Probably won’t although shows there is interest in other parties voting for the big 2 certainly won’t. I just don’t like the straight jacket party politics puts on individuals as for u-turns they’re not always a bad thing as circumstances are always changing. Although the media.has a lot to answer for with the decline in competent trustworthy MPs

Notts should be down to 10

What situation is that Marti?

Especially when leaving a traffic island.

I've never voted for Labour, tory or LibDems. I've always looked for the most appropriate Independent Candidate and will continue to do so until we get a proper and fairer voting system. I guess that would be deemed wrong to some.

That's obviously from an English perspective so could be some foreign language greats maybe Pavarotti. Don't know how big he was in Europe and beyond From an English perspective Frank Sinatra?

Well their contracts have ended so if they stay they'll be technically new signings so 'in'.

The future like the past will present problems never experienced before and potentially worse than ever. Certainly worse than today. The late 50s (post war) to today even has seen the UK through one of it's most peaceful eras that seems unlikely to continue with the rise of the personality despots not making life any easier. I'm sure younger people of today feel hard done to but I fear more for my grandchildren just starting Uni and what the future holds for them.

Yes used to rush up to the London Road station to get the Sports Edition then pop into town for an early evening film followed by the pub, then post 11am either the Lee Circle Bowling Alley or the Kenco Coffee house an actual rarity in those days

If he's says yes I might go. Who could resist?

I repeat All generations have there ups and downs and relative to their time in history and will have suffered it's not something new just different. Some parts will be better some aspects will be harder

This is a more accurate display of the local election results in England, rather than that shown by most of the media, that headline the number of councillors elected. The local elections are about electing local councils. The headlines generally are not about the councils that have been elected and what parties will be controlling them. The headlines are about the apparent growing support for Reform UK. These are not the same thing, although many people seem to believe that they are. People presumably want to know who are going to be providing their vital services – whether the policies of Labour, Liberal Democrat, Green or Reform (or others) are going to be carried out in their areas. But the media demote that to being of lesser importance than how many councillors were elected per party, which does not give the public that information. In fact Labour now runs 96 councils in England, Conservatives 53, Liberal Democrats 38, Reform 23, Greens 4, and some others. That is what matters most to local inhabitants. The rise and/or decline in support of the various parties is another matter, and though important, it should not be the headline in displaying the results.

And didn't she say there was no such thing as compromise.

Well it's all relative but as someone who left school in the 60s with GCEs having been one of the first pupils at a Secondary Modern school were allowed to take them and when University was something was way out of reach it took me until late September to get a job as an on trial apprentice, work was certainly not easy to get. As for the 70s it was a terrible decade 3 day week, IRA bombings, raging inflation. If you've every been asked to search a large factory and office looking for unusual packaging after a bomb warning you wouldn't say life was good. The 70s brought inflation averaging 16% but peeking at 24%. Mortgage rates were as high as 17% you try living with those rates with 3 young kids Between 71 and 73 house prices doubled. The company I worked for an old well established Leicester one was taken over 3 times and every time there was major restructuring and redundancies. I was made redundant at 51 and never got a full time job again as was too old or too qualified and therefore thought I might leave if a better job came along. The Thatcher years were no better with more restructuring and redundancies. I was Union Rep at the time for the Technical and Office Staff getting pay rise was no picnic I can tell you. I remember spending the night at the Leicester Fire Station supporting the Firemen who were on strike. I've got grandkids now who've just started University so I recognise the modern hardships and fear that they will have difficulty finding work when complete. But all generations have there ups and downs and relative to their time in history will have suffered it's not something new just different.

Still don’t think it’s dawned on them they’re still admiring the 2016 sunset.

Just watching Brentford on the attack oh what joy it is to see passes put in front of an attacking winger instead of to their feet or as we do behind them. Such a simple thing to do.

Do you really think that many care. There seems to be little anti about it outside FT and plenty seem happy to wear the shirt with it on.

