The Search for Franck Rolling: What kind of name is Claude anyway?
http://searchforfranck.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-kind-of-name-is-claude-anyway.html
What kind of name is Claude anyway? March 16th: Crystal Palace v Leicester City (Championship). As we get off the train, I suddenly need the toilet quite urgently. I don't remember drinking a lot on the train, but all the same my bladder is about to explode. We make our way down the escalator towards the toilets (Helen also needs to go). and the gents' is shut. Fuck and bollocks. It's not really odd. He's an utterly clueless cunt, and this is therefore no surprise.]. Helen likes to get into the ground ea...

The Search for Franck Rolling: Bovril, please
http://searchforfranck.blogspot.com/2010/03/bovril-please.html
March 6th: Sheffield Wednesday v Leicester City (Championship). Missed call on my phone. Helen. I call back. The train's been cancelled.". The train we were supposed to get on has been cancelled. I'm getting the next one instead, it leaves in about five minutes.". I'm at least ten minutes away, so I guess that means we're on separate trains. And I bet that also means the one I end up on will be full. Fucking hell. Time to digress at a tangent. All this shaking hands and hugging bullshit? I arrive in Shef...

The Search for Franck Rolling: Bagpipes and an abseiling mascot
http://searchforfranck.blogspot.com/2010/02/bagpipes-and-abseiling-mascot.html
Bagpipes and an abseiling mascot. February 20th: Plymouth Argyle v Leicester City (Championship). It's fixtures like this that make me very happy that I have a friend who drives to games. In respect of this, as we meet at Fosse Park shortly before 8am I tell Helen she's not paying for any food or coffee she might like to consume today. This and her ticket constitutes today's bribe. Aren't motorway service stations wonderful? At this stage we come across Sinclair and Stringer, of BBC Radio Leicester, erm,...

The Search for Franck Rolling: Frantic finish
http://searchforfranck.blogspot.com/2010/02/frantic-finish.html
February 16th: Bristol City v Leicester City (Championship). Fuckwitted old sow. If you're spending more than ten seconds interacting with a bus driver, then catching a bus is clearly beyond your capabilities. Find a new mode of transport and stop annoying me.]. I meet Helen at Pizza Hut, where we have time to sit and eat before setting off down for Bristol. As we sit there, we agree we both hate kids. Wonderful. As we hit the M69, a question rises in her head: What is Britain's shortest motorway? We wal...

The Search for Franck Rolling: What's the point?
http://searchforfranck.blogspot.com/2009/12/whats-point.html
December 28th: Doncaster Rovers v Leicester City (Championship). Doncaster is one of those places you only go to if you really have to. Like Birkenhead or Chesterfield or Mansfield or Leeds or south London or Bradford or Boston or Nottingham or Caboolture, Queensland or Dartford or Blackpool or Llandudno. Or Worksop.]. As the bus shuffles along through Sheffield, stopping at Meadowhall, I observe the people walking past, getting on, going about their business. What a pleasant day! I feel like crying.

The Search for Franck Rolling: It's the peanut thief!
http://searchforfranck.blogspot.com/2010/02/its-peanut-thief.html
It's the peanut thief! February 23rd: Doncaster Rovers v Leicester City (Championship). I'm back to travelling alone for tonight. Helen's gone back to Grimsby and is coming to the game with her parents. Don't worry though, we'll find some entertainment. Half an hour after the coach leaves Nottingham, my phone rings. It's the peanut thief.". Silence. Comprehension. Resignation. An audible sigh. "Hello, Robbie. How are you? Ignores the question: "Where are you? On a coach to Sheffield. Where are you? The c...

The Search for Franck Rolling: Do Foxes piss on Trees?
http://searchforfranck.blogspot.com/2010/02/do-foxes-piss-on-trees.html
Do Foxes piss on Trees? February 27th: Leicester City v Nottingham Forest (Championship). Well, that's just unthinkable. It can't happen, can it? Actually, being a Leicester fan, I'm all too aware that yes, it can happen. Almost certainly will happen. Not that I don't believe in the team, I just know what it's like being a Leicester fan. No. We'll win this. Definitely. Before kick-off it's obvious that we've got close to a sell-out here. The atmosphere, obviously, is better than usual. I learn some inter...

The Search for Franck Rolling: Iwan is a Welshman
http://searchforfranck.blogspot.com/2010/03/iwan-is-welshman.html
Iwan is a Welshman. March 13th: Leicester City v Cardiff City (Championship). I'm furious. The buses from Fosse Park are beyond a joke. From 2 o'clock I wait for a bus, and a city-bound one finally arrives at 2.24. Really, why the fuck would anyone use buses out of choice? Final score: Leicester 1 Cardiff 0. Posted by Blue Maniac.
