Are most people gonna just be at the park or go down to town and then up to the park when they go by?

If the last parade 2 years ago is anything to go by, the ones near the start ie high street will see it pass then shoot through the back streets to get further up, stood outside the highcross last time, as soon as it went around the clock tower, everyone ran through the market to get up to the square.

This time the run is a fair bit longer!

If the weather is decent I'm going to sack work off a couple of hours early, grab a few red stripes and walk up to the park - sit in the sun, sink a few beers and wait for the bus to come to me.

 

**** running about after it in the city centre.

Tens of thousands of Leicester City fans will be on the streets to cheer on their Premier Leagueicon1.pngwinning heroes during Monday's victory parade.

But it seems the city's rival Nottingham has got in on a bit of the action too.

 

The open-top buses that will transport the players and the Premier Leagueicon1.png trophy from Jubilee Square, around the city centre and up London Road to Victoria Park was actually decorated in Nottingham.

Blueprint Notts, based in Vale Road, in Colwick, was handed the job of printing and covering the Foxes' four double decker buses.

Four members of staff for the companyicon1.png have worked 14 hours on each bus for four days to prepare them.

 

Managing director of the company, Richard Monk, said the firm got the contract after they did a similar job in 2014 for the club for the Championship winners' parade.

He said: "I hadn't even thought about it, but two weeks ago we got the phone call because we had shown we could do the job and be reliable.

"I know there were other companies begging to do the job and some for next to nothing, so we are proud they came to us."

"This is the best part of the job," Richard added.
