In their own words, the museum explains why they need our help if they are going to survive. Foxton Canal Museum, the beating heart of Foxton Locks and a vital guardian of Britain’s canal heritage, is under threat. A combination of rising costs, the long-term impact of COVID-19, and recent operational challenges—including lock closures that reduced visitor numbers this year—has left the museum’s future uncertain. As a consequence, income has not kept pace with escalating expenses, making sustainability increasingly difficult.

In the late 60s when I was with my brother living in digs (a form of Bed, Breakfast and evening meal) with no bath in fact we used to have to wash in kitchen and every Saturday morning we'd go here to use the slipper baths which felt like a massive luxury then, a big bath and loads of hot water.

Can't watch another defeat from a winning position.

We could do with moving Ayew, Daka, Soumare, Winks and even Pereira in January for some £s even if it's minimal as the wages we would save would be significant. Incomings then would depend on how safe we feel from relegation but the aim should be to use the academy guys and make James and Ramsey feel like they got a future here.

On the left, at the corner of Gallowtree Gate, is Salisbury's which sold ladies leather handbags and accessories. Along Eastgates can be seen British Home Stores which moved into those buildings in 1932 (previously the premises belonged to Thomas Crowe & Co. who were drapers and furnishers). In 1973 BHS moved to the recently built Haymarket shopping centre but 12 years later moved again, taking over the former Woolworths store in Gallowtree Gate and opened there in October 1985. Burton's the tailors premises is seen at the corner of Church Gate. The building was originally the Eastgates Coffee House and was constructed in 1885 to the designs of the Leicester architect Edward Burgess. It was built for the Leicester Coffee and Cocoa House Company which was formed in 1877 and was supported by the temperance movement. Several of their coffee houses were established around the city centre but the company went out of business in 1922 and Burton’s moved into the Eastgates building later that year. In the building behind the Clock Tower is Timothy White's which was a chemist's and household goods shop, later merged with Boots the chemist. Jays soft furnishings store is seen to the right.

Not sure what your point is I’m just saying the figures don’t justify equal pay as it’s the to that coughs up the biggest portion of money for the men and women irrespective of ko times

Doesn't add any weight to their argument for equal pay to the men's game. without the TV money they'd be on even less.

Hmmm Spurs connect · Follow Missed the whole game… and instead I was trapped in a box with THIS chaotic bunch Honestly, could anything scream “North London Derby pain” louder than checking your phone after full-time and seeing Arsenal 4-1 Tottenham staring back at you like a horror movie jump scare? Everyone else is screaming, celebrating, arguing… and I’m just sitting there in this box thinking, “Yep. This is exactly my luck.” Spurs decide to have a meltdown, and I’m stuck with the most distracting crew on earth instead of pacing in front of the TV like every normal fan does on derby day Still… win, lose, or get cooked 4-1, we ride again. Spurs life isn’t for the weak North London Derby chaos never disappoints — even when you miss it. #COYS #NLD #SpursFamily #FootballLife #NorthLondonForever

The football legend has revealed exactly why, in his view, the League has no right to deduct points from the club, reigniting debates about fairness, transparency, and governance in English football. Lineker’s Criticism: “The EFL Has Overstepped Its Boundaries” Speaking on social media, Lineker made his stance clear: the EFL’s decision to impose point deductions on Leicester City is unjustified and procedurally flawed. According to him, the League’s approach sets a dangerous precedent that could negatively impact not only Leicester but other clubs in the future. “Clubs, fans, and players should never bear the consequences of administrative mishandling,” Lineker stated. “Point deductions should only come after a fully transparent process, and I don’t believe the EFL has met that standard in this case.” He further questioned whether the League even has the legal authority to implement such sanctions in this instance, highlighting concerns over fairness and accountability. The Context: Leicester City’s Off-Field Struggles Leicester City, one of England’s most beloved clubs, has faced a turbulent period off the pitch. From financial scrutiny to administrative complications, the club has been under intense media and regulatory attention. The EFL’s decision to deduct points was reportedly related to alleged breaches in league regulations, though specifics remain hotly debated. For the club’s supporters, the deduction represents more than just numbers on a table—it’s a blow to the team’s morale and a disruption to months of hard work by players and coaching staff. Lineker emphasized that such decisions affect everyone involved, not just the club executives. Fan Reactions: Social Media Erupts The backlash to the EFL’s decision has been swift, with fans and pundits echoing Lineker’s criticism across social media platforms. Many argue that the League is being overly punitive, while others have raised concerns about consistency in enforcement, asking why similar cases in the past were handled differently. “Leicester deserves fair treatment,” one fan tweeted. “Point deductions should be about the rules, not punishment for administrative mistakes.” Lineker’s intervention has amplified the debate, bringing the issue into the national spotlight and prompting discussions about how disciplinary measures should be applied in professional football. What This Means for the EFL and Clubs Lineker’s comments are not just a critique—they serve as a wake-up call for the EFL and other governing bodies in English football. Transparency, fairness, and consistent enforcement of rules are essential to maintain the integrity of the sport. If the League continues down this path without addressing these concerns, it risks alienating clubs and fans alike. For Leicester City, the controversy could potentially impact their position in the Championship and even affect player morale during the season. The Bigger Picture: Governance in English Football This incident also raises broader questions about governance in English football. Who truly holds authority in disciplinary matters? How are decisions communicated to clubs and fans? And perhaps most importantly, how can fairness be ensured across all levels of competition? Lineker’s statements shine a light on these critical issues, reminding fans and officials that football isn’t just about points and trophies—it’s about respecting the rules, players, and supporters who make the sport what it is. Conclusion Gary Lineker’s public criticism of the EFL over Leicester City’s point deduction has reignited discussions about fairness, transparency, and governance in English football. While the League has yet to respond formally, the pressure is mounting to ensure that clubs are treated justly and that the integrity of the game remains intact. One thing is clear: the football world is watching, and fans will be holding the EFL accountable.

Surely if they can now punish teams across the PL and FL then they should have the same punishments for similar offences.

How come that wasn't a penalty on Foden?

Farcical seems to sum up LCFC
