Yeah. DMU broke the lease with the existing club already. Anstey Town, Nomads defacto reserves play there already. It makes a lot of sense - very similar to Alvechurch moving from their village ground into the city. 

Would they be better branding themselves as the City of Leicester's highest Non league team ? Get people from allover the city and suburbs going.

Me personally would sooner they stay where they are .

A feel good story from major surgery to success on the pitch.

There's no room to grow there though is there. It's all very tight and compressed. If they want to start moving up leagues they need to meet minimum capacities and facilities.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they're only a promotion or 2 away from Cropston Road being unsuitable.

This Mulbarton case is ridiculous. Game was in effect voided because the referee disallowed a penalty and, instead of awarding a retake, have a free-kick the other way. Woodford lostt, appealed and it has now been rearranged for next Tuesday. Gloucester now do not know where they will be going for the next round which is the Saturday after.

 

Incredible.

Loughborough Students (for the first time), Quorn and Anstey Nomads through to the FA Trophy first round

Just come away from macclesfield v harborough town, not a pretty game very tight from both sides. Macclesfield scored from decent free kick, but seem to sit back after that. Harborough did try to respond but lacked quality up top. 125 from harborough they said of a crowd 2,800.

They do seem to struggle scoring goals, but generally don’t concede many. I think they’ve got enough to finish mid-table.

Was at the Quorn game today ended up 4-2 to Quorn could have been 7 all, woodwork was hit about 5 times. Really enjoyed 2 teams giving 100% none of this tippy tappy football.

There's good players there, 3 or 4 once played for the boro. I think if they can find that goalscorer i dont see why they cant push for the play offs.

 

I think it helps a lot these of players have played at this level before which explains why they have had a decent start.

Cracking ground (amazingly LCFC played there in the league) and a surprisingly decent town too.
