I doubt anyone is streaming it for general publication as it's seen as a training session rather than a pre-season game.

https://www.fv-weiler.de/ Game against Leicester City sold out! Published by David Fink on July 30, 2024 Leicester City, the 2016 English champions and this year's Premier League newcomers, have set up camp in Weiler since yesterday. The Foxes are preparing for the coming season in our beautiful Raiffeisenbank Stadium. The highlight of the training week will certainly be the test match against our FV Weiler. The game starts at 18:30. Here are the most important information: The game is sold out! The demand for advance tickets was so great that there will be no box office on the night. Anyone who doesn't have a ticket won't be able to get in and can or should save themselves the trip to Weiler. Children under 14 do not need a ticket and can of course enter the stadium. As organizers, we have allocated a certain number of children. We ask that children only enter the stadium under supervision. A very important request to all guests. If possible, come to the stadium on foot or by bike or carpool. Do not park in emergency routes and behave considerately.

Douglas McLay CAMPAIGN FOR THE REOPENING OF THE IVANHOE LINE CONTACT INFORMATION: CRIL Douglas McLay RELEASE DATE: 29 July 2024 SWADLINCOTE DERBYSHIRE 29 July 2024 Ivanhoe Line reopening funding cut! In her speech in the House of Commons today Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves announced that she was cancelling the Restoring Your Railways budget from which the Ivanhoe Line reopening was to be funded. This leaves the scheme to reopen the Line from Coalville to Burton on Trent unfunded and therefore is in danger of being cancelled. This despite the newly elected Labour MPs in the constituencies along the Line pledging their strong support for the reopening during the recent election campaign. Rachel Reeves said today that one of the government's first actions on coming to power is to cut a large number of planned infrastructure projects, including the Restoring Your Railways Programme from which the first phase of the reopening of the Ivanhoe Line was to be funded. This would be a body blow to the Campaign to reopen the Line. The Treasury have stated tonight that the Ivanhoe Line is unlikely to be funded. The first phase of the reopening recommended by Network Rail as part of the Outline Business Case study was to run a Derby to Coalville service via Burton. During the recent election Campaign the now elected MPs for South Derbyshire and North West Leicestershire whose constituents would have benefited from the reopening pledged their strong support. In her speech in the House the Chancellor announced that there is to be a review by the Transport Secretary of transport infrastructure schemes currently underway to identify any whose benefits may justify replacement funding being made available. CRIL feel that this review represents an opportunity for the local Labour MPs to lobby their government by highlighting the strong social and economic case already identified by the Department of Transport. The funding required to bring passenger services from Derby to Burton, Swadlincote, Ashby and Coalville (circa £100M) is very modest in the scheme of things Although the first phase of the reopening is to go as far as Coalville, CRIL remains fully committed to get the Line reopened through to the mainline station in Leicester. CRIL Spokesman Douglas McLay said “After so much optimism generated by the very positive outcome of the Outline Business Case prepared for the Department of Transport, this is a bitter blow to the campaign. Now is the chance for the new Labour MPs in the two key constituencies, who were so supportive of the reopening during the recent election campaign, to roll up their sleeves and demonstrate to their government that the relatively modest investment needed will quickly deliver significant social and economic benefits to the A511 corridor. CRIL aims to work in partnership with our MPs to support their work lobbying for the line. We will also be organising a Call to Action to coordinate our local supporters to express their views to local and national politicians” BACKGROUND INFORMATION CRIL (The Campaign for the Re-opening of the Ivanhoe Line) was formed by the late Geoff Bushell in 2019. He tirelessly raised awareness and support for the reopening of the Ivanhoe Line and formed a team of volunteer specialists to support him. He gained the public support of all nine first and second tier local authorities along the line, as well as all the local MPs, all of whom continue to support the Campaign. CRIL bid to Join the Governments Restoring Your Railways Programme and was selected to participate in the first wave. The Programme provided funding for work to complete the Outline Business case and work is now underway to complete the Full business Case. The indications prior to general election Purdah were that the case was very strong. Sadly we lost Geoff to Covid in 2020, and the rest of the committee pledged to carry on his work to re open the Line by completing the SOBC and actively campaigning for the reopening of the Ivanhoe Line

