Leicester's Hospitals · Follow Consultant Cardiologists at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust (UHL) have become the first in England to treat atrial fibrillation using a new pulsed field ablation (PFA) procedure. Consultant Cardiologists, Dr Riyaz Somani and Dr Zakariyya Vali, completed the Trust’s first successful treatment using the new Volt™ PFA System, developed by healthcare company, Abbott. The new technique uses thousands of electrical pulses every second to target the areas of the heart that trigger abnormal rhythms. This allows doctors to create safer lesions more quickly, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding cardiac tissue. As patients are placed under conscious sedation an anaesthetist isn't required, which means patients can be treated and discharged on the same day. Stuart Crossland, was the first patient to undergo the procedure at the Glenfield Hospital and he is already seeing the benefits. He said: “I was happy to be the first person to have this new treatment. Six weeks on, I’m already back running 5k, and knowing this could stop my atrial fibrillation for years to come is incredible." Dr Riyaz Somani explained the benefits of using the new procedure: “By providing a treatment option that doesn’t require general anaesthetic, we hope to deliver atrial fibrillation ablation safely, effectively and more efficiently, allowing us to treat more patients and reduce waiting lists." https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1370020075163039&set=a.628119339353120&__cft__[0]=AZYjnQFNbV08fY0XGbq1xlzYFtv1KHkRihmXk1sduyZh1pSNp3k7r_W1pIJE55cy3mjCC_UAnWdd7NmeEXu76QxpseusWdhF8rQJ2bKICFFkekU5PaACRULhKqJBms7ifd5pxXvfXRjX97IO9XgiZC27hkO1Y3zgDeOlrfD3_QqqVdaJ4pj_f5sv2HfIxvnbjotch6YsQ2EFHaoU2U4K2yIh&__tn__=EH-R -
Same as the men then.

Should have thrown her on when it was 2-1 we might have won

Doesn't really explain the difference between the two halves of the Southampton game. A bit like this guy
-
I believe the Trust has sufficient funds to pay one of the lesser lights in the team a weeks wages so that should help.
-
Maybe just keep it open for the Academy I'm sure their could still be big savings
-
I'm surprised there are not more people bemoaning the fact that the Women's league has been set up as per the PL making it inevitable that eventually the 6 will dominate it like the PL, where's the joy in following a team outside the 6 when you know it's 5000/1 that they'll ever achieve anything. It's bad enough when the men's team are so severely restricted. For me it's just a non-starter.

Assuming KP survives if we are relegated to L1 would it be possible to mothball Seagrave and move the men to share BD whilst we're in L1. the running cost's would be dramatically reduced.
-
If by that you mean instead expanding the stadium otherwise I don't see it as the build did not impact on PSR. Our downfall was the the over indulgence of our players, the overpaying of transfer fees, allowing them the luxury of leaving for nothing, treating them like honoured guests at a top hotel and most of all paying them way beyond their worth.

John Ghent Leicester Estate Agent Here’s a glimpse of everyday life in Leicester a century ago. The Clarendon Park Post Office served locals on Queens Road, while residents went about their daily routines. A vintage car, a passing cyclist, and a row of charming houses tell a story of a quieter, yet vibrant Leicester. History isn’t just in books — it’s in streets like this, where every building and every moment had a story to tell. #LeicesterHistory #LeicesterPast #QueensRoad #ClarendonPark #UKHistory #VintageLeicester #HistoricStreets #ThenAndNow #LeicesterHeritage #PostOfficeHistory -
How Much Does Seagrave Cost Per Year

Sell the KP Stadium and site play all home games at Seagrave with tickets costing £1k per match, so full of KPFC fans. -
Magical Media Tour · Follow In February 1967, Paul McCartney read a small article in the Daily Mail about a 17-year-old girl who had run away from home. That article became “She’s Leaving Home!" Paul was struck by a quote from her father: “I can’t imagine why she should run away. She has everything here.” But what happened next in the studio is just as interesting. Paul asked George Martin to arrange the strings. Martin couldn’t do it that day. So Paul hired Mike Leander instead. George Martin was deeply hurt. He still conducted the session… but he didn’t orchestrate it. And here’s something most people don’t realize... None of The Beatles played instruments on this track! Only: • Four violins • Two violas • Two cellos • Double bass • Harp Paul sang lead. John sang the answering lines. When Paul later played the finished song for Brian Wilson, he and his wife both cried. All of that came from one short newspaper article!

The first time I heard that was in the Kenco Coffee Bar on Granby Steet just down from the corner on the right as you look towards the Clock tower. As far as I can recall it was the only 'coffee' bar in Leicester and use to fill up after the pubs shut. It didn't seem to last long and I don't recall any other coffee bars for a few years now there's too many of them.

