I think 3000 is the initial allocation we have asked for. In total we are entitled to 5000. Clearly the club want to see how they get on with selling the initial amount. Be surprised if we get over 3000 though.

From Lesters forum... Great result today and can't wait for Swindon. The people on their forum seem to think they are Barcelona and we are Hinckley just because theyve got mardy cvnt Paolo. Another 4-0 would be great, but we'll struggle to be that consistent:p They do have a lot of confidence and self-belief for a proxy League 2 side. I think he means poxy but still! Mind you on their forum after that one performance they do think they will steamroller us. |

Yeah I guess proxy is a slip of the tongue that actually could apply to us! |

Melton ROad is known as the golden mile and is home to some very good places. Not least is Bobbys which is nationally rated as one of the best. But it is a veggie curry place from memory. Living in leicester from 95 to 2002 has put me off curries for life.

Well as you know I live in Leicester...so I thought I'd try to mop up a few questions and help if I can. My route from Swindon to Leicester is out to Lechlade, through Burford on to Stow and Moreton. Leave the Fosse Way just after Halford (left at roundabout) and follow signs to A46. A46 until you come off at M69 junction. M69 to the end, straight down Narborough road, turn right onto Upperton Road to the ground. Parking could be a bit of a bugger though. The journey always takes two hours. As for curries, haven't been to Bobby's for a while but it was good when I went, Paddy's is great ( http://www.paddysmarteninn.co.uk/) and for a posher curry try Memsaab ( http://mem-saableics.com/), the curried ostrich starter is very nice. |

Are Leicester much better than Wigan, Shitty or Huddersfield?
Genuine question. I have no idea.

I'll hazard a guess that Leicester will field their strongest outfit....something Wigan and to lesser extent Udders didn't, both of whom visited the CG. Shitty are just shit anyway....Leicester start as massive favourites...at home, some big name players who might just fancy making a bit of effort for the Cup. |

The building is, but it's been shut for a few years now. |
