Shame. I've enjoyed the bar and the restaurant in the past. Tho the restaurant seemed always too keen to have everybody out by 9pm. I find the owner, Sam Haggar, a slightly odd fella. The Forge at Glenfield I've visited for the last few years. Never ever seen him talk to a punter. Always chatting, but always to the staff. And that's reflected with the staff. They too seem to keep a cold distance from the punters.

What Happened Next: Foxes Trust End Of Season Survey
Paninistickers replied to Foxes_Trust's topic in Leicester City Forum
Only a view, but I think the trust could reframe its positioning. Be a shadow cabinet. Be an owner in waiting. Be viable enough and have such a compelling business plan that, in theory, it could attract PE investment. Forget the pressure group / fans representative group vibe. The club couldn't give a shit about all that. -
What Happened Next: Foxes Trust End Of Season Survey

Jim Donnelly ffs. No different to speaking to a utility company call center agent and ranting about the price of gas. The trust would be wiser to stop engaging with the club. Instead offer practical and detailed manifestos, press releases and open letters arguing a better way to govern.. For example, don't ask for 'lower ticket prices'; set out a business plan of what the prices should be, why and what revenues it'd make compared with existing pricing. -
Gotta disagree with that. Derby is rapidly developing itself into a suburb of Nottingham. The transport infrastructure will hasten that. I'd rather we went out own way. Additionally, the dynamic (lack of) in Leicester isn't the same as Nottingham and Derby. Their interests aren't the same as ours. As a city, we have more in common with Peterborough, Northampton, Cov and Milton Keynes. Slightly more southern than northern looking. And rather lacklustre. I must be one of the few that thinks Soulsby has improved the city in cumulative micro steps. The problem is bit Soulsby but the residents of Leicester. Both the originals, who have little civic pride and will spend day and night saying how awful it is and the gazillions of recent immigrants, who don't give a shit about the place.

Nowhere in particular. I used to enjoy browsing the brochure and just seeing what vibe each had. We did inland France, Brittany, South West France (hotter) Austria and Croatia. We binned off Brittany as the weather is as unpredictable as UK and one year suffered a 17 degree cloud and rain fortnight so after that went much further south. But Brittany is the easiest to get to and weather obvs this year will still be hot. Stick the kids a little bike on a bike rack or boot, a football, badminton set and kids surfboard thing...they'd play all day long, find friends dead easy (usually Irish, Dutch, scandi) , go to the kids clubs, go to the 5 a side court..... Like a 1970s childhood fresh air outside and totally knackered for bed. You then sit out on the decking and have a few. Pay extra for the Aircon caravans tho!

Loads. Family holiday perfection I'd say.

Great review.. Another vote for Lake Bohinj. Stunning backdrop. Bled is the base though, there's a proper holiday feel to it. And the beach club at bled has lido type feel. I recommend Portoroz next to Piran. It has that old money 1970s sort of feels..Biarritz, st tropez vibes.. Rovinj is lovely. Take a cheesy harbour boat trip from there too for some coves and snorkeling and cliff jumping. Also,.adding Porec to the list, half an hour closer to Slovenia then Rovinj and similar old town vibes. For curiosity, Novigrad next door to Porec was grimly fascinating. A concrete 1960s Yugoslav shit hole. Nobody speaks English (all German and Italian) but a step back in time and, restaurants half the price of everywhere else.

Mate, this has got to be up there with the worst takes I've ever seen on here. Thomas wouldn't stand out as anything other than average in a Sunday league team. There were legitimate and serious discussions last season about him being the worst player in the club's post war history. Additionally, he couldn't look less of a leader of men. On top of that, several players have suggested in the past he's as thick as pigshit.

... the ol' king power business-as-usual-forever-in-our-hearts-we-promote splutters and lurches into action.. the 'glamour' friendly against a team nowhere near as glamorous as even we are. Next up. The New kit. 'lucky' Blue shorts and garish tribute to top temple gold daubed everywhere

Is she? She has some unorthodox business methods on the charge sheet. Turning away sponsorships. Refusing to put match tickets on sale. Outgoings exceeding incomings.

