They do but their focus seems to be on local people and communities that have no connection or personal affiliation to the club.

That's how it was before TV took over, down the pub post game we would relive every notable aspect of the game with the help of the local Sports paper.

@kushiro Popped up on my Facebook page The Record Office for Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS - 5th February 1925 We bring you a special report on the replay at Filbert Street where Leicester City was victorious against Newcastle Utd in the FA Cup. Amazing scenes at the stadium. And a full report (or 3) can be seen in other papers on the British Newspaper Archive or here at the Record Office.

Reminds me of my oft told story of when we played and beat Man u 4-3 when I along with 1000s of other fans were locked out and followed the game from people inside telling us what was happening.

Retro Rewind · Follow Keith Weller was an immensely talented midfielder and forward, best remembered for his time at Leicester City, where he became one of the club’s greatest-ever players. Starting his career at Tottenham Hotspur, he gained recognition at Millwall before moving to Chelsea in 1970, where he helped the club win the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup. However, it was at Leicester, from 1971 to 1979, that Weller truly flourished, showcasing his blistering pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability. He earned four caps for England, scoring against Northern Ireland in the 1973–74 British Home Championship, further cementing his reputation as a top-class player. After leaving England, Weller moved to the United States, where he played for the New England Tea Men and Fort Lauderdale Strikers before transitioning into coaching. He worked with various teams, including the Dallas Sidekicks and Sacramento Knights, leaving a lasting impact on indoor soccer. After retiring, he settled in Seattle, but tragically passed away in 2004 at the age of 58 due to cancer, leaving behind a legacy as a gifted and beloved footballer.

Born and Raised in Leicester · Follow Swain Street Hillcrest Hospital 1965 These fabulous photos showcase what was once a workhouse and then a hospital before the imposing Victorian building was knocked down. The old Hillcrest Hospital, on Sparkenhoe Street, Highfields, Leicester, was closed and then demolished in the late 1970s after about 140 years. It was built as a “super-workhouse” in the late 1830s on top of a hill site fronting what is now Sparkenhoe Street. There were already three workhouses in Leicester, but it was decided that putting all the paupers under one roof would make a saving of at least £300 a year. The doors opened in 1839 with William and Mary Clarke appointed as the first master and matron. They received a joint salary of £100 a year, plus food and lodgings. By the mid-1880s the general sick wards housed in the main building had been reconstructed and, by 1892, seven nurses and one night nurse were employed. Laundry In 1894, children were removed from the workhouse to live at the Cottage Homes at Countesthorpe and the building they had occupied became a reception centre for wayfarers. Leicester was considered relatively progressive in the management of its poor and, unlike many workhouses, Hillcrest provided married quarters and didn’t separate husband and wife. In July 1948, the workhouse buildings became accommodation under the local authority and the hospital facilities were placed under the control of Leicester No. 2 Hospital Management Committee. Dramatic photo shows brave firefighters tackling massive city centre blaze 40 years ago The 1950s saw a mobile meals service established at the building and, by the 1960s, the hospital had become the Leicester Area Geriatric Headquarters. Hillcrest became a hospital for nursing elderly patients who, on its closure, were admitted to new units at Leicester General and the then new Glenfield Community Hospital. Hillcrest closed in 1977.

I think it's too late anyway, we messed it up in the summer transfer window. A couple of new players wasn't going to solve the weak mentality of the squad and ensure we survive. Relegation now looks inevitable so we need to ensure we have the right 'team' on board to clear the waste from the team and replenish the squad with strong willed, committed and skilled players. A mix of youth and experience and to rebuild. But unless the club looks in the mirror at itself and realise they are the root cause of our demise, who else could it be? Certainly not PSR and act accordingly.

Bristol City's Approach to transfer and their fans Prior to deadline day getting underway, The Robins released a statement, in which they confirmed their plan. The most important part of their statement read: “As we enter February, we would like to share our approach to the window during the last month. “We approached the summer transfer window with a plan to bring in four players with an expectation there would be three departures. During that period, we ended up bringing in seven new players and there were two departures. “This meant that we began the season with a larger squad than we would ideally operate with and, consequently, there have been fewer opportunities for home grown players than there might have been otherwise. “In addition, following his purchase and subsequent loan back to Derby County last January, we also welcomed Max Bird to join up with the first team squad for the first time in the summer. “After making a real push to sign Scott Twine and Luke McNally late in the summer – decisions we are pleased we made – alongside a couple of expected departures not occurring, we entered January considerably behind on our season budget. “Although January is a time for the media to get excited, it isn’t the best time to do business. Whilst it is natural for fans to want additions, the most important thing for us coming into January was to keep the core of the squad together. This gives the group of players the chance to continue their progression and provides an opportunity to build on the solid platform created during the first two-thirds of the season. “We have now managed to close the gap in our budget whilst minimising the impact on our first team.”

Used to go to the Kenwood Lido An aerial photograph of Kenwood Swimming Pool, Leicester, in 1971 Youngsters in the tiered fountain at Kenwood Lido in the 1950s The Knighton venue, which opened in the 1930s, was hugely popular in its heyday, with its extensive grassy lawns for sunbathing, high diving boards and its large semi-circular pool. There was a cafe where you could buy drinks, ice cream, crisps and snacks and a small shallow pool for toddlers. In the main pool there was a floating raft which youngsters would try to clamber on to. Sadly, the lido was drained and closed in the early 1970s to make way for a housing development. I'm guessing they closed due to no trade in the winters but they were always packed in the Summer. It sad that these open air places of leisure, relaxation and entertainment are closing, currently the Enderby and Blaby Golf courses are under threat. They'll soon be no reason to leave your home except to have your nails done and an expensive cup of coffee to walk the streets with.