Hidden Leicester · Graham Hulme Old postcard view of a busy Humberstone Gate, possibly late 1930s. On the left, at the corner of Haymarket, is the tobacconists shop of Salmon & Gluckstein Ltd. The slightly taller building beyond the corner was the Tower Vaults and after that was the Stag & Pheasant Hotel. These buildings were demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Littlewoods building which contained a new Littlewoods store, opened by the local MP Sir Barnett Janner on 17th May 1967 (now the TK Maxx store). Further along that side was the Bell Hotel, a former Georgian coaching inn, and W. A. Lea’s department store, but all was demolished in the 1970s to make way for the building of the Haymarket Shopping Centre and a new C&A Store (now Primark). On the right of the picture, at the corner of Gallowtree Gate, is the store of Burton’s the tailor which was opened here in July 1928 (the building is now an HSBC bank branch). The store was designed by Harry Wilson of Leeds who was a chief architect to Montague Burton's vast tailoring company and he designed many of Burton's buildings around the country. The premises of the wine and spirit merchant John Allen & Co. had previously stood on the site for many years. Unmissable beyond Burton’s is the bulky edifice of Lewis’s department store. Lewis’s opened their new store here on Saturday 21st March 1936 when thousands of people gathered in Humberstone Gate to witness the event. The Lord Mayor of Leicester, Richard Hallam, declared the building open and the opening ceremony was broadcast to Lewis’s other stores across the country. Outside, a fanfare of trumpets sounded from the roof on the opening and flags unfurled from flagstaffs. Around 20,000 people were said to have poured into the new building in the first hour after the opening. The store, Lewis’s seventh, cost about a quarter of a million pounds to build and was designed by Gerald de Courcy Fraser of Liverpool, who was architect to the company. The chairman of the company, Harold Cohen, and the full Board of Directors attended the opening, including Sir Frederick Marquis, joint managing director together with Cohen. Sir Frederick Marquis was to become chairman of Lewis’s a few months later on Cohen’s death (Sir Frederick was subsequently made Earl of Woolton and in political life he was Minister of Food from 1940 in the wartime government - in this capacity he was responsible for food rationing and the famous “Woolton Pie” was named after him). A large extension was added to Lewis’s store towards Charles Street and the Manchester Working Men’s Club in the mid 1960s. The store closed down in January 1994 and was demolished, except for the 160 feet high tower, during the summer of that year. -

King’s Pre-FA Cup Fitness Update Andy King by Sam Stevens from LCFC Training Ground Share this We go into Saturday’s Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round tie at Southampton with no fresh injury concerns, as Jeremy Monga nears a return to contention. Jeremy Monga could play a part for us at Southampton on Saturday We tackle the Saints in the Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round at St. Mary’s Jannik Vestergaard is set for a spell on the sidelines Victor Kristiansen has been on the bench over recent games and could be included Jamaal Lascelles’ minutes have been monitored since joining the Club Leicester City head to St. Mary’s for a 3pm GMT kick-off on Saturday, hoping to put our name into the hat for the fifth-round draw after defeat by the same opponents in the league on Tuesday night. Monga was out for that 4-3 reverse at King Power Stadium, which saw us lose a three-goal advantage, but the Academy graduate could be included in the squad this time around. “Jez will be fine,” First Team Coach Andy King told the media on Thursday afternoon. “He trained this morning, trained really well, so fingers crossed, we’re hoping and expecting he should be available.” Jeremy Monga Jannik Vestergaard , however, is set for a spell on the sidelines: “He’s going to be out for a while. It’s obviously a shame for us, he’s played a lot for us this season, but apart from that, we’re okay. “We’ll look at it later about who fits for this game best.” Left-back Victor Kristiansen has returned to the bench over recent weeks after a period out, while other players – including defender Jamaal Lascelles’ – will see their workloads managed where necessary. “Victor was in the squad on Tuesday,” King added. “He’s one who’s been out for a while who will be back. [The longer-term injured players] are not going to be back any time soon, so nobody you haven’t seen over the last couple of weeks, apart from Victor, will be back.” Asked about Lascelles , King – who also discussed midfielder Joe Aribo – continued: “I thought he was brilliant against Birmingham in the hour or so which he gave us. “But it was only ever going to be that, just because I think that was his first competitive game since his ACL. That takes a year out of his career as it is. Then he obviously hadn’t played at Newcastle for six months either. “You’re looking at between 18 months and two years since his [last] competitive game, so it’s only fair to do right by him and not try and give him too much too soon. “We gave him the minutes against Birmingham, we’d have loved to have left him on for longer because he was having a really good game. Then it wasn’t fair to turn him around for Tuesday. He’s definitely one we have the manage. It’s the same with Joe [Aribo]. “Joe’s situation is probably a little bit different, in terms of he has been playing for Southampton a little bit more regularly. “Obviously he’s had this week where he couldn’t play in the two Southampton games, so hopefully by the time the cup game’s over, he’ll have had a week where he’s had minutes against Birmingham and now he’ll be up to speed as well.”

I was hoping there'd be a few more stories attached to 'being there' rather than simple 'I woz there'

As I understand it because there's Covenants in the Deeds placing restrictions that is believed to not allow housing as it was seemingly purchased from the YMCA and was their sports facility. I believe the YMCA still have certain access rights. This of course could all be bollocks
