Doesn't help too much to get to the General on the Hopper you have to go via Glenfield either on the wat there or on the way back to where every you started it takes ages. From Hinckley it would be easier to get the bus into the Haymarket and then a bus out to the General. Trouble is the bus from Hinckley is so unreliable having started either in Nuneaton or Coventry . I looked at all the options even a taxi, which is £80 return and ended up driving and parking away from the General Hospital and walking the last stretch.

That would be terrible for people in the West and North West of the City. I've recently had to go to the General from Hinckley in busy times it's a 50 min car journey there and back plus parking you're talking 2 hours. I doubt Glenfield is a lot better. Where as the Royal I can drive to the P&R at Enderby 20mins and use the P&R 20 mins, totally reliable and it drops me off right out side the hospital.

In the late 1800s, Freeman, Hardy & Willis became one of the largest boot and shoe retailers on the planet — with hundreds of branches across Britain. Their headquarters stood proudly on Rutland Street, right in the heart of Leicester’s thriving shoe industry. At its peak, the city wasn’t just famous for hosiery — it was known worldwide for footwear craftsmanship. Today the factories are gone, but the story remains stitched into Leicester’s industrial heritage. Did anyone in your family work in Leicester’s shoe factories? I remember there being at least 6 shoe shops on Granby St / Gallowtree Gate. #Leicester #IndustrialHistory #BootsAndShoes #LeicesterHeritage

https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-leaves-leicester-city-permanently-deal-helps-championship-club-raise-funds/ Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss will leave the Championship club to join VfB Stuttgart on a permanent transfer. That’s brought by Bild, who cover the latest on the Leicester City player’s future. The attacking midfielder joined the Foxes from KRC Genk for a reported fee of £21m [€24.3m] in August 2024. Following Leicester City’s relegation from the Premier League, he left them to join Stuttgart on loan last summer in August 2024. The Bundesliga side have a conditional obligation to make his stay permanent, as part of the loan deal. Permanent Leicester City exit In December, the Morocco international revealed both Crystal Palace and Newcastle United had been showing interest in him. However, the Championship side refused to let him join another English club. This allowed Stuttgart to swoop in for him on a temporary deal, and now will make his stay permanent. El Khannouss has played 1,954 minutes from 30 matches [18 in the Bundesliga] in all competitions for Stuttgart, scoring eight goals and contributing four assists. Bild state the terms needed to make his stay permanent has been achieved, after he made certain number of appearances. In other words, the mandatory purchase obligation is now automatically ‘triggered’. The report insist these conditions weren’t difficult to fulfil. Since it is now in effect, the German club will have to pay a €18m fee to Gary Rowett’s side. The fee could rise further with bonuses, and the English club have also secured a sell-on clause. Financial benefit for Leicester City Leicester City El Khannouss will sign a contract until 2030. That deal includes a salary of €3m, with it not made clear that’s before or after tax. Stuttgart have already paid €3.5m as a loan fee to the Championship side. With his sale, the latter will earn an additional €18m, taking the overall deal to €21.5m so far. This allows Leicester City to recoup the majority of the fee invested to buy the Moroccan two years ago. The Foxes are now 21st in the table and are going through financial struggles. At this difficult time, the money from El Khannouss’ sale to Stuttgart will be a welcome boost for Leicester City. Even if the contractual agreements state the entirety of the money isn’t due yet, or first payment delayed until summer, the Championship clubs will be able to borrow against it.

For me the big difference is he's now allowed to support attacks by getting forward like he used to under Rodgers like in the FA Cup win. This takes the focus off his defensive work which he's now having to do less of as we're not spending most of the game passing the ball around at the back and then losing it before we manage to get forward with it. He's a better player as a semi-wing back. It also helps that Mav sems to have been told to help out the defence more and last night was the most effort I've seen him put in.

Never heard of this mag

So good even Bristol City love him

There's a few that do that Ricardo, Mav, Bobby, Daka, Fats It's so much more noticeable and threatening to the team when it's a CB with everyone is up field or on their way.

Yeah I found that don't try and edit it either.

Because it included the word stream.

Back to how he was under Covid and the Cup Final, I'm inclined to believe that past managers have told him to stay in our half.

Certain words like 'stream' PS Hence my post had to be approved.

I'm sure but even in the 50s that ranking was still being banded about. It was the loss of all the industry in the 60s/70s, which was quite varied and world renowned that had a devastating affect.

Where did it all go wrong? Joanne Vigor-Mungovin - Author Hidden Leicester · Follow In an article published on March 10, 1936, the Daily Telegraph referred to Leicester as "a progressive city," and cited statistics from the League of Nations Bureau of Statistics, which ranked it as the second most prosperous city in the world. So how did it earn this accolade? According to the United Nations, Leicester was praised for its positive employment prospects, quality education, modern facilities, beautiful surroundings, and the progressive mindset of its residents as the factors that contributed to its favourable evaluation. It is estimated that approximately 1,000 unique trades were operating in the bustling city of Leicester during this time period. Notably, the production of knitwear and shoes, which were among the leading industries responsible for maintaining low unemployment rates within the city. Additionally, it is worth noting that Leicester had a pioneering record of promoting positive industrial relations, setting an example for other cities to follow. These industries also restricted unpleasant emissions by increasing the use of gas in manufacturing, making Leicester ‘a healthy place to live and do business’. Leicester was one of the healthiest cities due to new housing and slum clearance, and the mortality rate of 12.4 per 1,000 and 64 per 1,000 for infants was well below the national UK average of 13.1 and 77 respectively. It was also a ‘clean, bright city’, with pleasant residential areas. Its streets were free of litter, neat, well lit and provided ample transport, seven secondary schools, colleges of art and technology, a university college and a police headquarters that was ‘believed to be the most up to date in the country' – all paid for by some of the lowest rates in the country.

Cut out the extra 30mins which is a big advantage to the top clubs with their fitness and squad strength, although I think the should drop it anyway just go straight to penalties.

and Aluka to the bench.

Places where people can socialise, other than coffee shops places to be entertained or to take part social activities. Bowling Alleys, Snooker halls, small theatre/cabaret venues, even bingo halls. but not massive places smaller or medium size snug and secure. The structure of the city means most people find it easier to get into the city centre by public transport than across or around the outer areas. It's a real shame the original plan to take the London Road + Waterloo Way to St Georges Way around the back of the station along Conduit St enabling a straight forward pedestrian only link from the station to Granby St and hence the City centre, it could have been a traffic free walk from the station to the Highcross.

We can't win at home they're better away certainly not a nailed on win, well none of games are. Leicester City are back at home on Tuesday (19:45 GMT) hoping for a first Championship win in 11 attempts. The Foxes have drawn three of their opening four games under new head coach Gary Rowett. Bristol City will be happier away from home after suffering an eighth home defeat of the season to leaders Coventry City on Saturday and now have as many points on the road as they do at Ashton Gate (25). Leicester have won three of their past five league games against Bristol City, though are winless in the past two meetings (D1 L1). Bristol City have won just two of their past 20 away league games against Leicester (D7 L11), though these victories have come across their past five visits. Leicester have lost each of their past four home league games - they have never lost five in a row outside of the top-flight before. Bristol City have won two of their past three away league games, and are looking to win consecutively on the road for the first time since November 2024. Bristol City's Scott Twine has been involved in 10 goals in 14 away starts in the Championship this season, scoring five and assisting five.
