3pm Saturday Tough game be interesting to see how we line up for this one. there was a time we’d have loads of back n forth with the leicester board! Whatever happened to that?
Yeah I remember them, think a draw would be a great result. Anything more than that and I’ll happily listen to Rosie waffle
Played 4, won 4. 2 at home, 2 away. 3 games ended 2-1, the other 1-0. So what can we glean? It’ll be close. We’ll lose. 1-2
The name of the city - previously known as Ratae Corieltauvorum in Roman times - comes from Ligor, which is what the River Soar used to be called. The early ninth century name was Legorensis civitatis - meaning Ligor citizens. By the time of the Domesday book in 1086 they were calling it Ledecestre, with the second half of that word meaning a Roman fort. 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 is home to the National Space Centre – one of the UK's leading visitor attractions. Leicester Market is the biggest covered outdoor market in Europe. Leicester is also the home of the 'chisit' – a nickname given to the people of Leicester, because of the phrase "How much is it?" – which in the Leicester accent sounds like "I'm a chisit!" Leicester was the birthplace of the father of the package holiday, In 1841, Thomas Cook organised his first package tour, a trip by train for temperance supporters from Leicester to Loughborough.

Their board has completely died, their transfer thread for this summer has one post on it and that was posted on Saturday.
Foolishly we’ve got some friends from Leicester up for the weekend. Bloke is a Leicester fan, but doesn’t go to that many games. I’ll have to try and spank him at golf Saturday morning so I have at least one thing to brag about (sadly that’s not likely, he’s a good player) He’s wise enough not to take the piss if they do win though…he won’t risk no breakfast Sunday morning! 1-1 draw
Yes, but what we need is a comparison of the number of hotel beds in Leicester with the number in the whole of Portugal.
The last 3 games their winning goals have come late on, so have to some degree scraped through to get wins. If we can keep it tight at the back, then not without a chance of getting something from the game. It certainly will be interesting what the line-up will be.
Thomas Cook wasn’t actually born in Leicester. He was born in Melbourne in Derbyshire and moved to Loughborough where he worked as a cabinet maker before launching his holiday business. There’s quite a lot of info about him (and Leicestershire’s long and rich history) at the crazy golf at Charnwood golf complex in Loughborough. You’d be able to rival the transfer thread for length for the return fixture after a visit there.
Work colleague is a Leicester fan and regular attendee, he confirms their performances are poorer than their results. A hefty dose of smothering Rosieball could be just the job to see their unbeaten run come to an end.
Hi Chazz, we’re still around mate…..some serious bantz then Expecting a tough game tomorrow pal, will have to be solid to get anything from your boys !
I think they like to play keep ball in order to tire the opposition then score late on. Sound familiar?
