No. Born in Anstey, lived in Broughton Astley and Lutterworth.

Fair play that is awesome commitment coming from America, fans who live in Leicester who don't go and call themselves "fans" have no excuse and ARE part timers.

Money is an issue Harbs. Not everybody can afford to express their love in such a way.

But maybe they picks these kinds of games because they can only afford a handful a season and this qualifies as one that they feel is worth the value for their hard-earned cheddar.

Yes and if they can only afford a few games then clearly money is an issue which is fair enough.
I'm afraid there are other priorities in my life at the minute which mean I can't go as often as I would like. In fact, I haven't been to a game yet this season because of my work. Before this, I hardly missed a home game since 1996 (as well as about 5 away games a season).
I also lived in London last season but got to Millwall and Leyton Orient away, as well as four home games.
You make a sweeping generalisation about people but a lot of them probably have a valid reason for not being able to go. Spending £25-30 on a ticket or whatever it is for a season ticket may be simply a luxury too far for some.

I respect ever fan that goes to Leicester games to support the team.
As I have said though I think a part timer is someone who only goes to the big games and doesen't go to other games such as Donny. When they have no reason what so ever for not going games such as Donny, obviously living away, no money is a valid reason for picking and choosing games to go.

Has much changed in 6 years?
I'm looking forward to all the fireworks and cheerleaders like they have over here.

Top Banana.
Is the half time orange still around, if not where is a good place for a few pints prior to kickoff?

Members only though!
I tend to drink in town (O'Neills) but I believe the Sir Robert Peel and the Gateway are good for a pre-match tipple.
