Col city fan Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 Is this not going to wreck the snooker baize of a pitch? All the rucks, scrums, long studs etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 Are they going to do anything with the king power white seats? Hopefully they're allowed... A friend of mine is volunteering as a steward for the games and at their induction they were told ALL King Power branding, including the seats in the stands would be either covered up or removed. No biggy though really, RWC are paying for all the costs of converting and changing it back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 Yeah, our stadium being used in one of the biggest sporting events of the decade, boo, sacrilege, awful, so wrong, rabble rabble. Jeeez. Is something else happening at the stadium as well as the Rugby World Cup then?

This. Probably the same people moaning about all the KP branding at the stadium are now moaning because someone else is paying to have it covered up...

AKCJ Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 Yeah, our stadium being used in one of the biggest sporting events of the decade, boo, sacrilege, awful, so wrong, rabble rabble. Jeeez. I'd rather our fixture list not be broken up by a sport our stadium wasn't designed for when there is a perfectly good one over the road but each to their own.

Nalis Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 Think everyone needs to read the thread on how the pitch is prepared ahead of the RWC games and, more importantly, treated afterwards for the purposes of LCFC. Very insightful and answers most of the q's/woes here. My only gripe is calling the KP 'Leicester City Stadium'. If they didnt want sponsored stadium names involved could they not have gone with 'Filbert Way'? Adds a bit more character to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voll Blau Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 Be lovely to see the ground without the overbearing King Power branding and people having a beer in the stands. Hopefully that'll become a reality for our games too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not totally sure, but I think this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 Will they be allowed to drink in the stands? PL rules, it's aPL stadium? It is not a premier league stadium. It is a stadium that meets premier league criteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 I'm sure football fans aren't allowed to drink in any stadia stands, and has been the case for a while. Not totally sure, but I think this is true. Pretty much. It is covered by the The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol) Act 1985.Basically you cannot consume alcohol "in sight of the pitch" during a period of 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after an "event". For the purposes of the Act, an event is any football match in which (at least) one of teams is a League or Conference club. It does not apply at other events, eg rugby, cricket, athletics etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MattP Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 Disinfect the seats? We have Bernie among our support ffs No idea why people are getting worked up, it's a wonderful event to come to our City and it's going to be great to be able to sit down in the stadium watching sport with a beer without being surrounded by all the King Power crap. Soon I hope the football fans will be able to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Act has been in force for 30 years and policing football crowds is still a massive issue and disruption is still common. I can't see changing the law to be a priority for anyone soon! Can hope though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie-bell-in-rothley Posted 1 October 2015 Share Posted 1 October 2015 How is it that it is billed as the third biggest sporting event in the world yet they haven't even got the stadiums to host it , There are almost more fans in Old Trafford for a utd game than watch the two entire leagues in rugby union in a week. It then commands prime time tv. ???????????????. Get your own stadiums we've paid for ours as fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
