Image credit: University of Leicester Special Collections The area known as ‘The Lanes’ dates back to medieval Leicester with the street pattern remaining much the same for many centuries. Roughly following the ancient Roman road that connected the west and east gates of the town the street has had various names over the years but by 1587 it was known as Silver Street. The name probably comes from the silversmiths that had set up shop in the area. Recognise the building to the left ‘A. Dunkley Tea & Coffee Confectioner’? This is now ‘The Wardrobe’, part of the Royal Arcade that links through to High Street. Learn more at: https://storyofleicester.info/.../silver-street-and-the.../

THe Foxes Trust are already recognised as the LCFC fan's representatives by the Football Supporters' Association (FSA) and the FSA are likely to be the go to group by the new Independent Football Body. It's ready made to have extra 'powers' given to it. It just needs more fans to join to make it stronger and more influential to pressure the club into opening up and change.

As I understand it the PL league needs 14 teams to approve any changes, my question is how have the 'have nots' allowed this to happen?. LCFC can be charged with its contribution of guilt by voting for overseas revenues to be split unevenly with the Greedy 6 getting the lion's share, maybe they had illusions of grandeur Any changes need to be made within.

Premier League statement 21 Mar 2024 https://www.premierleague.com/news/3938339 The Premier League has today referred Leicester City FC to an independent Commission for an alleged breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs) and for failing to submit their audited financial accounts to the League. The alleged breach relates to the assessment period ending Season 2022/23, when the club was a member of the Premier League. Leicester City were relegated to the EFL Championship prior to the introduction of the Premier League’s new Standard Directions, which prescribe a timeline within which PSR cases should be heard. Therefore, the proceedings will be conducted in accordance with a timetable to be set by the independent Commission, and its final decision will be published on the Premier League’s website. Notes Profitability and Sustainability Rules (see Premier League Handbook Section E) - All Premier League clubs are assessed for their compliance with the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs) each year. - Compliance is assessed by reference to the club’s PSR Calculation, which is the aggregate of its Adjusted Earnings Before Tax for the relevant assessment period. - A club’s Adjusted Earnings Before Tax figure for each season takes account of its profit or loss after depreciation and interest, but before tax, and then applies a series of "add backs"  - These "add backs" are costs that the Premier League and its clubs recognise to be in the general interest of the club and football, for example investment in infrastructure, community, women’s football, youth development and depreciation of tangible fixed assets Exceptionally, in relation to years 2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22 COVID-19 costs were also permitted to be included as "add backs". - Ordinarily, a club’s PSR Calculation is the aggregate of its Adjusted Earnings Before Tax over a three-year period. Following amendments made to the PSRs during COVID-19, the relevant figures for Seasons 2019/20 and 2020/21 are now averaged. In the present case, therefore, the relevant period includes Seasons 2022/2023, 2021/2022, and the average Adjusted Earnings Before Tax for Seasons 2020/2021 and 2019/20. - A club will be in breach of the PSRs if its PSR Calculation over the relevant period results in a loss in excess of £105 million (with that threshold reduced by £22 million for each season that a club has been in the Championship during the relevant period). - At the 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM), Clubs agreed to bring forward the date for the submission of audited Annual Accounts for Clubs forecasting a loss to 31 December (in accordance to Rule E.50.2). - Clubs agreed to introduce Standard Directions for PSR cases (Appendix 1 to the Rules) that seek to ensure such cases are resolved in the same season the complaint is issued, with any sanction handed down prior to the subsequent Annual General Meeting. (Appendix 1 page 535). - Leicester City were relegated to the EFL Championship before the Premier League’s new Standard Directions, which prescribe a timeline within which PSR cases should be heard, came into force. Therefore, the proceedings will be conducted in accordance with a timetable to be set by the independent Commission. Premier League investigations and independent Commissions  - The Premier League Board has the power to investigate any suspected or alleged breach of Premier League Rules  - There are a number of options available to the Board where it suspects or alleges a breach of the Rules. For PSR cases, the matter will be handed to an independent Commission to determine whether there is a breach and, if so, what the sanction should be. - The League has access to an independent Judicial Panel, comprising a number of legal, financial and other experts. Members of the Judicial Panel are appointed, in accordance with Premier League Rules W.19, W.20 and W.26, by its independent Chair, Murray Rosen KC, an experienced barrister. It is the Chair who selects members of the Judicial Panel to sit on Commissions, which are independent of the Premier League and its clubs. - All proceedings before an independent Commission are confidential and heard in private. This includes the date and location which can’t be announced in advance. - There are a range of sanctions available to the independent Commission which include fines, points deductions and other sporting sanctions . - Under Premier League Rule W.82.2, at the conclusion of proceedings, an independent Commission’s final decision will be made public via the Premier League’s website . - A party to the proceedings which wishes to challenge a decision of the Commission may to do so under Section W of the Premier League Rules. - The Appeal Board is also appointed by Mr Murray Rosen KC and must have three members, one of whom should have held judicial office, and would sit as the chair of the Appeal Board. - The proceedings of the Appeal Board are also confidential and heard in private. - The Appeal Board has wide discretion in respect of the appeal, and may allow it, dismiss it, or make any order that it deems fit (including varying the order of Commission). - For further information on the disciplinary process, please see Section W of the Premier League Handbook.