Totally likeable guy

Gabriel Clark. Is he our most unsung sports broadcaster? He's been doing the same low key job (a job most of us would kill for) on the equivalent of 30k a year since forever. He needs more kudos!

Fanzone doesn't quite fit the vibe. I always think of that nonsense at Wembley Box Park when I think of fanzone. This has a Glyndebourne feel, lol. As if you are watching the proms with a picnic. It's quite low key and rather pleasant. But, it's Leicester. An economically struggling city totally neglected by central government other than them shooing every immigrant on earth our way. You have to accept that there are some characters in the park. Not many. But some.

I've moved into a co working space in town. Been over a decade since I worked in town. What a pleasant suprise. I've been as guilty as anyone in assuming Leicester was lost. I've made an effort these last three weeks since working there to walk round town at lunch. It's very surprising. there's a low key continental cafe society vibe with the outdoor seating. There's more white people than I thought.. I mean,. I assumed it was down to say 5%. It's probs more like 2O% (which lets face it, is still very odd for a supposedly British city) .....it just needs a few more middle.class white people to come back. The city isn't lost to India and Somalia. Yet. Pleasant surprises have been *Volume of cool cafes - must be 20 really quite stylish places. With all the options, im.amazed anyone uses the hideous cafe Nero at Irish menswear *The art workshops around phoenix,.old mercury offices and curve. *The apartment blocks near curve. *The king Street cafe / co working area (forgot it's name) and area bottom of new walk....the new walk little park sqaures *Cathedral Square and the cobbled streets off shooting it *Jubilee Square world cup screen and chairs *Silver arcade & St Martins *Just out of city but the apartments behind the old great central And I mean this, although there are freaks about, I never, ever feel unsafe. Not once.

How long is the lock in? And with it being locked in what's actually being traded atm?

A rare piece of emotional intelligence and good judgement form the club. Basically a 'p1ss off, Rowett'

He doesn't deserve an announcement. He was unfit, unsuitable and under qualified for the job. He wore it like an ill fitting suit.. Even worse were his dismal attempts at intelligence. He tried to give off an air of someone well read, well researched. I'd love to know his IQ. No amount of garbage airport WH Smith self improvement books can bump up the the IQ

We are more skint that you thought.. With bills of between 55m-70m looming and projected incomings of around 14m, I'd say that is the purest definition of skint you will ever find..

It's just yet more evidence, if any more were needed, that it's business as usual down there. You can here the turnkey machinery being cranked up, spluttering into life. The managerless pre season bleep test socials. Play lower league Burton. Arrange home glamour friendly against European team less well known than ourselves Alienate half the playing staff, refuse low ball offers to sell them, and then reintroduce into squad on September 1st ...rinse and repeat

Latest Fan Advisory Board (FAB) Meeting
Paninistickers replied to jammie82uk's topic in Leicester City Forum
These things are a box ticking exercise for the club and a feel good busy body glow for the likes of Basin. I watched that podcast basin was on (during the FT elections) where he became really quite animated and excited in explaining some complicated convoluted pyramid of filtering feedback to the club. The classic parish council do gooder approach of being busy, doing nothing. The classic useful idiots. The Foxes Trust need to step up and stop playing the club at their own game of fudge and fuddle. They haven't been as muscular as I'd hoped the new board would be. Stop tapdancing to the club's absurd tunes and Issue statements,. open letters and calls to action about how the club should be run. Don't ask. Just do..Show the shambles of a club that a shadow cabinet of competency and good governance exists. -

Leicestershire County Cricket Club
Paninistickers replied to Sods's topic in General Football and Sport
I think the county commercial and socials teams - normally so good - have made a boo boo with this 'barmy army' link up. There can't be a county supporter base further removed from that peculiar middle class 'army' that sit in fancy dress and bang out Jerusalem all day. We're unashamedly a bit more of a grounded support. -
Do some rudimentary googling and chatgpt and see the reports on the Thai property market. Institutional Thai investors would rather a block of apartments go to rack and ruin, unused, unloved,. unwanted....than admit they overpaid and sitting on a dud. Sound familiar? Administration and the club forcibly removed from this imbecile is the only way out of this mess.
