Dib Dib Dib!


Leicester City have drawn Everton in the FA cup.

Leicester City Women that is.

They play on Sunday 27th January at 1pm. Sadly not at such a prestigious venue as the men though. No Walkers Stadium for the girls. They get Blaby Scout Headquarters!

The venue it seems is host to various other community activities. Such as the Coffee Bar, a weekly meeting group which cites its aims as:
  • To provide a friendly, informal social group for people to drop in for a chat and a coffee.
  • To increase people's confidence and self esteem by attending a community group independently.
  • To provide the opportunity to meet new people.
  • For people to be able to gain information on groups, activities etc. that are happening.
  • To support people during their illness and/or as they are recovering and moving on.
The building is also the home of a number of beaver colonies.

Scouting is a subject close to Ian Holloway's heart at the moment too. His chief scout, Gary Penrice, is apparently the only man he would leave his wife naked with. Unfortunately Olly has not paid as much attention to the "Be Prepared" motto as he should have done, resulting in him forgetting his wife's birthday.

Apparently the "Be Prepared" motto means "you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your DUTY".
  • Be Prepared in Mind by having disciplined yourself to be obedient to every order, and also by having thought out beforehand any accident or situation that might occur, so that you know the right thing to do at the right moment, and are willing to do it.
  • Be Prepared in Body by making yourself strong and active and able to do the right thing at the right moment, and do it. (Source: Wikipedia)
Sounds like our players could do worse than sign up to this.

I wish the women well. It is a bit of a scandle, however, they have to play in such small surroundings. Looking at the state of the Walker's pitch recently, I can understand they wouldn't want to risk that......but....maybe somewhere like this might be an option ?

Remarkable there seems to be little promotion for a team doing so well