https://www.lcfc.com/news/3938901/lcfc-statement--21-march-2024 Leicester City is surprised at the actions the Premier League has taken today. The Club is extremely disappointed that the Premier League has chosen to charge LCFC now, despite the Club’s efforts to engage constructively with the Premier League in relation to the matters that are the subject of this charge, even though LCFC is not currently a Premier League club. LCFC remains willing and eager to engage constructively with the Premier League and the EFL to seek the proper resolution of any potential charges, by the right bodies, and at the right time. The Club continues to take careful advice about its position and, if necessary, will continue to defend itself from any unlawful acts by the football authorities, should they seek to exercise jurisdiction where they cannot do so, as occurred earlier this year. LCFC has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the P&S rules through its operating model over a considerable period, achieving compliance while pursuing sporting ambitions that are entirely credible given the consistent success that the Club has achieved in that time, both domestically and in European competition. As we continue to represent the Club’s position, we will continue to fight for the right of all clubs to pursue their ambitions, particularly where these have been reasonably and fairly established through sustained sporting achievement. The Club thanks its supporters for their understanding in this matter and for their continued support for our team, whose success on the pitch during the final weeks of the season remains our primary focus.

When I visited the Richard III exhibit I wrote in the visitors book What about our Roman Heritage. Plenty buried under the Highcross and Holiday Inn. Why could some of it be exposed in the Highcross as feature instead of buried. No imagination or ambition.. Englands Ist Environment City, how long did that last?

That or the one on Hinckley Road but we needed a City Centre one so people could get there by taking one bus. Besides I think they are both leisure pools.

Filbert St in the background

Exactly "very little done to follow through with better or even any replacements" Same with St Margarets Baths, although that was a cock up with wrong length of pool for serious competition or training.

There's one for Filbert St and they're all over the City mostly where we've demolished something or left it to fall down.

Sounds like an LCC strapline so much demolition approved very little done to follow through with better or even any replacements

They look pleased.

or how far they've risen if it's a Wembley Cup Final

Born and Raised in Leicester · Follow · Glenfield Tunnel is one of the world’s first steam railway tunnels and is just over one mile long. It was designed by the famous railway engineer George Stephenson and built between 1829–32 under the supervision of his son Robert It forms part of the Leicester & Swannington railway network, one of the first to be built in the world. The railway was designed to bring coal from the North West Leicestershire coalfields into Leicester, to then be trans-shipped to the canal for distribution all over the country. The first obstacle to this major venture proved to be the ridge extending from Gilroes to Glenfield village which required a tunnel a mile long. The project to build this tunnel really tested its engineers, involving techniques that were then virtually untried. Faulty trial drillings suggested the bore would be through stone and clay, when, in fact, much of the bore would turn out to be in running sand. This necessitated a great deal more work and expense. The tunnel had to be lined throughout in brickwork between 14” and 18” thick, backed by a “wooden shell” where running sand was encountered. Bricks for the lining, after dissatisfaction with the original supplier, were made in an on-site kiln. Owing to the problems encountered, the tunnel construction ran well over the proposed budget of £10,000, finally costing £17,326 12s 2½d. which is well over a million pounds in today money. However, the finished job was straight and level and was in use for over 130 years. The first section of the tunnel was officially opened on 17th July 1832 and was marked by a special train for the Leicester and Swannington directors and 300 guests. Hauling it was “Comet” a locomotive provided by Robert Stephenson. Glenfield’s tight clearances required lower, narrower carriages with bars over the windows to prevent decapitation. It is even rumoured that at the opening the engine’s funnel struck the tunnels roof, showering soot over those in open carriages. When the railway closed in the 1960s, the redundant tunnel was bought by Leicester City Council for £5. Early inspections in 2000 however revealed serious flaws in the fabric of the tunnel which would necessitate reinforcement of the structure. The tunnel is not very far underground and it must be remembered that there were no buildings above it in 1832. Now, however, the area is built-up over its whole length and the risk of tunnel collapse (as had happened elsewhere), was unthinkable. A series of reinforced concrete hoops had to be designed and installed in the tunnel at a cost of £500,000 around 2007-

I've worked in a few places where 'your' boss could hire and fire without recourse to a higher level provided they follow the set procedures and budget. I still think this is different as the team is more than those selected to play so careers can be killed through more subtle means.

Story of Leicester · Follow· #ThrowbackThursday! Here’s an interesting shot of Filbert Street in 1971, looking down onto the back yards of the terrace houses that backed onto Leicester City's home ground. Do you think the people who lived in these houses got free season tickets? Did you live there or know anyone who did? #StoryofLeicester Haha if we were still there they wouldn't even be allowed to buy tickets on a match day.