Born and Raised in Leicester · Follow 9 h · Leicester City pioneered an innovation in the 1970s which perhaps surprisingly didn't catch on. They inflated a giant balloon over the Filbert Street pitch which kept the playing surface frost-free and protected it from the snow and rain. The polythene balloon - or tent as it was sometimes called - was the largest of its kind in the world and was inflated to over 720,000 cubic feet by four propeller fans, weighed over a ton and could be erected by 15 men in two hours. The cost was £8000 but it paid for itself. Not only did it cut down on postponements (no system protected the terraces and approaches to the ground) but it also brought revenue from extra matches being played at the ground. In one week in January 1979 alone Filbert Street attracted over 70,000 fans to the Second, Third and Fourth replays of the FA Cup Third Round tie between Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday while the rest of the country was snowbound.

Leicester Memories Graham Hulme · 8 h · An old postcard view of Belgrave Gate, showing the Red Cow pub on the corner of Orchard Street, 1920s. An inscription on the back of the card bears the name of the landlord George Battle whose name appears as the licensed victualler for the Red Cow in Kelly’s Directory for Leicestershire of 1925. By the time of the 1928 directory Mr Battle appears to have become landlord of the Robin Hood in Gallowtree Gate (not to be confused with the Old Robin Hood which used to exist in Woodgate) and James Millis Clarke is listed as licensee at the Red Cow. An earlier Red Cow Inn used to stand on the Orchard Street corner from at least the early 1800s but was completely rebuilt and replaced by the building shown in the picture during the late Victorian era. Possibly the new pub was erected around 1882 to 1883 when references to the Red Cow in contemporary newspapers changed to the name “Red Cow Hotel” instead of calling it the “Red Cow Inn”. The licensee at that time was William Atkins who is shown, aged 44, as resident at the old inn at the time of the 1881 census. His wife was Selina (nee Healey) who died in 1882 and the following year he married a widow named Sarah Jane Merry (nee Turner) who had previously been married (since 1869) to a shoe mechanic named Joseph Merry. William Atkins died in 1887 and Sarah took over the licence of the Red Cow but married again in 1888. Her third husband was Edward Horace Driver who then became the licensee of the Red Cow and is listed as such in Wright’s Directory of Leicester for 1889-90. Mr Driver was originally from Great Yarmouth but he had married Sarah at Walworth in what is now part of South London where he was apparently living and working as an actor. Unfortunately, the couple’s marriage was not to last as Sarah died on 1st June 1891, aged 46. They had retired from the Red Cow and Sarah’s Will gives their address as 57 1/2 Cobden Street, Leicester, where Sarah had previously lived with her first husband, Joseph Merry. At the time of the 1891 census, taken on 5th April, two months before Sarah’s death, the couple are shown residing at 11 Millstone Lane. Mr Driver still had the occupation of publican and the household included Sarah’s sister, Annie Turner. By the time of the 1901 census Edward Driver seems to have remarried and was living in Lambeth where he again had the occupation of actor. He appears to have died in Lambeth in 1926, aged 74. Partly seen on the extreme right-hand edge of the picture is the old Primitive Methodist chapel which later became a co-operative hall and subsequently has been used as an entertainment venue. The chapel was built in 1882 to 1883 to replace an early Primitive Methodist chapel which had stood in George Street since 1819. The Belgrave Gate chapel was sold to the Co-operative Society in 1937. The Co-op drastically altered the frontage and removed the tops of the towers. The foundation stone for the new chapel and its school were ceremonially laid on Tuesday 30th May 1882 by the Mayor of Leicester, Alderman Henry Thomas Chambers, and a memorial stone was laid by the local MP Alexander McArthur (Leicester Chronicle 3rd June 1882). A large gathering of people assembled to witness the ceremony. Members of the congregation had met at the old chapel on George Street and then walked in procession to the new site. The new chapel was designed by Edward Burgess of Leicester and the main contractors for the work were Messrs. Rudkin. A bottle was laid in the stone by the Mayor, containing a parchment with information about the building and a special edition of the Leicester Chronicle of that morning which reported on the visit to Leicester the previous day, Whit Monday, of the Prince and Princess of Wales (the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra) who came to formally open the new Abbey Park. The whole of the work on the new chapel and school was to cost about £8,300. The Rev. Joseph Wood presented the Mayor with a commemorative silver trowel and another was presented to the MP Mr McArthur. After the ceremony tea was provided for 600 people in the recently opened Annie Cook Memorial Hall in Archdeacon Lane (now demolished). The Leicester Chronicle of October 20th 1883 reported on the formal opening of the new Belgrave Gate Primitive Methodist chapel and school, which was dedicated to public worship in the presence of a large congregation on 16th October 1883. The twin towers above the frontage rose to a height of 80 feet. The new chapel could seat 1,000 people. The school, vestries and meeting rooms were to the rear of the chapel. The schoolrooms could accommodate many hundreds of children. The opening service included an address by the Mayor of Leicester, Francis Hewitt, successor to Alderman Chambers.

