The Foxes Trust board would like to wish BBC Radio Leicester commentator, Ian Stringer, every success as he aims to complete his first London Marathon this Sunday (April 22nd)

Ian is running the event to raise funds for Leicester City Foxes Foundation and with the backing of many fans and several local sponsors has already made significant progress to meet his target of raising £20,000.

The Trust has been backing the Foxes Foundation, through the e-bay sales of sections of the old Stadium Frieze, however those items have sold in a price range from £20 to £150, by sponsoring Ian Stringer, it enables fans to contribute a few pounds to the fund.

So if you enjoy Ian’s commentary, then why not back his fund raising efforts and if you don’t, well how about contributing anyway, see it as paying for him to go through the pain barrier

Leicester City 0 Burnley 0

Report by Mike King

After the previous depressing but accurate report after the defeat at Millwall, and with Play-Off expectations now 99% extinguished, it was a depressing walk towards the King Power Stadium and the crowd and atmosphere were equally subdued, but the hope was for a good win against fellow mid-tablers Burnley to cheer the faithful City fans as this disappointing season draws to an end. With Season Ticket renewals now at the printers for mailing out, a goal bonanza would help to entice the loyal fans back for another season in the Championship.

With the Sky match reporter sitting this one out, King and Gallagher were relegated to the bench with Drinkwater and Dyer returning, with St Ledger still not preferred in the heart of the defence and, of course, no sign of Mills. Where is he? (editor’s note: Mills seen on the car park pre-match looking embarrassed having a photo with a young City fan)

Burnley have some dangerous players in Austin, Wallace and West Ham loanee Stanislas, so they could pose a threat, but perhaps their motivation was equally subdued in front of their 2 coach loads of dedicated fans. We had a Premier Ref in Mike Jones but after recent performances by Premier officials perhaps it was not a good omen but he did have a good game with only one yellow waved.

The game started quietly with Bamba passing to yellow shirts instead of the intended blue ones, but the City were trying to push forward. Dyer had a couple of runs down the left but his crosses found Burnley defenders enabling them to clear. Mis-placed passes were catching as Konchesky gave the ball away as McCann's pass to Austin found him in space but his fierce shot was parried by Schmeichel. Burnley sensed an opening goal and Austin came close but was denied by a brave Morgan tackle.

Name: Shaun Dyer

Current Home Town: Leicester

Birthplace: Bury

Overview of your club:

Favourite thing about your home ground:  It’s a proper old ground in the town, none of this identikit bowl on an industrial estate nonsense.

Favourite match played by your team & why:  Burnley 1 Manchester United 0 our first big game in the premiership Robbie Blake smashes a screamer and the best saves a penalty it gve us hope that we could survive and also gave me bragging rights over a few of my mates for a change.

Favourite player of all time who played for your club:  I’ll be controversial and say Steve Davis, he captained the club and managed it in my lifetime. He was a defensive rock and also scored some big goals for the club (I remember him bagging a brace to put Spurs out of the cup one year). Just a shame he jumped ship with Judas (Coyle) and forever sullied his good name.

About our forthcoming match against you:

Your favourite current player in your squad and why: Kieran Trippier, undoubtedly our signing of the season best attacking full back in the division by a country mile and cost us half the price we got for Mears who isn’t half the player Tripps is. He scores goals, sets them up and runs all day what more can you want?
