Don't worry Lisa. By my reckoning, if the next victory is as long away as the last one, you don't need to start worrying until Wednesday 11th February 2071 

I'd be ....89! If i'm still alive i'll be so happy I won't even mind! lol

I don't suppose this will be any consolation to Poole fans but I think the last time a Leicester team won at Poole was on 3rd October 1973 when they won 40.38. Ray Wilson top scored with 14.

Leicester won at Poole in 1980 in the ko cup and 1982 in the league,( everybody won at Poole in 1982) terrible team.!!

Rumour has it that Turnip has not been banned at all, just having medication increased also matron has confiscated his phone.

Wow! And Poole's guest, the great Peter Collins couldn't save the day.
Let's hope it's not nearly 50 years before the next victory there.

Wish I could be so optimistic. I’ll be nice and cosy in the ground by then. I will request to be buried under the centre green area of BP. By 2071 though, I will be most likely be under a housing estate. By then, people will not only hit Google to find out about Leicester Lions but may also be researching a defunct sport. If the sport is still going, I bet the Great Great Grandson of Chris Harris is guesting for every team around!

I think you will be able to rest in peace under the centre green at BP. The land was too contaminated by heavy metals from its days as a sewage farm to be built on!

That’s cheered me up no end. A life spent fighting the brown stuff only to be buried in it!
