SpinPin, in Navigation Street, near Burleys Flyover, is the idea of city man Mohammed Khan. He said that his initial idea was for a roller skating rink, but over time he had decided to include six bowling lanes and arcade machines, which he said would be available from next month. The 44-year-old, of Evington Road, said it took him almost 15 years to find the right venue. He said: "Initially I thought let me open a roller skate centre as the closest one is in Derby and once I saw that there was potential to create one I took the initiative." Mohammed added: "When I walked into this building I saw the floor was perfect but the cost was too much to cover just from the rolling rink, so I decided to put in six bowling lanes, which will be open for May half term. We just need to install the machines." The 20,000 sq ft venue is located on the first floor of Ramdooth House. During the grand opening, visitors will be able to take part in free skating sessions, said Mohammed. He added that by half term, which runs from Monday, May 26, until Friday, May 30, there will be about 20 arcade machines available and a prize stall for people to exchange their winning tickets. Mohammed said the aim was entice people of all ages to come to the venue, instead of limiting it to roller skaters. When asked why he wanted to open such a venue in the city, he said: "I love Leicester. when I go to another city and see something we don’t have here, I always think how could I bring this back to Leicester." The grand opening's free skating sessions tomorrow take place between 5pm-6.30pm and again from 7pm-8.30pm. People interested in attending the free opening event tomorrow must go on the company's website and register. Slots for the roller skating rink will normally cost £9.95 for an hour, plus £3 to hire roller skates if visitors do not bring their own.

Former England goalkeeper Rob Green was relegated four times in his career, with the last two coming at Queens Park Rangers following poor seasons with Norwich and West Ham. Sebastain Bassong has also gone down four times, with the most recent of those coming twice for Norwich in 2014 and 2016. Nigel Quashie makes the list too, going down with Southampton in 2005 before doing so again with West Brom in 2006. Ex-striker Marcus Bent played for 18 clubs throughout his career, so it's the law of averages that he'd have experienced some relegations. After going down alongside Hreidarsson in Crystal Palace's 1998 team, he went on to get relegated with Ipswich, Leicester and Charlton. And finally, the first of Marc Edworthy's four came in that same Palace side, proving that it may well have been a curse.

It is if you still intend to go to circa 10 games anyway. But having the ST with the massive differential to the matchday ticket is a way of keeping hold of you. Which is fine if that is your intension but questionable if it's the only reason for renewing. I wonder what the renewal rate would be if the matchday price was a better / more realistic and fairer match to the ST price.

You're correct it was difficult but o are lots of decision in life but you have to make them and sometimes it's correct to examine the logic and reason to then follow your mind and not your heart.

I say good luck to those renewing. I hope with those not renewing it allows for new ST holders to not have to pay the extortionate membership and matchday prices and allows a new generation to gain access. I also hope success comes quickly.

Let's debate that. Yes or No I'm a maybe.

https://saintsmarching.com/leicester-city-and-southampton-could-see-fantastic-win-win-coaching-swap Russell Martin and Steve Cooper could swap sides soon Leicester City are weighing Russell Martin's head-coach capabilities and the former Saint rallying their upward ascent is quite an open possibility. On the other hand, it goes without saying that Southampton have also resumed their manager shortlisting process recently. Further, in a bizarre sequence of events, the Saints have also found some manager inspiration from Leicester City. And it turns out that head coach has also been a free agent for as long as Martin has been. It's a pretty simple guess now, that individual is none other than Steve Cooper whom Birmingham World has mentioned as favourite for the role. Yes, that Nottingham Forest gaffer who uplifted them to the Premier League after a prolonged top-flight wait. Add to the fact that he retained their Premier League status during his tenure and neither let Leicester fall down quickly, Cooper's addition could be a game-changer at St. Mary's. On the flipside, Russell Martin is an elite leader when it comes to the Championship meaning both the Saints as well as the Foxes could immediately benefit from swapping previous coaches. Do you eventually find your real level - Championship?

My decision has nothing to do with protesting. I sincerely hope it allows a new Dad/Mum + kid to go and not have to pay the extortionate matchday costs. I also sincerely hope that things improve and LCFC achieves success again. I think plenty will not be renewing because they can no longer support the PL

Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves."