Wout Faes picked up an injury in his first training session back at Leicester City, but it won’t stop him from travelling to the club’s camp in Germany.

Bit loose connection but deserves a mention ive been to filbert street n stood on the kop those were the days my friend · Ian Coppin · 12 h · Big call out for Tom Bloxham who scored the winner for Shrewsbury Town against Derby County in a 2-1 win yesterday. He was released by Leicester City as a 14 year old and went on to play for Aylestone Park, before going on to play for Shrewsbury Town. Tom first signed as an apprentice, and then signed professional forms in 2021. Playing 88 games and still only 20 years old, the Blaby based youngster, is seen as one of the hottest properties in the lower divisions.

Taqwa Real Estate & builders · Follow 1 d · Researchers at Denmark Technical University (DTU) have developed a groundbreaking battery material using potassium silicate, a mineral found in common rocks, that could revolutionize electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which are costly and environmentally harmful, this new material is cheap, eco-friendly, and more efficient. Developed by Mohamad Khoshkalam, the paper-thin, milky-white material conducts ions well at around 40 degrees and can be produced in an open atmosphere at room temperature. This innovation promises to enhance battery capacity, reduce charging time, and improve safety by eliminating combustible liquids. With the potential to enable EVs to travel up to 1,000 kilometers on a 10-minute charge, this solid-state battery technology could become a game-changer. Khoshkalam has patented the material and founded K-Ion to develop battery components, with a working prototype expected in 1-2 years. #EVBatteries #PotassiumSilicate #EcoFriendly #FutureOfTransport #BatteryInnovation #LithiumAlternative #CleanEnergy #ElectricVehicles #SustainableTech

