we also beat them 6-2 in 1910 and 6-1 in 1937

apart from the 3-2 defeat last season - they haven't beaten us since 1993...

I don't fancy getting there and there being none left.
Last I'd heard we'd sold 500.......
Really? Still, £28 a skull at a time when plenty are skint, 500's a decent number, I suppose. I wonder how many will get there and pay a £10er to sit in the home end?
Conference Luton took 1700 to Barnet JSL.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

Luton to Barnet is a damn sight closer than Bolton is to Leicester.

And? How much were the tickets? Also, Luton to Barnet is pretty much a local derby. Will you be at Leicester?

And only a 30 minute journey. Worth it just to see Edgar Davids get sent off, easy. :)

It's a decent ground with a good cosy corner for away fans. Was a great match last season, even if it cost us in the end. Enjoy, and give them a shout for me. I fancied it but have a pre-arranged appointment on the East Lancashire Railway ale trail.
Was it not around this time last season that Leicester started to go off the boil and we started to pick up? (give or take a month!) Enjoy.

Just been reading that a load of Belgian followers of Anderlecht are making the trip over to cheer on ex-player Wasilewski. A round trip of 642 miles. That's keen for you. Be a real shame if we were to rain on their parade....unthinkable. We'll have to be really up for it though if we're going to get that 3-1 win I'm prediciting. :wink:

Nigel Pearson says: "We are mindful of what Bolton are about"...That's a slightly more eloquent way of saying "You know what to expect from Bolton". :wink:
Thing is, we really don't know what to expect, do we? With Mark Davies back and the loanees gone, we have to be a bit unsure of what we'll get served up now. Mason's still an option to Beckford up front but neither are good at winning ariel stuff so we'll have to get it to feet. It would be nice to see Mark Davies making some runs from midfield, and a goal for him would surely boost his confidence out of sight. I'm expecting to see Pratley in there today, but the full back situation is a bit sparse. Ah well, all we can do is hope....COME ON YOU WHITES..

One worrying item: Mills, Pratley and Chungy are all on four yellow cards right now. Hope that doesn't increase any.

Seeing as we don't have McNaughton now I suspect Bappers will be back to RB and Ream {gulp} at LB. Mills and Zat at CB. I can see a good 3 going past us today :(

Hoping to nick a goal on the counter-attack I presume
