Leicester City Women FC

For people of a certain age Leicester City Football Club will always be associated with Filbert Street. Since 2002, however, the Foxes have called Leicester City Stadium their home. Owing to sponsorship deals the stadium has in the past been known as The Walkers Stadium and, in its current incarnation, The King Power Stadium. With a capacity of 36,232, the King Power is the 19th largest football stadium in England. Though it doesn’t have as much history to it as more storied locations such as Anfield or Old Trafford, it did witness Leicester win the second tier division title for a record equalling seventh time, joining Manchester City, in 2013-2014. That season also saw the club win their record number of points in a single season, 102. That was as nothing compared to the end of the 2015-2016 campaign, however, when Leicester surprised everyone by winning the Premier League at odds of 5000/1. However, the stadium has also been the setting for a real tragedy. In 2018, the owner of the club, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, and four others took off in a helicopter from the middle of the pitch live on television, only to crash moments later, killing all on board. The club and the city went into mourning and a huge number of tributes were laid out by fans and staff alike.
