  1. A museum was promised as part of the original Walkers Stadium and would be a great addition but it must not detract from the need to add to the outside. It's not as if it's difficult, a few banners, 'Face Masks' in the stand walls. a Star Walk, I'm sure there are fans who would contribute to that for their favourite players before you even think about statues. Can you confirm in your discussions they will reposition the 'brick's in the East Stand?
  2. Kinch I having nothing against it being King Power Stadium, the statue and KP plastered around the stadium it's the little amount of LCFC related stuff a lot of which has been removed since their takeover. We've lost a lot of references to LCFC, there's virtually no reference to any past or current players. The imbalance between KP and LCFC is way off.
  3. Sounds like a set up for a few suspensions/sackings.
  4. 18 Hole Golf Course. Or Polo Field.
  5. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/head-coach-analysis/amandine-miquel-leicester-city-women-202425-tactical-analysis-tactics Miquel’s Master Plan: Crafting Leicester City Women’s tactical revolution – tactical analysis Whilst Sonia Bompastor’s arrival at Chelsea Women has attracted the headlines when it comes to coaching appointments in the WSL this summer, she is not the only new name for fans to get used to, with three others also taking charge in the league, and all hoping to lead their sides to success. The most recent appointment out of the four was that of Amandine Miquel, who was confirmed as Leicester City Women’s new head coach last week after seven years at Stade de Reims Féminines. With her having a reputation for youth development, tactical adaptability and overall club growth, as well as leading her now-former team to a fourth-place finish in the Première Ligue (as the French women’s top flight is now known) last time out, there are high hopes around the King Power Stadium that she could be the one to take them up the standings after posting 10th and two 11th placed finishes in their three top-flight campaigns so far.
  6. Isn't all advertising influencer based and can cause harm, where does one start and finish with the banning?
  7. Or it's a test to see how much and how far they can go with charges for future Fox Hub and other sellable gear and media.

  9. Leicester City Football Club 1 h · Being worn for the first time tonight
  10. Leicester Memories Graham Hulme · 2 h · Old postcard of Narborough Road in Leicester. The card was posted to an address at West Bridge in Leicester in March 1910. The tower just seen in the far distance may be that of the Robert Hall Memorial Baptist Church which stands at the corner of Upperton Road. The church was built in 1900 to 1901.
  11. Is that because they're mostly Italian?
  12. Thought that might be the case. I have an Apple TV box which I can get most things on my TV. But shan't bother with this.
  13. AS I understand it the County are having to build not only their allocation but a lot of LCC's allocation as they don't have the space to do theirs. As for the local communities deciding isn't it a part of the Labour manifesto for the Government to get more involved with planning Apps to speed them up (decide in the developers favour). Granted there are a fair number of NIMBYS. It seems to me they're already quite capable of overriding local decisions.
  14. We've probably only spoken to the agent once and Juve a couple of times, I'm sure Rudders and Glover have other irons in the fire and are not focussing on one deal at a time. There's so much bullshit out there with people trying earn a few euros with every click.
  15. I'm not planning on paying and have never used Foxes Hub. Can you watch this on a TV or do you have to make do with a phone or iPad/tablet?
