Party at Filbo! (28/01/02)

City have announced a schedule of events to mark the last couple of weeks at Filbert Street.

Under the title of "The Final Whistle", here's what there will be:

Centrepiece of the celebrations will be an all-star farewell game on Monday May 13. Dave Bassett's current Premiership team will take on an invitation ex-Leicester City XI including Premiership stars from a host of other clubs.

As a curtain-raiser, Foxes legends from the sixties, seventies and eighties will don their boots for one final time in a special veterans game.

City's final Premiership game at Filbert Street will be against Tottenham 48 hours earlier on Saturday May 11 (ko 3pm). A presentation of Foxes legends spanning the past six decades will be unveiled to supporters during the day. And in the evening a special gala night featuring many of those players will be held at the club.

Supporters will also get the chance to tread the turf for the final time in a special gala fans night on Friday May 17 when Leicestershire rockers Showaddywaddy will play live on the pitch.

An auction of Filbert Street memorabilia will also be held in July when fans can bid for artefacts such as seats, pieces of the Filbert Street pitch and other items including “The Final Whistle”.

Should City just let us all on the pitch after the Spurs game and have a bit of it rather than try and do all this stuff? Or will it be good fun? Afterall Showaddywaddy are great after 20 pints! (Even I'd seem good after 20 pints - Ed)
