A short blog - Football and a Ker-Plunk! update

I went to the football yesterday, saw Leicester City win 3-1 and creep off the bottom of the table, also saw our new manager (Sven Goran Erricksen... yes the ex england manager) come to the ground to be introduced.

I was interviewed by Sky Sports or BBC or someone, but didnt see it on telly anywhere. I assume that the aussie accent wasnt what they were looking for.

Anyway... Sven... what a coup, one of the most recognisable managers in the world.. is now with the Foxes..and is talking about us getting to the Premier league.. woohoo.

I spent the 1st half in the west stand, which is the cheapest area $40   but is also the least inspired area..was more like a library...so i snuck into the spion kop for the second half and stood with the" Fosse Boys" who are a group (about 40 odd) of young 18-25 year olds who are trying to bring back the atmosphere of days gone by... Since the implementation of all seater stadiums has affected the atmos, with standing now banned and the singing being much less prominent.... it was fabulous to be with them and spend the whole second half standing and singing.

Ker-Plunk!
Game ..umm whatever... sees Nic win in a most convincing manner 4-29 leaving me in the lead of games won.. but her infront in total scores...the kerplunk excitment know no bounds.

Pic one is taken from the Kop, before the game...




Pic 2 is taken from the west stand as the players warm up.

Below is a slightly smaller video taken as the players enter the ground, the sound is the Post Horn Gallop played at every home game... i swing round to the directors box to see Sven...but i dont think you can see him  :) then i swing round to the right to show the Kop.