  16. Do we have to pay £25 for a pass to sign up for this?
  17. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-must-remember-relegation-9429649 Leicester City must remember relegation lesson if tempting £45m transfer proposed Chelsea and Enzo Maresca want a new goalkeeper and Mads Hermansen is admired, but City should not need reminding how important he could be to their survival hopes ByJordan Blackwell 07:00, 23 JUL 2024 As much research as managers do before they join new clubs, whether it be watching old matches or analysing stats, they cannot truly come to conclusions on the players they’re inheriting until they’re on the training pitch and coaching them. That’s true for Steve Cooper at Leicester City and it’s true for Enzo Maresca now at Chelsea. And after a few weeks of City’s old boss overseeing his new squad in the capital, it’s emerged that he wants a new goalkeeper. That’s troubling. For now, the line is that Maresca likes Robert Sanchez and will install him as Chelsea’s number one this season, but that he wants someone to challenge and push him. And given Mads Hermansen was his first-choice goalkeeper target at City, Maresca will no doubt be telling Chelsea to consider the Dane. When Maresca moved to Stamford Bridge, Hermansen was top of the list of City players he was predicted to poach, above Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Having a goalkeeper who is both talented and composed with the ball at his feet is integral to Maresca’s style of play and it felt, based on the quality of players he was inheriting versus those he was leaving behind, that Hermansen would give him an easy upgrade. So how much would the 24-year-old cost if Chelsea did come calling? A figure emerged over the weekend explaining that City value the Dane at £45m. For those who don’t follow the club closely, that may seem steep for a goalkeeper who cost just £6.5m a year ago, even if he did earn a spot in the Championship team of the season. But City fans may say that’s not enough. Because while there were an abundance of lessons to be learned from their last relegation, one that stands out is how important a good goalkeeper is. In short, it can be the difference between staying up and going down, and that’s worth far more than £45m. Look at the statistics for the 22-23 season, and the worst-performing keepers by the measure of post-shot expected goals – how likely shots on target faced by a keeper will find the net based on the league average – were Gavin Bazunu, Illan Meslier, Dean Henderson, and Danny Ward. Among that quartet are the number ones for the three teams who went down, Southampton and Leeds joining City in the drop zone. Henderson, meanwhile, did not get his place back at Nottingham Forest after he picked up an injury, and so only played half the season. Keylor Navas finished the campaign in goal and Forest stayed up. That looks decisive. Based on the data, City were expected to concede 55 goals from the shots on target they faced, only the sixth-worst in the division. They actually conceded 68 goals. Meanwhile at another relegation rival in Everton, the stats said they should have conceded 60 goals. With Jordan Pickford between the sticks, they let in 57. Going into this season with Hermansen corrects that issue. Because not only is he excellent with his feet, he keeps the ball out of the net too. No keeper in the Championship performed as well as Hermansen did by that metric last season, the Dane preventing six more goals than he was expected to concede. Now, City could probably sign a very good goalkeeper, and with change to spare, by selling Hermansen for £45m. But there would be no guarantees a new man would fit in at City. Good players flop at new clubs all of the time. With Hermansen, City do have guarantees. They have a year of evidence that he’s capable of dealing with the pressure of being a number one, that he works well in tandem with the defenders at the club, and that he fits in with the group as a whole. In short, keeping him is their safest bet. If a big offer came in, it would definitely be tempting, given the huge profit they could make. But to stay up, City have to show they have learned lessons from two seasons ago. Rejecting any advances for Hermansen and keeping him as their number one would be evidence that one of the problems of their relegation has been understood and addressed.

  20. Stadiums with statues of past players/managers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_association_football_statues - Since KP we could have retrieved one of Gordon Banks which was discovered in some park. It's hard to find anything else when searching.
  21. I don't think he's on a wind up in fact I know he isn't I believe it's because he's lived away from the 'scene of the crime' for a long time and hasn't noticed the gradual change of the stadium from one that had an LCFC impact rather than KP. As mentioned above and I've said this before any stranger to football viewing our stadium could not be faulted for thinking we are KPFC.
  22. Victoria Gill Science correspondent, BBC News @vic_gill Published 22 July 2024 Scientists have discovered “dark oxygen” being produced in the deep ocean, apparently by lumps of metal on the seafloor. About half the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean. But, before this discovery, it was understood that it was made by marine plants photosynthesising - something that requires sunlight. Here, at depths of 5km, where no sunlight can penetrate, the oxygen appears to be produced by naturally occurring metallic “nodules” which split seawater - H2O - into hydrogen and oxygen. Several mining companies have plans to collect these nodules, which marine scientists fear could disrupt the newly discovered process - and damage any marine life that depends on the oxygen they make. Full story here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c728ven2v9eo
  23. No, never ventured that way in my youth even if I did it was long gone. Comment on the site. Margaret Wright I'm confused. Was there a West Bridge Station and Great Central Street? They are so close together Mick Savage Margaret Wright it was the Leicester end of the Swannington railway (one of the first railways ever) and used to unload coal from the NW Leics coalfield onto the barges of the Grand Union canal, and much earlier than the Central Railway. It was later used as a passenger line too (when the West Bridge station was built). Part of the platform still exists at the end of the Rally park, where the sidings, sheds etc. used to be.
  24. As i've said before there focus seems to be entirely aim at maintaining a good face with the local community the complete opposite of how they treat the match going fans.
