Fosse Boy Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Do we still have any kind of connection with them? I read about their rivalry with fellow Calcutta club Mohun Bagan in a book I got for Christmas and got me thinking about them. What have we gained from having them as a feeder club thus far? Found this information section on Leicester on their website, some of it makes for comical reading! http://eastbengalfootballclub.com/other/lcfc.asp
Sparky Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Think ties were cut few years back , due to them sending us too many players who went on to become world beaters
Ozwin Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 I remember them in that Pepsi Max Challenge. They didn't even have matching kits. I remember some guy having pink socks.

Thracian Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 It's the Inuik connection I'm bothered about. The ice in the Northern extremes is melting so not only are the Eskimos losing their practice facilities but if their best football talent doesn't end up at Leicester they could well end up in the sea. That's where our international efforts should be centred...Greenland. And we could perhaps save the polar bears while we're at it.
StanSP Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 What clubs are our parent/feeder clubs?? Any big names?

Corky Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 What clubs are our parent/feeder clubs??Any big names? Parent club: Used to be Tottenham, don't know now. Feeder club: Cheltenham Town
Lillehamring Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 there stands a stunning and futuristic collaboration of steel and glass that dominates the skyline of Leicester - The Walker Stadium. The City now fill their 32500 seater bowl shaped stadium every matchday. can't quite decide which sentence is funnier!
Lillehamring Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 or even... After all faith and handwork are the only things that makes miracles happen for East Bengal as well

Alexikokopops Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 RACISTaren't we meant to call them Inuits now? Calling all Eskimos Inuits is the same as calling everyone in England a Geordie apparantly.
Unit Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 Calling all Eskimos Inuits is the same as calling everyone in England a Geordie apparantly. christ, i didn't even know they could speak... do they exist anymore?
coale39 Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 christ, i didn't even know they could speak... do they exist anymore? They sure are! They are behind the recent credit crisis. Bloody greedy eskimos.
MPH Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 christ, i didn't even know they could speak... do they exist anymore? the geordis or the eskimos?
The Stig Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 Shame the contract's finished. For all supporters EBFC should have been a second team.
He's not bald Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 the geordis or the eskimos? i don't know about Eskimos but true Geodis are becoming extinct,the problem apparently is with the weather,the lassies have been seen wearing coats and cardies in town on a Friday night and lads are actually wearing their toon shirt's...well the one's that can get in them!
Thracian Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 RACISTaren't we meant to call them Inuits now? Inuits is definitely closer. I was still in the Near East thinking of a vase I've recently been discussing!
dandannieldanok Posted 6 January 2009 Posted 6 January 2009 They got the bit about Micky Adams working miracles right.
Fosse Boy Posted 6 January 2009 Author Posted 6 January 2009 Shame the contract's finished. For all supporters EBFC should have been a second team. They are for me! Well, they're my favourite Asian team at least...
