davieG Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 A Leicester City XI will take on Blaby & Whetstone Athletic on Monday 8 September as the two teams compete for the Westerby Cup Winners’ Cup at Holmes Park (7.30pm KO). This season’s Westerby Cup Winners’ Cup has added significance, with the clash between the Foxes and Blaby & Whetstone kick-starting the 25th anniversary celebration of the Westerby Challenge Cup; the Leicestershire & Rutland County FA’s oldest and most prestigious cup competition. Blaby & Whetstone emerged 2-0 winners over Quorn Football Club in last season’s Westerby Challenge Cup Final at King Power Stadium, thanks to strikes from Aaron Preston and Mason Hirst. The victory resulted in Blaby & Whetstone Athletic lifting the Westerby Challenge Cup for the first time in the club’s history. Leicester City manager, Nigel Pearson, said: “Grassroots football is the lifeblood of the game in this country and we’re very proud to represent the thousands of footballers that play the game under the governance of the Leicestershire & Rutland County FA. “Games like the Westerby Cup Winners’ Cup give us the opportunity to acknowledge the support of our footballing community and I’m sure the game against Blaby & Whetstone Athletic will be a competitive experience for some of our young players.” Tickets for the Westerby Cup Winners’ Cup Final will be available on the night at Holmes Park, priced at just £5 for adults and £2 for concessions.

Captain... Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 First bit of silverware for Cambiasso, keep him ahead of Messi.
pleatout Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 aah Holmes Park, where the ONE match officials changing room only has enough room for 3 officials because there are no 4th officials and no female officials.
Narborough_fox Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Aye, mate plays for the reserves and told me that Levi is playing for the first team this season. Says he's still as rapid as ever, might head down for a couple of quid to be honest.
Buzzell Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Ahhh Aaron Preston. I know him. Top lad, brilliant footballer.
Soar Fox Posted 3 September 2014 Posted 3 September 2014 Feel sorry for Blaby & Whetstone the Leicestershire FA absolutely fvcking them over. The game should be played at Warwick Road Blaby's home ground but the FA insisted on it being moved to Holmes park.

Apparently the FA feel the facilities at Warwick Road aren't good enough so they insisted on it being changed? No idea if Blaby & Whetstone still get the ticket money though, would be a disgrace if they didn't.

No idea if Blaby & Whetstone still get the ticket money though, would be a disgrace if they didn't. They have had new facilities recently and it hosted quite a big fa cup game 2 years ago. The FA are just trying to make it all about them unfortunately. I've got a few friends who play for Blaby so i'll ask them about the ticket money, but as you said it will be a disgrace if they don't.
