We weren’t a joke between 2008-2010!

I also wonder if this is stopping people who are feeling knackered and apathetic as season ticket holders, from giving up their tickets. They can then give up their season tickets, knowing they can get to the odd game still. I have no doubt that encouraging general sale, improves the atmosphere, in the short, mid and long term.

Feel sorry for Dan Iversen regarding the Ward situation, there’s no way he should be behind him, even for a symbolic place on the bench

I think Sheff Weds are a better side than Rotherham, since they’ve had their new manager.

As much as I love Leicester, it is most probably correct that we are becoming a very poor city, which is in part a result of some more recent immigration and leaders burying their heads in the sand regarding its effects. Of course the city is also terribly underfunded, hence the very responsible (in financial aspects) city council having to use the remaining reserves to cover bills. Everyone is welcome in Leicester and instances like the Ugandan Asians and other groups are key epochs in the city’s history, which have only benefitted us. However, we are losing good quality premises to be only amplified by fosse park because much of Leicester’s population does not need them. Harrimans, Cank Street Gallery and Niche have all gone in the last three years or so, places I would have bought a large number of Christmas presents from. I am in the city centre 3/4 times a week and have not been inside the high cross except John Lewis since May time. I currently live in Western Park, majority of surrounding houses are 450k plus, pushing towards 650k, people don’t like going into town when I talk to some because the walk in is horrible, Narborough Road etc, so they get in their car, they realise it is easier to drive to Fosse Park(I don’t drive). I went to Nottingham last week and was reminded of the high quality centre shops in comparison to ours. The train station is being funded through central government, but the best way to improve the train station would be to sort out Granby Street. For 75% of people that is their first impression of Leicester. I would attempt to remove the carnage, ban takeaways from using Deliveroo and Uber Eats(this can be done and is done in some parts I clarendon park, making them use their own delivery service), remove the cycle lanes as well.

He is lethal at this level and I hope Maresca is the manager to push him to perform in the top division.

Front three, plus KDH and Ndidi looks far more fluid with Daka playing.

Two really enjoyable goals, according to flash scores, Birmingham are edging possession!

Can’t see it happening for the money quoted in January.

What the original poster was inferring to without considering municipal arrangements: as Leicester is ever expanding, are those on the border of the city merging their identity with the city, or county. Well this is certainly how I took the question asked.

Yes I am aware of that thanks.

I still wouldn’t consider this one of our own.

Thurmaston, Wigston, Oadby -City Syston, Groby, Anstey - County Blaby is more difficult.

I didn’t say that, I just said it’s up to you who you support. Of course we need the county support but I don’t connect people who are from Leicestershire as being from Leicester, I’m trying to make the point that the areas are incredibly different. We have a catchment of the city, county, Rutland up to Peterborough even, parts of Northants. I just don’t identify with someone from the county as being one of Leicester’s own! You support who you support, a lot of people have great stories as to why they are Leicester fans, and they’ve not even been to the city!

Well yes, it’s all about opinions. We take the recent great TIFO by UFS, meet me at the clock tower is a Leicester thing but people from the county may have also done and said that. However, I think living in Leicester is the qualifier for me, someone like Lineker or Matt Piper(although an Arsenal fan) perhaps! A lot of people from the county are born in the LRI. I have lived in Leicester all my life but going to school in the county made me realise how different people’s identities are. The reason I always say this about KDH, is that people assume because he runs a lot it’s because he magically cares about the club more than others who don’t, I don’t see it that way, it’s his style of play and his engine is an outstanding part of it. He may care more or less about the club than others, but we shouldn’t use his running as an indicator of this.

Well it’s up to you who you support, I just have never bought into KDH being one of our own. Other people may of course, which is fine! It’s all dependent on how you identify with things and that’s a personal preference. He’s a good player for us nonetheless and is a great academy product.

Let’s hope so!

As someone born in Leicester(not Leicestershire), and always lived in the city I don’t consider himself one of our own. However, I understand those who have not lived in this great city, to think differently. He’s a committed player on the pitch and we desperately need him to start every game in this division. My opinion on him not being one of Leicester’s own (Nottingham born), is not a criticism of his ability in the Championship.

He’s not one of our own, but has been near excellent this season. However, I don’t think he’s a Premier League player.

take out kDH and you have a valid point.

Will be interesting if it remains a wet pub, personally I hope they don’t end up doing food.

Was always gonna happen when Alex left. They want to standardise the whole BCA estate, so it’s sellable to a bigger pub chain.

We’re not too bad, I don’t think we’ve been at our best but as others say another 45 of that should see the correct score line.

Was he walking home from college?

Bit harsh on Fulham that.
