Great as always, Dave.

Good luck to all those going on Saturday. I live about two miles from VP and the cars were frozen over by 7pm.

In fairness Leicester can also be visited for the National Space Centre, so that's two things.

I was going to post the same thing. I was at the NSC for a Radio Massacre International gig and a Public Service Broadcasting album launch.

Leicester also has one of England's largest comedy festivals.

I remember going to Filbert Street when Mark Lillis helped us to an early away win under Sir Graham in our promotion season and also a few years later when Heskey managed to get Southgate sent off, which a mate of mine still brings up to this day along with his longstanding hatred for Emile Ivanhoe.

Both times was grim.

I actually hate them a little less after we got Youri Tielemans from them for free.
