'Sporting capital' in sad state

What a sad state the major sports teams of our city now find themselves in.

At the start of the century we were calling ourselves the sporting capital of Britain, now look at us – the only bright spot being the basketball team.

Leicestershire cricket team have been in decline for several years. Is it time to move out of Grace Road to somewhere with more pleasant surrounding and share facilities with a local amateur team?

Then we have Leicester City with Nigel Pearson in charge.

Who is he fooling when he claimed we would finish in the top five in a year's time?

Then we come to my sport, rugby, with Richard Cockerill in charge, and the Tigers playing a we'll-bore- everybody-to-death brand of rugby. Who would have thought that one day someone from Leicester would have to go to Northampton to see a game of decent rugby!

Pat Walker, Leicester.
