We have all seen the extra media attention that we have generated during our succesful campaign last season, it is now being reported that our local economy has benefited by in excess of £140m, supported more than 2500 jobs and generated more than £78m in Tax Revenues.
The EY report, drawn up for the club and Premier League, estimates visiting fans spent more than £6.5 million on local travel, accommodation, food and drink, and shopping last season, stimulating economic activity and supporting more than 380 jobs
It said the contribution of the club was boosted by its investment in its local community through two charitable foundations – the Leicester City Football in the Community Trust and Leicester City Foxes Foundation. Last season, the trust spent about £580,000 on projects that benefited 6,600 locals.
And at the end of last season, the club also announced a £2 million donation to the Leicester Hospitals Charity
It just goes to show that while we are all rejoicing in winning the PL, its effects are much more wide spread and beneficial to the whole of our area.
Well done to the club and lets continue our fairytale tonight

Added bonus on winning the PL

To be honest an awful lot, more than we all thought we would do, and our midfield and defence doesn't look the same without him.
You got a bargain, enjoy him. He is a very special player and I hope he continues to perform for you as he did for us.

also what he has done is got Matic back playing well too...& anyone keeping Fabregas out of the side has to be pretty special

I bleated on about how we needed a makelele in our team for 8 year. 8 whole years I cried and moaner about how we needed a defensive midfielder to break up play and get us on the front foot.
8 years of waiting.
Then he came and we won the league!!
.... And then he left.
How long do I need to wait for the next one?! I reckon another 133 years probably!

We had Cambiasso who everyone seems to have completely forgotten. The guy was a legend. Was.

He was BS, and I shall never forget him. But a defensive midfielder he was not.
Easily the most gifted player I've ever seen in a Leicester shirt though.
