrace but I worry long-term with the success of the Castle. However, probably helps it’s an Everards pub!

What you’ve described happens to me on a near daily basis. However, they’re your archetypal problems of a decent size city and without getting too political, years of austerity. Nonetheless, what’s quite obvious with Leicester is that many people coming out the train station have the same concerns, almost amplified. Granby Street is a mess for various reasons but on to the people, unfortunately there are so many centres for various issues around there. Like the YMCA(great facility), or homeless centre and so on. They’ve tried to do stuff like 2007ish made Granby Street a Conservation Area but you’ve got to put places to help people somewhere. In the long-term I’m eyeing up buying somewhere in South Highfields, so I realise I may have an unusually high tolerance for naughty and annoying people.

Love Leicester. Hate Fosse Park - get it on a TIFO.

I’d take him on a free transfer, or even under 1.5 million quid. But, as much as I like the guy, we can’t afford to be spending that much on squad fillers.

Enter Patson Daka.

The French also confirmed he was incredibly boring. Wasn’t a language barrier, it was just Claude.

Having spent 4 years on that campus, yes it is a black hole and has not improved in the time since! Probably best at looking at the Marquis on London road, has a good garden, or even the Clarendon but then you have to walk over Vicky Park. If I’m missing somewhere then I’d love to know but I don’t think I am unfortunately.
