Did go in the Longstop early on with big Brother Shay but always worked our way down towards the ground, popped in a few that had a crusty cheese & onion cob in a glass cabinet as well, always whizzed into Fenwicks after for a squirt of fine aftershave before a drunken night on the pull in Town…

Soar point?
Yes Snooty, you are correct.
Yep, always the Soar Point since becoming a pub under the ‘Scream’ brand as far as I know, joining the Loaded Dog, Dry Dock and Polar Bear serving the ‘student community’. I’m not sure if it was a pub before that but we did some work with them when they first opened, late 90s
Sometimes go in there after the game. Does Camden Pale my favourite beer
where was the Everard's Arms ?
In Corby, where as it says, the bus from Corby left from.
Furnivals of Fleckney, remember the screw top lid on the little bottles as a kid that tore off your skin as you eagerly tried to open it…
"Geordie bloke" was from the other side of the country Workington or Barrow i think, miserable is right though! In the 80s somebody kept banging on the supporters club gates even though kick off was half hour gone, eventually Charlie (miserable Geordie bloke) started to shout through the gates that he couldnt come in, after 10 minutes of this Charlie opened the gate to tell him once and for all that he wasnt coming in, Charlie came back up the stairs into the supporters club end with his glasses in pieces and was more miserable than normal just behind him came the chap that wanted to get in! Bloke had a season ticket but was late, went to the office to get in and they told him to go to the supporters club end to be let in. Was about half time and 2-3 coppers came and took a statement from the 2 of them, Charlie spent the rest of the game telling people that "he knew someone that would sort him out". Oh by the way the late supporter also had his young son with him!
Remember Charlie
The Everard Arms is to be found close to Corby town centre. Was always the pre match gathering place for local Leicester fans who travelled by coach to Filbert St, but not so much the new stadium. Back in the sixties it was Bartons Buses , replaced by N&S Coaches. We formed a Corby Leicester supporters club sometime after N&S stopped the service. Judges coaches filled the gap for a few years until we gave up. The Cardigan Arms pub in the older part of the town took over from the "Eves" as the departure point as well as hosting our supporters club meetings and events. Having two landlords who were huge City fans helped us along the way. The "Eves" remained a pick up point and is fondly remembered by a lot of us of the Leicester City persuasion in North Northants
Charlie was from WorkingtonRemember Charlie