Sammy Braybrooke is in line to play a part as Chesterfield enter the Sky Bet League Two Play-Offs this week. Chesterfield to face Notts County in the Sky Bet League 2 Play-Offs Foxes loanee Sammy Braybrooke could feature for the Spireites Paul Cook’s side are up against Notts County in the two-legged semi-final The Foxes midfielder, who joined the Spireites on loan in January after a productive first half of the season with fellow fourth tier outfit Newport County, has been a key figure in their play-off push. Featuring 21 times, all starts, he contributed three assists as Chesterfield finished sixth, on 79 points, only three away from the final automatic promotion spot. Beating Swindon on the final day. And Saturday’s win at Swindon Town, coming up against another young Foxes loanee in Tom Wilson-Brown, saw Paul Cook’s side confirm a spot in the top seven, thus extending their season, with a potential promotion to Sky Bet League One on the cards. It all kicks off on Sunday evening for the Derbyshire outfit, hosting Notts County at SMH Group Stadium in the first leg of the semi-final tie (6pm kick-off), before the reverse fixture at Meadow Lane five days later (8pm kick-off). Should Chesterfield progress, they will face either Salford City or Grimsby Town in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium on Monday 25 May. All times BST. Photos: Chesterfield FC.

Undeniable proof that Leicester City midfielder deserves long-awaited chance A nomination for Premier League 2 player of the season after playing every game and finishing as the leading assist-maker means Logan Briggs should be the first-team conversation Jordan Blackwell 10:00, 09 May 2026 The attacking midfielder was named on the eight-man shortlist for the Premier League 2 player of the year award after a strong campaign for City’s Under-21s. Briggs provided a league-leading eight assists, while he also scored six goals, a total of 14 goal involvements ranking him fourth in the division overall. While he faces tough competition for the award – especially from Chelsea’s Shim Mheuka, who scored 17 goals in 17 games – if Briggs was to win it would be a signal of a very bright future based on previous winners. Two potential outcomes as Leicester City announce 13-year first Leicester City transfer priority has obvious 23-goal answer as League One question answered Premier League quartet Reiss Nelson, Curtis Jones, Liam Delap and James McAtee have all been awarded the prize in the past. The most recent winners were Will Lankshear, who spent this past season on loan at Oxford from Tottenham, and Manchester City centre-back Jahmai Simpson-Pusey. At the very least, Briggs would be deserving of a first-team chance with City. While he has trained with the senior squad in the past, and was an unused substitute for an FA Cup tie under Enzo Maresca, he is yet to make his senior debut. While Briggs is now 21, he has been compared to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the past, with the former City favourite proof that players who make a late breakthrough from the academy game can still have excellent careers. Dewsbury-Hall was 20 before he made his first senior appearance, and 22 when he made his league debut for the club. Briggs has put in the hard yards, playing in every game in Premier League 2 this season having been a regular fixture in the side for a few years. That consistency, and the creativity that has seen him top the assist charts, should at least mean he gets a chance to earn a first-team spot in pre-season.

Story by Josh Holland Both Ayew and Daka scored just six goals across all competitions and next month, they will leave at the end of their contracts. The only natural striker on the books, with first-team experience, is Jake Evans. The teenager scored two goals in 16 League One games last season for Northampton Town. Next season, with the Foxes now in the third division, he is expected to be given a fair shot in the squad. But Leicester are almost expected to bring in a more 'senior' striker to the King Power Stadium. One player that must be on their radar is Leyton Orient's Dom Ballard. The 21-year-old scored 23 league goals for Richie Wellens' side last season, despite them finishing 20th and surviving relegation on the final day. Across the campaign, he netted three hat-tricks and scored a range of goals. Ballard came through the highly-rated academy at Southampton before plying his trade in the EFL on loan at Reading, Blackpool and Cambridge United. He moved to Orient last summer and quickly proved himself to be one of Wellens' key players. In the end of season awards, he picked up four awards, including Manager's Player of the Season, Players' Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season. His goal at Cardiff City also meant he won Goal of the Season. Topping the goalscoring charts across the whole division, Ballard finished joint-top goalscorer in the EFL with Swansea City striker Zan Vipotnik. Interest in him is already building with Wrexham reportedly considering a move for him when the transfer window opens. Orient boss Wellens has already admitted the club may face difficulty in keeping him. "Do we want to keep him? Absolutely," he said. "But then if someone comes in with a figure that is acceptable to David [Gandler, majority shareholder] and Nigel [Travis, chairman], then we will have to see."

They've heard the fans talk about Deeney Day and think it's something we're proud of when I suspect they know every little about Leicester City pre-KP apart from Est. 1884 which they proudly stick next to the King Power name on the stadium banner.
