Well the 1st event for the MAKE CHANGE is finally here and what a day to combine with, no other than Forest away.
So I asked a few friends and colleagues if they would take part in getting their bicycles out and join me in cycling to Nottingham to the game.
We left the walkers at 10am in the sweltering sun and made our way out of Leicester along the A6 towards Loughborough biking through the picturesque villages along the way. Every now and again we would stop at a chosen pub so we could stop for a breather and to re group so that we all felt supported and encouraged.

1 lad had 2 punctures before we even got past Rothley (bless him). When we got out into the Nottinghamshire countryside we faces some tough hills and the weather was doing us no favours at all but we all soldiered on through the heat and found ourselves stopped at another pub on route(for soft drinks may I add)..
When we reached our destination at the final pub before all regrouping and heading off to the ground as a collective we sat and had lunch (thanks to Jimmy sehmi) as he decided he would like to treat us for our hard work and enthusiasm.
All the riders felt so supported throughout the journey so I would personally like to thank everyone that supported us throughout by supplying us with soft drinks and fruit and the occasional spare bike.

Once we arrived at the ground we were met by ex forest player Nigel Gemson and Nottingham’s local newspaper.
On getting to the ground I somehow managed to get a puncture, but im glad I got it there rather than getting stuck out in the countryside so someone was looking down on me that day
When we got into the ground people were asking me how it went which I thought was really nice. Once I got to my seat that’s when my legs started to ache so I spend most of the game sat down and watching the game between peoples bodies.

I cant really comment to much on the game as I was still thinking about the journey there.. I know we went a goal down then Oakley scored a screamer to equalise then we conceded again when Weale parried the ball into Earnshaws path to go 2-1 down then I vaguely saw Vassell get the equaliser put unfortunately I did see the ball slip under Weales body to give florist a 3-2 lead with the clock ticking down..
This seemed to be the end of Leicester’s play off hopes for this season…
KEEP THE FAITH for next year
