King Richard III's burial in Leicester Cathedral coincided with Leicester's 7 wins that saved them from relegation. A team of Buddhist monks are flown in to bless the team before each game, and the spend the match silently meditating, with the main Buddha playing a drum. Leicester City holds the joint record for the most second-tier title triumphs, having won the First Division six times.

I hope you are mildly inconvenienced at some point during your journey to the ground, but have an otherwise pleasant evening
Leicester is home to that blue face painted stinking tramp that's always in the Counting House pub. Friend to Castro as he usually shouts Leicester Tigers, oaf.
I wonder how many players are going to be unveiled on the pitch before the match? Tetteh was in Hull yesterday having his pics taken at the MKM, now Dogukan Sinik is posting pictures of the Princes Quay on his instagram feed and Dimitris Pelkas isn't in the Fenerbahce squad for the Euro Champions league qualifier, also Anthony Nwakaeme is being heavily linked again in Turkey. Acun is sure to be there tomorrow night at the game and he is screening the game live on his TV8 channel, so I think he is planning something big for the City Fans and the Turkish audience. Score 2-2.
Not a lot of people know this. There will be a winner tomorrow. No extra time either. It goes straight to penalties. Over 11,000 tickets sold at close of play on Monday. Still time to buy yours. £5 and £2.50 concessions, and a cup to the winners.
11,000 for a friendly seems decent. Especially considering our league attendances last season were often below that. I wonder how often we've got more than that for a friendly. Obviously the excellent pricing will have played a big part.
Slight correction. Although BBC Leicester was the first official Local Radio Station, there were quite a number of local radio stations in the 1920s (including Hull). John Reith, who wanted to model the early BBC as a sort of ‘broadcasting civil service’ set about shutting them down with Sheffield (the awkward squad) holding out the longest. Manchester who also held out for quite a time became the place ‘difficult folks’ were sent to. The Pilkington Committee 1962/63 led to the development of BBC LR and as you say BBC Leicester was the first. Lord Reith was very, VERY pissed off about the introduction of LR. are you all still awake?
Trying to get out of this ****ing silly graduation do, When I said is it ok if I leave at 6 to go to the match you’d think I was off to murder someone for ****sake !!! They all looked at me with daggers !! I really want to see these lads up close and personal so to speak and no I’m not going to invade the ****ing pitch. I wouldn’t mind, I don’t even like the be-at-ch ( my lad’s other half )
