lcfc81 Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 Just signed. I've sent it into Spotted Coalville's facebook page too. Quality, the more people who know about it the better! The people I have spoken too genuinely don't seem to know about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudulike Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 There is absolutely NO evidence to suggest any burial site. Add to the fact that he didn't spend ANY time in York in the last year of his life after being crowned Richard III makes it even more certain that he had no plans for the Minster as a final resting place. Monarchs have never been buried in York. It's clear that many people have been unable to separate the title 'York', as in 'House of York', from York, the city of. Two unconnected things but bizzarely a campaign has been launched on this ignorance and a small group has played very successfully on it. The York campaign Facebook page is awash with Leicester bashing at every opportunity and has racist overtones that are, quite frankly, sickening. The judge that has allowed the jucial review mentioned the weight of public opinion that, at the time, was in favour of York. Seems that was the catalyst for a Leicester backlash and just in the nick of time. Anyone with any sense of decency, whether from Leicester or not, should sign the e-petition without delay. It's vitally important that we all keep pushing this one to get as many signed up as possible. COME ON LEICESTER !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be decent academic debate. The problem is a lot of people seem only look into the matter superficially before resorting to derogatory comments. The petition is on 16000 now. 20000 is surely the next big target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orkneyfox Posted 7 September 2013 Share Posted 7 September 2013 We should start a movement to re-inter all sorts of people whose remains are not where their (very distant ) relatives might choose. It will make the yorkies seem even more ridiculous. I'd start with famous explorer Captain James Cook. A Yorkshire man, killed in Hawaii his relatives would surely claim that he intended to be buried at home, instead his body was disemboweled, baked to facilitate removal of the flesh, and the bones were carefully cleaned for preservation as religious icons in a fashion somewhat reminiscent of the treatment of European saints in the Middle Ages. Some of Cook's remains, disclosing some corroborating evidence to this effect, were eventually returned to the British for a formal burial at sea following an appeal by his crew.

WhatsHisName Posted 7 September 2013 Author Share Posted 7 September 2013 There is NO way that OUR king is going to that crappy northern town. Our Mayor has said that his burial will happen, and that is good enough for me. the platagenet alliance can just f**k themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudulike Posted 8 September 2013 Share Posted 8 September 2013 I'm not Twitter user but is anyone able to Tweet Sir Gary Lineker ?? Apparently he's been none committal so far but as a freeman of the city he should come out and declare his support. Come on, Gary, don't forget where you're from.

Maybe just students. Anyone study there? Mentions Percy Gee building which I believe is where the Student Union is. Only been there for a cleaning job. Immaculate buildings.

RobHawk Posted 9 September 2013 Share Posted 9 September 2013 Fellow Foxes legend, midfielder Muzzy Izzet, branded York's claim to the king's remains as "laughable". Izzet, who won the League Cup with Leicester twice under Martin O'Neill, said: "I think it's such a brilliant tale – a dead king, lost for more than 500 years and found beneath a car park in Leicester. "Of course he should stay here. We found him. No-one would know where he was if it wasn't for the experts at the University of Leicester. "It's laughable, really, York are trying to lay claim to him. "He's ours. He's like me – he's an adopted son of Leicester. Stay here for long enough and that's what happens to you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
