Still a bit hit and miss, I've done that even the bacon sarnies and they have been fine but there's been other jobs where I've done similar and they've been awful. But still your best chance of getting a decent job done.

i don't understand that.

Don't use email as they never answer them. I've sent 3 out last week to roofers not had one replay. Many don't answer their phones either. I just assume they are so busy they're not looking for any more jobs. I had lawn laid and the roof/gutters/soffits done and they were both crap jobs. The lawn guy didn't clear and prepare before laying the lawn which also looks like field grass so weeds and old plants/flowers are coming through. The roof guy failed to deliver my 2 year warranty and can't be contacted.

The 21-year-old defensive midfielder is a product of the Leicester academy system and he represented England at youth levels as well. During his early days he attracted interest from Germany, but he decided to ignore the prospect of a move and signed a professional contract with the Foxes. Leicester sanctioned a season-long loan for Braybrooke to League Two outfit Newport County in the summer and he has featured regularly for them since joining. Clarke was impressed with Braybrooke’s performance for Newport against Walsall recently and pointed out that the Leicester star won the ball back 14 times, while creating three chances in the game, which they lost 4-2. He is of the view that Braybrooke is a player with pedigree who did not receive many chances in at Leicester and pointed out that he is a good signing for Newport. “A central midfielder on loan from Leicester City, Sammy Braybrooke, won possession back 14 times for Newport; 14 times he won possession back and the next closest Newport team-mate won it three times”, Clarke said on What The EFL (44:00). Club Years Leicester City 2022- Dundee (loan) 2024-2025 Newport County (loan) 2025- Sammy Baybrooke’s career history “He also made three chances and on top of those regains, he won five of six tackles, so he is good. “He is a former England youth international, so he is sort of a young player with pedigree. “He sort of has not had many opportunities at Leicester, but clearly that is a good pickup.” Braybrooke has made only one appearance for Leicester’s senior team and last season joined Dundee on loan, but his stay in Scotland was cut short due to a lack of opportunities in the first team. The midfielder will be keen on making his mark in League Two for Newport before he returns to Leicester after the expiry of his loan. Born in Leicester and a Foxes youth product, Braybrooke will be desperate for another chance to impress at the King Power in the future.

I've recently lived in Wigston Fields opposite Knighton Park and Wigston Magna behind St Wolstons Church both areas seemed pretty decent and I suspect as I said above most are owned by those living in them. Parts of South Wigston can look a bit grim.

As long as the players try their best and play to their ability level that's all they can do. If you feel the need to blame, not abuse then maybe it should be directed at whoever signed them. Perhaps if the club was more open about what it's trying to achieve and how that is being managed people would be more understanding.

You can see that in some of the Council Estates like New Parks which when I lived in Glenfield 10 years ago looked predominately white. Part of the problem is unless you own the house there's no incentive to maintain or keep it tidy externally. When people first moved into those council estates from the terrace slums with no toilets they were proud of them and the Councils maintained them.

The Doog Another mystery sale!

I'm not very familiar with this area but I'm sure some of you are. Story of Leicester What an amazing photo we have to share with you today - Braunstone Village, unknown date. This photo was taken just up from where Balmoral Drive meets Braunstone Lane - the house in the photo is still there today but looks different with the brickwork and wooden beams exposed rather then plastered and whitewashed as in this image. The history of Braunstone stretches back over 1000 years. The settlement of is most likely Saxon in origin, established around the late 8th or early 9th century AD, as a ‘daughter’ settlement of Glenfield. It is first mentioned in the Domesday Survey, where it was referred to as 'Brantestone' meaning 'the place where Brant settled'. #StoryofLeicester

Not the City but the County that there leaving for. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/grew-up-charity-street-leicestershire-10644314#comments-wrapper I grew up in 'Charity Street' Leicestershire town and I still think it's one of the best places to live Very few places are thriving at the moment but Hinckley certainly isn't getting any worse Sam Dimmer East Midlands Head of Brand 05:00, 17 Nov 2025 Sam Dimmer says the Leicestershire town still has a huge amount to offer, despite the changes to the high street This year, we're visiting towns across Leicestershire in the run-up to Christmas to find out how things are going and what their hopes are for 2026. Today, we've been to Hinckley, a town that has been criticised in the past for being full of charity shops. Hinckley resident and Leicestershire Live writer Sam Dimmer says the town still has a huge amount to offer, despite the changes to the high street. It's tough to be too positive about the place you live, it seems, right now. Everyone appears determined to paint their home town as a declining dump, being overtaken by neighbours and with shops shutting left, right and centre. A month ago, Leicestershire Live went out to speak to people in Hinckley, with many saying the High Street is dying. I don't think they're right at all. Castle Street isn't dying; it's evolving, and it has been evolving for years. Leicester businesses left feeling ‘helpless’ due to nuisance road users Cars left trapped due to flooding under A50 bridge as Storm Claudia disruption continues Big retailers aren't just closing in Hinckley, they're shutting everywhere, because people don't shop in towns and cities like they used to. It's a bit snobbish to lament the rise of charity shops when so many people use them as a totally reasonable alternative to buying everything new. Second-hand is greener, cheaper and usually absolutely fine. Also, it's Hinckley; it's not as if Waitrose is opening up anytime soon. Many of the independent shops are exceptional too. Much of Hinckley's success is built on places like Marmalade Meringue and others at the top of Castle Street. In fact, if you asked most people what they actually wanted in the town, I suspect they'd say places that haven't existed for decades or would never open here because we're a moderately sized town and not a giant city. Yes, I would also like Uniqlo and Primark to open in Hinckley, but I'm not massively hopeful, and I'm not going to blame the council for it when they turn down my request. Realistically (a key word when having any discussion like this), what do you want in a Leicestershire town? A good leisure centre? Got it. A cinema? For the time being, at least, got it. Decent pubs, bars, restaurants, and cafes? Got it in spades. A decent market? Yep, we have a very decent one, thank you very much indeed. Even the schools are good too - I was a student at John Cleveland College when Ofsted was rumoured to be seriously considering shutting it, and things are so much better now. Admittedly, it couldn't have got much worse, but still, celebrate the small victories. Yes, the roads are awful, I'm fully aware, and someone desperately needs to find a way to end the daily gridlock for those brave enough to leave the M69 at Burbage, but that will cost a tremendous amount. Also, one of the reasons traffic is so bad is that we're building loads of houses because it's a brilliant place to live, surrounded by great places you can easily visit. I appreciate that positivity is in short supply at the moment, but Hinckley remains a great place. And if anyone is in any doubt, just take a short drive to Nuneaton. It could be so very much worse. Comments ma mankytwonk4 hrs ago Hinckley is no different to most towns, people dropping litter, people drinking and taking drugs on the street, plenty of begging and spitting.

