I doubt that's the sort of welcome the Council had in mind, but I expect our European cousins are cool with that sort of thing I did watch the show as a kid....but should we be looking into a undercurrent of your tendacies given "Bellend Sebastian" (which makes me laugh every time I see it) and you spotting 'a blokes meat and two veg' at London Road Railway Station?
Foxes1 Posted 22 September 2016 Posted 22 September 2016 Will the police gather them all together and take them to the ground in convoy like Bruges. Also will the police stop all the taxis / buses taking people to the ground and if they are Portugese / Belgian / Danish take them off and make them walk like they did in Bruges and check peoples tickets 4 times like Bruges will be interesting to see.

Most had started around the Highcross through the lanes and up New walk. Ok we all know there better,prettier places but it aint bad! Jesus Christ I mean I've not been to Glasgow but London and Manchester its like the residents of Cocytus and malebolge taking a walk along the river stix and saying "it's alright round here you know" manchester in particular I cannot stand and I've spent more than my fair share of time there. The weather system alone is enough to drive you to depression. London might be for some but I wouldn't live there for all the tea in China. but yeah Leicesters ok it's just never going to be a big tourist destination.
ScouseFox Posted 23 September 2016 Posted 23 September 2016 bit gutted we didn't get someone like napoli or cska, would have paid to see some volunteers handing out maps of leicester and pointing 800 Napoli ultras armed with knives and fireworks in the direction of the museum or the cathedral for a spot of sight seeing

Well, that's an exaggeration but I don't hate everywhere. Brighton hands down winner in England for me in terms of Citys. I don't mind Leicester you're just never going to jet off there for a weekend away ahead of Bruge or Copenhagen are you I'm sure we get a few visitors I just don't think it's ever going to make the city a lot of money and therefore if I was a Leicester resident, would be concerned about flooding too much money into it.

Manwell Pablo Posted 23 September 2016 Posted 23 September 2016 3 minutes ago, norwichfox said: Which part is the Cathedral in? Don't believe they have one. Not a requirement anymore, I think it's a university and a population of a certain size or a cathedral these days. Reading is also a city these days I don't think that has a cathedral either. EDIT: I'm talking rubbish Reading isn't a city there are plenty with no catherdral now though.

Not checked the authenticity of this statement but : UK cities without cathedrals include: Bath, Cambridge, Hull, Lancaster, Newport,Nottingham, Plymouth, Salford, Southampton, Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton. I think you may be right about Nottingham - it does have a Cathedral, but it is a catholic cathedral so doesn't count in the "A City needs a Cathedral" debate. Same for Cambridge I think. But the others in the list do not have a cathedral of any description Addionally there are 13 towns which have an anglican catherdral but do not have city status

Wymsey Posted 23 September 2016 Posted 23 September 2016 Wouldn't be surprised if visiting fans feel an anti-climax when they travel on the London Road.
Guest Lako42 Posted 23 September 2016 Posted 23 September 2016 Just to let you know, they absolutely loved it. The history was insane to them, they loved the fact it was off the beaten track and they thought the old buildings were truly beautiful. Braggy Park this evening was a highlight, they loved it. They also loved the pint in the wheatsheaf in woodhouse eves, proper old fashioned English pub. Taking my mate to the game tomorrow, he'll be shouting for us having seen the Leicester exhibition in the New Walk museum. Yep, they love Leicestershire.
Voll Blau Posted 13 October 2016 Posted 13 October 2016 Quote Preparations are underway to welcome Danish football fans to Leicester for next week's Champions League match. Leicester City are looking to maintain their 100 per cent record in the group phase when FC Copenhagen visit the King Power Stadium on Tuesday. The Danish champions are expected to bring some 1,600 supporters for the match and arrangements are in place to make them feel looked after as Porto fans were last month. The city council is embracing the concept of 'hygge' - a word used by the Danes to describe an ambience that's warm, cosy and sociable - and encouraging bars to do the same. The Après Lounge bar in High Street will provide, with its wood-panelled walls, flickering candles and mulled wine, will be stocking up on Danish beer. The Cosy Club, in Highcross Street – will rename itself the 'Hygge Club' for the day. Beyond the bars, the council will be setting up another pre-matchfan zone in Jubilee Square for supporters of both sides. City centre director Sarah Harrison said: "We're very much looking forward to welcoming the FC Copenhagen fans to Leicester and we're keen to make them feel at home. "The Danes are amongst the happiest people in Europe, and their enthusiasm for 'hygge' may have something to do with it. "While we're not able to offer candlelight and a crackling fire in every bar, what I hope we can offer is a warm welcome to our city, and an opportunity for the fans to create their own 'hyggelig' moments with both local people and their fellow fans." FC Copenhagen fans arriving by train will be met by greeters at Leicester station with a friendly "hej!" and helped on their way with a free map and a city centre guide. They will be directed to Leicester's famous Clock Tower and then on to the fan-zone. Live music and a big screen showing highlights of Leicester City's title-winning season will provide the entertainment, with food and drink available from stalls and a licensed bar. If the weather is cold, a hog roast and heated seating areas will help create a bit of 'hygge' in the square. As the city's Diwali celebrations will be underway, Diwali Indian music and dancing will also feature in the programme. Street artists and stilt walkers in FC Copenhagen and Leicester City kits will help create a family atmosphere – and fans will be able to get their faces painted in their team colours, before they head off to the stadium. The council has a £15,000 budget for the events. http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/velkommen-til-leicester-city-prepares-a-hygee-reception-for-visiting-fc-copenhagen-fans/story-29805641-detail/story.html#iqQdbxI1TOPVAyKx.99
