  2. Yesterday there were at least 6 blocked attempts to split the defence with a pass whether they were just poor or inadvisable passes or the defence was ultra alert I couldn’t tell but at least two of them would have given us a one on one with keeper.

  12. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/ivanhoe-line-link-leicester-not-8943393 Ivanhoe Line link to Leicester not ruled out by Government despite £271 million cost The proposed revived line is only set to run to Derby with stations at Coalville and Ashby ByLee GarrettReporter 14:24, 30 NOV 2023 Ivanhoe Line Coalville CRIL Network Rail Department for Transport Ashby Church Gresley Burton Derby Leicester The Ivanhoe Line has not served passengers since the 1960s (Image: Lee Garrett/Leicester Mercury) The Government says it has not ruled out a Coalville to Leicester link on a revived railway line. There had been concerns that the Ivanhoe Line project could fall short of its final destination, but ministers say the full route is being explored. The line, which closed down as part of the Beeching Cuts of the 1960s, is awaiting full Government approval, but the Campaign to Reopen the Ivanhoe Line (CRIL) has helped to bring the project closer to fruition. As it stands, the line is set to return on a route running from Coalville to Derby, with the first passengers touted for 2026. That sparked some concern from councillors from North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC) who feared a missing Leicester link would mean the whole district would not benefit. The council wrote to Transport Secretary, Mark Harper, to raise their concerns. Transport Minister Huw Merriman responded in a letter to the councillors, about the scheme's progress. He wrote: “The Ivanhoe Line project is currently focusing on the reinstatement of services between Derby and Coalville, which will reconnect all the main areas of population in the corridor and is likely to be deliverable the fastest. "My Department is currently considering how an extension of this service from Coalville to Leicester is best progressed. This will also examine whether additional stations will be delivered on this route section.” Councillor Michael Wyatt, the district council’s deputy leader, welcomed the news. He said: “I’m delighted the minister has replied so quickly to our concerns about the Coalville to Leicester link. Not delivering the whole line would be a missed opportunity especially when businesses are looking for greater commercial opportunities and we know the public want to travel between Coalville and Leicester.” Earlier this month, Network Rail revealed that work to make Coalville to Leicester possible would cost an additional £271 million. This money would be split into two phases, with the first spent on doubling the current single-track line between Bagworth Junction and Leicester South. The second portion would be spent on the construction of a newly-built Leicester South Station. Despite the immense cost involved, NWLDC believes that without a Leicester link, the Ivanhoe Line is not complete. In their letter to Mr Harper calling for clarity, the authority also pressed for a feasibility study into including a station at Moira alongside the already touted Coalville, Ashby and Church Gresley stations. It is a move NWLDC said would boost the district’s tourism and allow more people to use the line. A business case on the Burton to Coalville section of the Ivanhoe Line is in the hands of the Government. It will be decided at a later date.
  13. Story of Leicester Suggested for you · · The Leicestershire Agricultural Society headquarters on Saffron Lane, c.1950’s. Not too long after, this became the site of the Saffron Lane Sports Centre which opened on 6th May 1967. To complement this, the 3,100-seat Leicester Velodrome was constructed between 1968-1969 to host the track events of the 1970 World Cycling Championships. The entrance to it was where these Leicestershire Agricultural Society offices once stood. The Leicester Velodrome was the national cycling track for twenty years until Manchester opened the country's first indoor velodrome in 1994. #StoryofLeicester #Leicester
