"Leicester's more diverse than London, in some ways - and I absolutely love that."

Rishi Madlani is talking about what makes him proud to be a Leicester City fan, for a new mini-documentary series made in association with the Fans for Diversity campaign and produced by Billy Grant and Dave Lane of All Mouth No Action.

He's heading to a game at the King Power Stadium with Kate Langan, a fellow member of Foxes Pride - the club's LGBT supporters group.

They are one of four fans groups profiled in the series, along with Derby's Punjabi Rams, Crawley's Disabled Supporters Association and Manchester City Women's Official Supporters Group.

Each film offers an insight into the unique matchday experience of the supporters, as well as exploring the reasons why they love their club and explaining some of the discrimination or barriers faced by those fans in attending football games.

In this short film, Rishi and Kate reflect on why they helped set up Foxes Pride, the backing they've received from the club itself and the camaraderie they share with other club LGBT supporters group. There are now 44 in existence across the English and Scottish divisions.
