Who needs a knife being hit with a stringed conker on your head is no fun I can tell you.

Brum all set to go.

Where's all the transfer click bait gone?

Leicester Libraries and Community Centres · Follow We love this photo of Leicester Central Library, we don't have an exact date but possibly late 1940's It's changed a lot but customers may still recognise the banister at the top of the stairs leading down to the staff area in the basement. #ThrowbackThursday

If the teachers and headmaster are scared of the bully because they've also been bullied by him probably yes.

Hi 5 year contract just about to expire.

That would apply to any manager we have lined up. So on that basis either nothings happened or they're very, very good at keeping it quiet. Which means it could still be Dyche or any one else. So we're back at square one where no one outside the board has a clue.

We are now known as the Leicester City Birthday Club

Damn I knew we should be supporters and not customers.

Better still "They Got Us Relegated thread" - that would be busy and extensive.

Milan Mandaric - The best owner LCFC have had just what we need now promised to get us out of the Championship. Which he did unfortunately in the wrong direction as he took us down to the 3rd tier for the first time in our history meaning we were no longer part of an elite group of Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur. having never been below tier 3. I think he's well and truly embedded in the history of LCFC.

The Condriacs · Follow In 1969, an innocent song took over the radio. Sweet, light, impossible to forget. “Sugar, Sugar” stuck like chewing gum, and that’s exactly what she was born to be. But behind the sticky melody, there was no real band. There was no group touring the country, no interviews, no shows. The phenomenon that dominated the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom was fictitious. Literally drawn. The name? #TheArchies. Yes, like the comics. The band was made up of Archie comics characters: Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie and Jughead — and was born from a bold idea of producer Don Kirshner. Kirshner, after dealing with the turbulent backstage of The Monkees (another band with television origin), wanted something simpler: a band that would never argue with him. And how about a band that didn’t even exist? He called the legendary Jeff Barry, composer of hits like “Be My Baby” and “Then He Kissed Me”, and the singer Ron Dante, who already had a long career as a studio vocalist. With Toni Wine on the backing vocals, they recorded “Sugar, Sugar” as if it were an episode of the comics - but the sound was real. And irresistible. The success was meteoric. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for four weeks. In England, he dominated by eight. It sold millions of copies, was distributed inside cereal boxes and became the best-selling single of 1969 in the US. All this... for a band that only existed on paper. The criticism turned up his nose. It was “bubblegum pop” - a genre made to sound disposable, sugary, REAL juvenile. But the audience didn’t want to know. In the middle of the Beatles, Hendrix and Woodstock era, an animated song about sugar conquered the world. Perhaps because, between wars, cultural transformations and generational conflicts, the world needed something light. And that’s what “Sugar, Sugar” delivered. Lightness. Fantasy. A delicious lie - with the taste of truth.

That Dyche will be our next manager, so the latest hot rumour tells us.

Glad to be missing out? Fans have been warned by the Premier League that fixtures could be moved at "relatively short notice" next season because of the number of teams playing in Europe. A record nine top-flight clubs have qualified for Uefa competitions in the 2025-26 campaign. The Premier League said there is an "increased likelihood" that games will be rescheduled if English teams reach the latter stages, and it suggested fans take this into consideration when planning their attendance at games.

Talking of flags I see the Leicestershire Council lead by Reform are dealing with County Council's major problems https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/leicestershire-opposition-parties-band-together-10271797 Leicestershire opposition parties band together against new Reform flags policy The new policy has created uncertainty over whether community flags will be flown By Hannah RichardsonLocal Democracy Reporter 11:06, 18 JUN 2025 A decision by Reform UK to limit which flags can be flown at the headquarters of Leicestershire County Council has been formally challenged by opposition parties. Reform, which took control of the council in May’s local election, voted last week, in a cabinet meeting which lasted less than seven minutes, to amend the authority’s flag policy. The new policy states the Union flag and county standard are to be flown on two of the three poles in front of County Hall, in Glenfield, and either the St George’s or Lord Lieutenant’s flags displayed on the third. Previously, the Union flag, county flag and either the Commonwealth flag or, on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, the Ukrainian flag occupied the three poles at the front of the building, with the Lord Lieutenants flag also flown there when he was present. A fourth pole, which is in County Hall's inner quadrangle, previously flew other banners, such as the Armed forces flag, Pride flag or disabled people’s flag, during community events and celebration days. This pole is now to be used to “mark events such as Armed Forces Day, Commonwealth Days and Armistice Day”, with decisions over whether to fly other banners to be delegated to the chief executive “following consultation with the leader of the council”, Dan Harrison. The move has sparked criticism from staff, including those from LGBT+, disability and BAME groups, who are concerned flags celebrating their communities will not be flown going forward. One claimed it was akin to a message from the council saying that they were “not safe” and “not welcome” there. Now, opposition leaders have called in Reform’s policy for further scrutiny, with a meeting to debate the issue scheduled for next week. The call-in was signed by Deborah Taylor for the Conservatives, Michael Mullaney for the Liberal Democrats, Jewel Miah for the Labour group and by Green councillor Naomi Bottomley. The four councillors said they did not believe Reform's decision had been “thought through properly”, adding that it seemed to them to be “very rushed”. The call-in announcement reads: “This decision is not clear and leaves the chief executive in a difficult position. A clear decision is needed by the administration regarding what flags can fly, when and where. “It cannot be left to a weekly decision. Neither can the staff be left without any clear direction. “This decision has weakened the current positive position of our approved Flag Flying Policy. Staff and our residents deserve clear policies, as the previous Flag Flying Policy was agreed upon by all the group leaders of the last council.” Leader of Leicestershire County Council Dan Harrison (Image: LeicestershireLive) The four parties further said they did not believe that the Reform cabinet had taken into account the requirements of the Public Sector Equality Duty, which requires them to “eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between people with protected characteristics and those who do not”. None of the staff working groups had “had their voices heard”, the councillors added. Councillor Harrison previously told LeicestershireLive: "Staff are protected by law, so they're safe in their environment. If they wish to fly flags, they could always fly them at home if they want to [...]. “I will meet with their groups and assure them that their health, their safety, the [working] environment will be safe. Nobody would ever disrespect anybody because there's a law to protect them, and we as a county council will guide the way to protect those people." While those behind a call-in can challenge and recommend changes be made to a policy, ultimately it will be down to the council's cabinet itself to make any decisions around altering it.

They're often organised by local groups