When there is so much money being spent on a team I'd suggest the fans are entitled to expect that to produce something better than they've had recently although they maybe should give Enzo time before losing it.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/kiernan-dewsbury-hall-makes-leicester-9442295 Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall makes Leicester City celebration vow as he explains Chelsea transfer The midfielder will return to the King Power Stadium in November with his new club, where he is teacher's pet with Enzo Maresca using clips of him to explain his tactics ByJordan Blackwell 11:36, 28 JUL 2024 Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has vowed not to celebrate if he scores against Leicester City this season. The Shepshed midfielder reunited with former City boss Enzo Maresca this summer, joining Chelsea for £30m. He will be back at his boyhood club in November when City host the Blues in the Premier League, and should he find himself on the scoresheet, he’s said he won’t go wild. Dewsbury-Hall had said at the start of the summer that he had no intention of leaving the King Power Stadium. And he’s admitted that it took a top club to come in for him in order for his mind to be changed. “If I score against them I won't celebrate,” the 25-year-old said. “I wish them the best of luck for this season. I wanted to test myself at the next level. This felt like the right time and I wouldn't have left Leicester for a sideways move – it had to be a top move. “I always knew Chelsea were admirers. When Enzo left Leicester, we were on fantastic terms. I wished him the best of luck and he did the same to me. I never in my head thought: ‘He's going to take me when he goes to a big club.’ I don't think I can be that arrogant. “But when it came about, I was very happy, because it meant I could work under him again and continue to evolve. It was perfect for me. “I'm a completely different player now coming back into the Premier League than when I was playing in it before. I've evolved, as a player and as a person. I've had the experiences of winning, of dominating games, and understanding football on a different level to what I did before. “If I made those leaps and bounds in the first year (under Maresca) then I feel excited to see what can happen in the years to come. In football, you can't stagnate, you can't stop learning.” Dewsbury-Hall is yet to play for his new side, with a knock keeping him out of Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Wrexham and their 4-1 defeat to Celtic. But when he does play, he will be able to follow Maresca’s instructions to a tee, something he is already being teased about, with the manager using clips of Dewsbury-Hall at City to explain his tactics to his new squad. The midfielder said: “A couple of the lads have had a laugh and joke (about me being the teacher's pet). I don't mind, it's all fun and games. “You are getting lads coming up to me and asking questions. I am happy to let them know what my opinions and experiences are. They will gather their own opinions week by week. “They've bought into it from minute one. You need everyone to buy in because if they do, you can really achieve something. I'm hoping that continues because if it does, we can be a serious force. “You could see that for Leicester last season. Flowing football. It was a joy to watch. This season it will go up a level because Chelsea are a top, top, top club. I genuinely think in a short space of time we can be pushing for minimum top four, but more than that because I can see the foundations are set. “He (Maresca) has got an aura. You listen to what he is saying. He can be very strict. Then he's got a gentle, human side to him where you can go and talk to him as a person. He was a player for 20 years so he knows what it is like. “He has come in exactly like he was at Leicester: confident. He's probably more confident here than when he was at Leicester. I don't know if that's because he's had a year under his belt and we did really well at Leicester winning the Championship. He just feels really confident and knows exactly what he wants and needs. He has something about him where you respect him.”

'A Lot Of Room For Us To Improve' - James Justin provided an update on Leicester City’s pre-season so far - The full-back was speaking after facing Serie B side Palermo on Friday - The Foxes lost 1-0 in the friendly at Chesterfield’s SMH Group Stadium - He sees promising signs from the work done in the build-up to 2024/25 Leicester City’s preparations of the 2024/25 Premier League campaign took another step forward with a runout against Serie B outfit Palermo on Friday evening, ending in a 1-0 defeat at SMH Group Stadium. Naturally, the result was not the most important part of the exercise, but Justin felt that the scoreline could have been very different had City been more clinical in front of goal, both before and after Federico Di Francesco’s strike for the Italian side. “We actually played quite well today,” the full-back expressed following full-time in Chesterfield. “Even though we lost, it’s probably the best we’ve played in pre-season. We’re slowly building on what the Manager wants with our patterns of play. “You know what you are going to get with Italian sides. If they go 1-0 up, they’ll keep the back door shut and they are a well-drilled side. They were really hard to break down, a lot like what we faced last year as well. “We had some good chances but tonight we just couldn’t stick the ball in the back of the net. On another day, I feel like we’d come away with a win. It’s something that we’ve got to work on, but it’s early days yet and things are going well. We’ll keep working.” Several weeks of training under the new coaching team has laid the groundwork for what will be a big step up for last season’s Sky Bet Championship title-winners. It’s been an enjoyable start, according to the defender, who cannot wait to put those methods into practice in a competitive fixture. “It’s been a breath of fresh air,” the 26-year-old explained. “The new gaffer has come in with fresh ideas and wanting to build on what we’ve done last year and I’m really looking forward to the season and how we do. “One of first things that he said to us was that we had a good last season, but the Premier League is a whole different level and we’ve got to evolve on our ideas and get Premier League ready, that’s been his big mantra so far. “We’re working step by step to get there on the training pitch. We’ll go away next week and that’ll be a good chance to iron out some creases. Everyone has their own goals and wants to do as well as possible.”

Scraping the barrel

But if he scored a winner against Arsenal for example then that artificially helps Liverpool even though he's not in their team, this I think is wrong.

Perhaps we should rename the thread Steve Coopers Antics Thread judging from the comments. Never mind no Plan be it seems plenty think he has no plans at all. I'm not terribly optimistic but then I wasn't re Enzo in the PL but it's way too early to make any sort of definitive judgment.

Every game and result has a direct or indirect impact on where teams finish in the league.
