Former Preston North End midfielder Matty James became a free agent at the weekend after being told his contract wouldn't be renewed. The 32-year-old is leaving Bristol City after three season as a player at Ashton Gate. He is leaving along with Andi Weimann who is currently on loan at West Brom, as well as Andy King who has announced his retirement at 35. James made 43 appearances in all competitions for the Robins this season and was captain in 25 of the 37 Championship games that he played in, scoring three goals. Liam Manning, who replaced Nigel Pearson in October however is putting his stamp down on to the squad and is allowing one of their key players to leave with an eye on signing players that fit in to his brand of football.

Foxes Trust Reform - show your support!
davieG replied to Foxes Trust Reform's topic in Leicester City Forum
I've joined and agree with many of the aims put forward on this thread. Not mentioned that I know of... I would like to see more nods to our history and the stadium to look more like the home of LCFC rather than KPFC. Whatever happened to the Museum. Outside the Stadium it's nearly all KP wth the only physical 'Icon' being the statue which I have no problem with but where are the reminders of our previous successes on the pitch and our past 'Legends' Inside the stadium the banner proudly claims King Power, 1884, LCFC Badge and hidden behind the big screens Leicester City FC. A visitor might conceive we are KPFC founded in 1884 as nowhere else of any significance do we see much of Leicester City FC- 108 replies

History of Leicestershire in Images Carl Wall · · Welford Road Prison this morning...I googled it because my wife wanted to know if it was originally a castle. Nice to know that the story of the convict breaking his legs jumping from the wall wasn't just an urban myth. "The prison was designed by Leicester county surveyor William Parsons to resemble a castle and cost £20,000. The oldest part dates from 1825, and it was opened in 1828. The gatehouse including the adjoining building to north and south and the perimeter wall are grade II listed. The prison's distinctive, red brick perimeter walls are thought to be the highest in the country, with an estimated height of 30 feet. The only known escape by a prisoner through scaling the wall was an ill-fated one, made by renowned 'safe-blower', Albert Hattersley on the evening of 18 December 1953. Hattersley made his way through a skylight in the prison's workshop and used webbing and a long pipe which he had broken from a wall in the workshop toilets to help him scale the wall. He then chose to drop by his fingertips from a part of the wall which was located above the governor's garden, in the hope that the soft earth would help break his fall. However, Hattersley suffered a broken ankle, with his right tibia protruding the skin. After several hours on the run, he was re-captured the following day." Nice to know that the story of the convict breaking his legs jumping from the wall wasn't just an urban myth. Used to play footy on the reccy as a lad and we often chatted about this. -

Yeah shame about that but I had to simplify my original poll as it was too complicated and didn't work on here. But with only 3 not renewing it doesn't seem a significant number.

!71 votes so far surely we have more than 171 ST holders on here. Please Vote.

I'm never happy to concede a goal and even more so when we've messed up. They'll always been some like that where ever we set it with the light option at least it becomes more difficult to defend against that means more goals. I think the whole offside rule has become a nonsense considering it's reason for being. The fact you can be offside in your own half because you've moved away from the goal from an offside position is crazy for a start.

FA Cup Final today Man U v Spurs. Just listening to the preview on BBC news and the talk is about how these two upstarts have managed to get to the final against the might of the BIG 3. How Spurs have grown organically in 5 years from the bottom of the league to challenge the Big 3. Self delusion abounds in the Women's game.

It is but the "all" related to Full Planning for the Stadium and Outline Planning for the rest. There's no detail for the rest just proposals and very much subject to change. A Full Planning application would need to be submitted and approved. Admittedly that's usually more of a walk through but still takes time. It also depends whether the club has finalised it's plans in detail for the rest. I'm sure they fully intended to get it up and running quickly as they could have waited until the purchase of the EON building was completed but Covid buggered everything up money disappeared, momentum was lost and Rogers happened.

But the millimetres will relate to the whole body not just a toenail surely if the debate is whether it's 99.999% of a body is enough is much more palatable.

I'd presume if you can tell it's because you can't see any light so onside.

Story of Leicester · Follow · King Street circa 1900s. Image from the Leicester & Leicestershire Record Office. The area where King Street now stands was originally developed from 1811 for residential use. Evidence of the neighbourhood that was planned can be seen in The Crescent on King Street, built as homes for business and professional people. However by the 1850s hosiery merchants started building factories and warehouses here, transforming it into a busy industrial area that lasted until the 1980s. Walk along King Street and you'll find many of the buildings still feature the names of the companies that once owned them.
