  1. At least spurs are giving it a go unlike us bottlers giving up and just intent on closing the game down at 3-0 with defensive subs and passing it back and forth across the back and then hoofing it aimlessly. What is the point of that if you’re only going to hoof it?
  2. They're off of that Leicester Memories FB page
  3. I shall try my All in One Desk top PC with a portable power pack.

  5. Retro Rewind · Follow Andy Lochhead, born on March 9, 1941, in Milngavie, Scotland, was a powerful and prolific center-forward who made his mark in English football during the 1960s and 1970s. Known for his aerial dominance and physical presence, Lochhead began his career at Burnley, where he became a fan favorite. He scored over 100 goals for the club, playing a key role in their domestic campaigns and European ventures, including their participation in the 1960–61 European Cup. Lochhead later enjoyed successful stints with Aston Villa, Oldham Athletic, and Leicester City, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess at each club. At Aston Villa, he was instrumental in their promotion to the First Division in 1972. Renowned for his commitment and reliability, Lochhead’s career is remembered fondly by fans for his consistency and knack for scoring crucial goals. His legacy remains an inspiration to footballers who value determination and hard work. I recall a game where we were absolutely shite Andy was the sub and there was a universal spontaneous rendition by the whole crowd of Andy, Andy Lochhead etc. to get him on the pitch.
  6. How do I get it to work on here? I've just upgraded to Windows 11 on a different PC and can't find how to set this up on here. I've set it up in Windows settings but it doesn't work on here.
  7. If it's going to be an age before anything starts they should convert the old electrical repair building next to the East Stand into a Beer/Food hall.
  8. In those discussions there surely must have been some dissenting voices, they should publish who was for and against suggestions like the move to digital ticketing.
  9. Who do these people represent? I know Bason is ex Foxes Trust Chairman.
  10. It's not just the Foxes Trust there's all these as well
  11. They're just setting it up for future decisions to show they've consulted before deciding.
  12. ROCK MEMORIES · Join Rock Ain't Dead Happy Birthday Chas Chandler: The Visionary Behind The Animals and Jimi Hendrix Chas Chandler, born Bryan James Chandler on December 18, 1938, in Newcastle, England, was a renowned musician, producer, and manager. Best known as the bassist for The Animals, Chandler left a lasting legacy in the music world through his work with iconic artists like Jimi Hendrix and the British rock band Slade. Chandler’s musical journey began in 1962 when he joined The Alan Price Trio, which later evolved into The Animals after Eric Burdon became their lead vocalist. Known for hits like "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", Chandler’s basslines and backing vocals played a vital role in the band’s success. Despite The Animals' popularity, Chandler grew frustrated with financial issues and the exhausting tour schedules, which prompted him to explore a different path in the music industry. In 1966, Chandler discovered an unknown Jimi Hendrix performing in a New York City club. Captivated by Hendrix’s talent, Chandler brought him to the UK, helped form The Jimi Hendrix Experience, and became instrumental in launching Hendrix’s career. From financing the debut single "Hey Joe" to introducing Hendrix to influential figures like Eric Clapton, Chandler’s guidance was pivotal in Hendrix’s rise to fame. However, creative differences led Chandler to step back during the recording of Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland in 1968. Chandler shifted his focus to managing and producing Slade, a British band that dominated the UK charts during the 1970s with six number-one hits. Beyond music, he expanded into business ventures, including recording studios and music publishing, and played a key role in developing Newcastle Arena, which opened in 1995. Chas Chandler passed away on July 17, 1996, leaving behind a profound impact on the music world. From his basslines in The Animals to shaping the careers of legends, Chandler’s contributions remain an integral part of rock history.
  13. MY simple selfish requirements in order of attending. Ticket prices not based on being a business competing with other football clubs Easy access to the stadium. Better seating, I'm too old to stand with more knee space, more comfortable wouldn't hurt. Decent view Teams to enter the pitch seperately so I can appaud / cheer just my team. Entertainment, effort and commitment by the players. Atmosphere created by the fans. Match Officials I don't even notice. No VAR or at worst VAR that is efficient, quick and more accurate than the offciials. Bigger and better access to the toilets. Larger Concourse Highlights on big screens in the concourse Preferably a Win Easy egress from the stadium. Better Transport to get home. I'm not fussed about all the pre, halftime and post activities, match themes or the food and drink.
  14. Hashem Al-Ghaili · Follow 30 years ago, Carl Sagan predicted what the United States would be like in the future. How accurate is it today? "I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...” ~Carl Sagan in "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" Don't know if true as it popped up on my FB account

  16. A lot of this seems like a foreign language or at least nothing to do with football Just a few queries. Who do the the FAB Members represent, are they LCFC employees or from the Supporter Groups? Sorry if I've missed this info. What are Match Day Themes? Acceptance of the move to digital ticketing - did no one notice how many people didn't move to it last time? Membership Packages should be tailored to suit diffeent needs, I thought they were to enable you to buy tickets.

  19. Leicester Memories Peter Taylor West bridge Station . The original railway buildings were a wharf shed, joiner’s shop, company office, engine shed, workshop and smithy. The railway was originally intended for coal so carrying passengers was not a priority. For many years local inns and tiny cabins served as booking offices and passenger carriages were attached to goods trains. It was not until 1840 that alterations were made to the office building to provide ‘some accommodation’ for passengers. There was no platform at the original station and passengers had to climb aboard using steps and handrails attached to carriages. A narrow passenger platform was eventually created in 1876. By 1893 a new purpose built station had been constructed next to Tudor Road. © Story of Leicester Leicester Memories Peter Taylor The first West Bridge Station with narrow platform.

  23. Leicester Memories Terry Jones · For many years Leicester enjoyed all the fun of the fair right here in the city centre. Huge street fairs were held in May and October and filled Humberstone Gate, from the Clock Tower to Rutland Street. Sadly the fairs were stopped in 1904 because it was said they interfered with the traffic. On Friday May 15 1903 the Secretary of State for the Home Dept heard the pros and cons for the abolition of the Leicester Fair. Apparently Leicester’s Town Council believed it would be for the convenience and advantage of the public that such fairs should be abolished. But a petition of nearly 5000 names in favour of keeping the fairs had been presented and the fair’s supporters had engaged counsel to present their case to the best advantage. The objectors had not been idle either. They had gained the support of the Non-conformist places of worship, the Sunday Morning Adult School, the Sunday Schools, the Band of Hope Union and the Leicester Temperance Society. With this powerful lobby and the Town Council’s support, the objectors won, and the last Leicester Fair was held in Humberstone Gate in 1904.For just one day, the fair was revived for Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation on June 2, 1953.......
