As I moved out of the city in the mid 80's, I am amazed how many of the great pubs I knew as a kid (with parents) and as a young 'un have gone.
Being brought up on Pindar rd, The pubs on Woodgate were my Dads favorites, they have all gone.
My pre match was a few games of snooker at the 'pool WMC - my mate always insisted on playing penny a point, and he always lost- then walk to the game, never ever had a ticket, always paid on the turnstile, usually with my mates dosh!
I can't work out if Leicester is unique in so many disappearing or if we had more than other cities to begin with.
