I do live in the fair city with RIII, Beaver (Belvoir), Humbo Gate, the city and all that but I am sorry to say I am actually an invader hailing for Essex. As Essex has not history or culture, kidding really, I though why not where I live. Actually thats the part of VBCW is basing it on your local area and hostory.

It's why I love this hobby, it can take you in so many different directions.

I never would have started seeing what I can do to make my own version of these, and I never would've thought I'd end up reading this page:

Thanks again for sharing.

Beaver (Belvoir)

This is my biggest hatred in life.

Leicester is pretty interesting historically, from its place as the capital of mercia and as a roman settlement, through to it's role as a strategic town in the fight between the north and south, and it's social history in more recent times. (my grandfather was head of the Leicester printers union and kept several of the old cloth banners. )

Also our position as neither north nor south confuses and infuriates people.

And a LOT of outsiders people would like to see you win the Premier League this year.

I so know what you mean and I think the radical side of modern Leicester is amazing and so fits in with VBCW. The north/south thing is funny too as no-one has any idea and the city itself is proud of being Midlanders, East Midlanders at that.

City winning the Premiership, that would make a lot of people happy, Villa just staying up would make me happy.