It still makes me laugh when I read the blurb for the new housing estates, stating great public transport, doctors surgeries and schools, good shopping facilities, where do they get that idea from . Hinckley do put on some good events. The council don’t act quick enough when things go wrong, streets aren’t cleaned, drains are blocked etc etc. Moved to Burbage 15 years ago and it’s declined in the last five years. reply 3 0 share report Comment by nigelfanboy. ni nigelfanboy55 min ago Nobody pronounces Burbage like that, another reporter that claims to be local or he would know this 🙄 reply 2 1 share report Comment by manmadetwo. ma manmadetwo10 min ago Cities and towns have gone. reply 1 0 share report

The problem is not with the people we sold it's the ones we didn't sell and those we gave extended contracts too.

True but with time wont it get more accurate?

Having Women’s football team make them look good even the training ground I suspect is still there because it’s hard to sell with the covenants in it.

Leicester City's Under-18s lost to Birmingham City last time out in U18 Premier League South Coach Adam Barradell analysed recent results and what he hopes to achieve in the coming weeks The young Foxes return to Premier League Cup action away at Aston Villa next Saturday morning League duties resume the following Saturday, hosting West Bromwich Albion in Seagrave A 2-0 defeat at home to Birmingham City last weekend was a third consecutive reverse in U18 Premier League South, though Leicester remain in a good position in the league standings, sitting sixth, only three points behind leaders Crystal Palace, having won five and lost four of the opening nine matches. The Foxes youngsters are back at LCFC Training Ground at the end of the month, hosting West Bromwich Albion in our next league encounter on Saturday 29 November (11am kick-off). The Under-18s’ last victory came against Brighton in Seagrave last month. The Under-18s’ last victory came against Brighton in Seagrave last month. “It was a game that we wanted to do well in and expected to do well in having started the league really well this season,” the coach reflected after the Birmingham loss in Seagrave. “Coming off the back of a defeat to Crystal Palace, we wanted to get back to the level we were at the previous couple of games. “Unfortunately, we conceded two sloppy goals, which has not been like us this season at all. We probably lost the game in the first half by conceding those early goals. Although our performance level was better in the second half, it made it really difficult. “We’ve defended really well and been a real attacking threat and obviously we’re now looking to get back to that level, after a difficult couple of results, in the next league game.” Several Under-18s have received recognition already this term in the form of call-ups to the Development Squad, earning the right to test themselves with the older group. That, in turn, presents a chance for younger talents to step up and take their chance. Lorenz Hutchinson captained the side prior to being selected for the Under-21s. Lorenz Hutchinson captained the side prior to being selected for the Under-21s. Barradell continued: “The challenge we’ve got is that we’ve been playing to a really high level at the start of the season and, with that, individuals get opportunities to move up to the Under-21s. I’m delighted with the individuals who have done well. “You look at Lorenz Hutchinson, he’s had a fantastic start to the league campaign and certainly deserved his opportunity in the Under-21s. That’s what we’re about, we want players moving through the pathway. “Riley Carr is another one who has been a real threat in the first five or six games in the league and rightly deserved this start for the Under-21s. We want the Under-18s to make an impact in the Development Squad. “The next players who come into the Under-18s have to keep the standard which has been set and raise the bar even further. What we need now is players who have not been playing and have come into the side, to take their opportunities and do well.” It’s Aston Villa up next after the international break. It’s Aston Villa up next after the international break. The Premier League Cup group stage will conclude next weekend and City remain in the hunt for a place in the knockout stages ahead of travelling to Aston Villa on Saturday 22 November (11am kick-off). The Villans, winning both of their matches in the competition, sit at the summit of Group B, with Leicester three points behind, though the Foxes did come out on top in the last meeting between the pair. “We beat Liverpool in our last cup game and it gives us a chance to qualify,” he explained. “We’ve played Aston Villa in the league and won 4-0 but we expect it to be a tough game. “We’ve also beaten them before across there and hopefully we can do that again, but it’s always difficult going over to Bodymoor Heath and playing there.” All times GMT.

Can we have an Interim Football Team?

We're continually bypassed when it comes to government approved investment with the electrification of the Midland Mainline and the dismissing of the Ivanhoe Line. The moving of the Civil Service departments to the regions also gave us a miss. Nottingham got the Tax office.

Well that is game over not that we were ever really in it

We’re so far behind even some decent investment would only achieve mid table obscurity.

Ever since the first goal Brighton have upped their game and we’ve just fallen away dramatically somewhat reminiscent of the men’s team. Club culture?

How easy do they give the ball away
