So go to the shop, go down Kate Street at the side of the shop to the back and you will see it. Anything you can do to protect it once it's done?

That's good to know - I'd been sent home from work early because I wasn't well and was starting to think the whole thing was a feverish dream. I feel a lot better now and apparently Leicester City have actually won the Premier League and it wasn't just a vision caused by me necking to many Lemsip Max tablets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 11 May 2016 Share Posted 11 May 2016 Leicester City mural can go ahead thanks to hotel waiving £1,200 bill for artist By Tom_Mack | Posted: May 11, 2016 Leicester City mural can go ahead thanks to hotel waiving £1,200 bill for artist Comments (2) A city hotel has offered mural artist Richard Wilson a room for free for more than two weeks so he can complete his LCFC artwork. Thousands of city fans have visited the mural in Kate Street, behind the Marks Electrical store in Glenfield Road, Leicester, to be photographed with it, as well as Claudio Ranieri and snooker champion Mark Selby. QPR fan Richard, who lives in London, decided a few weeks ago to use his own time and money to come and paint the mural for the people of Leicester after being inspired by the football team's amazing rise to the top. At first it was just a picture of manager Claudio Ranieri and an LCFC flag but after Leicester won the Premier League, Richard returned to add the word "champions" to the mural. Richard, who is receiving no funding for his work, had hoped to add 11 players to the mural but he did not think he could afford to stay in Leicester for the time it would take to complete it. Luckily the Holiday Inn Express next to the King Power Stadium offered him a room for free until up to May 27 to make sure he is able to complete the mural for the people of Leicester. General manager Denise Jennings said: "There's been a fantastic buzz around Leicester since City won the Premier League. "We think it's great what Richard is doing and we were very happy to support him."

"But the Holiday Inn Express is letting me stay for free, which would have cost me about £1,200 usually, so that means I can really do this."

Hopefully they'll get hung by the bronze statue of Ranieri the club will erect with a plaque reading 'TRAITOR' on his chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
