It's the very first time that City will have played at the highest level of European football in the club's history.

Fans across the city, county and even country are all getting on board to will Claudio Ranieri's side over the line. and this morning we're excited to announce a special day to show your support to the team later this month.

In partnership with the Leicester Mercury and City Council, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Leicester is planning to turn the city blue on the 29 April - the Friday before Leicester travel to Manchester United in the Premier League.! We're asking as many people as possible to wear blue, and the City Council will be lighting up building's like town hall the Clocktower and the New Walk museum until the end of the season.

Today, we also launch our social media campaign, which you can follow, on the hashtag #BackingTheBlues.