I keep thinking is this about going to Brighton or not?

The other sad thing for me is compared to going live games watching on TV is an abomination as I like to see the whole pitch to see the context of what is happening, to see the runs off the ball, to see players re-positioning and adapting. You've also got the editing where they show inconsequential replays, zoomed in views on the last player to try something or who they happen to be talking about all as the game is still going on. You leave it with a throw in and the next time you're back live it's the other end of the pitch and the other team have the ball. It infuriates the hell out of me. Even with their commentary their continuing obsession with how the 6 are doing even if they're not the teams playing.

Nothing to do with protesting.

Well if it ends up with a bandage over his mouth rather than his ear I'd take that.

My son and I have not renewed, my physical support comes to a sad end after 60+ years. It's not just about the current state of the club it's about the current state of football, well the PL as well. The ever growing imbalance and with the media's obsession with the 6. Never being able to build a team as the club is forced to sell to survive. The treatment of fans with things like forcing electronic ticketing on fans The focus on here today gone tomorrow fans The topsy turvy KOs especially the late evening ones as I can no longer get the bus to these. I could go on but I find myself asking before each match should I bother going and it's a struggle to say yes as I'm not and have not been enjoying going for a while now. I'll always be interested in how they are doing and will try and watch some games at home but that's it for me.

As long as you make sure he's awake when the match starts.

All those rebellious men & women without hats on.

The 20-year-old Leicester City player has duel nationality after being born in Strombeek-Bever in Belgium to Moroccan parents, meaning he was free to choose between the two nations when it came to deciding his international allegiance. He was previously a part of the Belgium youth set up, making appearances for the U15s, U16s, U18s and U20s between 2019 and 2021 before then deciding to swap to Morocco. That proved to be a smart move for him as he quickly rose up the ranks in their youth set up and was included in the 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He later made his international debut in the third placed play-off defeat to Croatia. He was later a part of the nation’s U23 squad which won the U23 Africa Cup of Nations in Morrocco, qualifying for the 2024 Summer Olympics in the process. It’s a decision the Leicester man does not look back on with any regret, admitting it came down to a choice of the heart. “You should always follow your heart. Look, you shouldn’t go against your heart,” he said. “If you want to play for Morocco, you should do it. If you want to play for Belgium, you should do it. You just have to follow your own heart and don’t look too much at what people think. Or what people say for your choice. You just have to follow yourself, your own path. “And for me it was Morocco. So, I’m very proud of that. And, uh… I think that I, uh, that I made the right choice.” Manchester United star discusses ‘most beautiful rivalry’ and the game ‘decided the fate of an entire city’Discover London born Crystal Palace player could be offered national team chance as dual-nationalDiscover Small EV Cars | Best Searcher| Sponsored by Taboola New Small Electric Cars For Seniors (Take A Look at The Prices)Read MoreSkip “Didn’t go how I’d have liked” – Rising star has no regrets about underwhelming Everton stintDiscover “Things haven’t changed” – Jhon Durán explains why there’s little difference between Aston Villa and Al-NassrDiscover

Here's one How did Van Nistelrooy and Howe behave in the technical area?published at 08:01 Michael Emons BBC Sport journalist Eddie Howe was the main figure of course, but Newcastle assistant Jason Tindall also played a part. Whenever Howe was talking to his players at a set piece or to the substitutes waiting to come on, Tindall would move into position so there was almost always one of them at the front of the area. Howe was also in constant talks with Tindall at the back of the technical area or writing notes down in his notebook. When the second goal went in, Howe immediately called over Joelinton for a tactical chat, and he did similar with a number of other players when the third went in, despite the big lead. Ruud van Nistelrooy had his head in his hands after the visitors scored after a couple of minutes and was noticeably getting more and more frustrated at his side's inability to keep the ball as sloppy mistakes became more frequent. He spent most of the opening half hour on the edge of the technical area, but after Newcastle's third goal, he watched the rest of the half from his seat. He did return to the edge of the technical area for most of the second half though, with most of the home fans leaving well before the end. See what all the other managers did
