Livid Posted 16 February 2018 Share Posted 16 February 2018 Twelve times the size of Belvoir Drive, that's an awful lot of pitches, how much space do we actually need ? I get there will be an indoor pitch, gym, medical & physio facilities, parking, pool etc but Man City's is only 80 acres. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/30376774 We are massive!!

There was suggestions they might retain a 9 home home course, then there's always polo and horses but that could be for belvoir drive ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamark Posted 16 February 2018 Share Posted 16 February 2018 Just think we could have the best golf team in the Premier league. Genuinely hope the members and staff at Parkhill have been able to find alternate course and jobs.Pity the club couldn't have found a 'greenfield' site in the area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably could but getting planning permission would be very difficult where as this is just a change of leisure activity hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascal Posted 16 February 2018 Share Posted 16 February 2018 On 2/4/2018 at 16:30, urban.spaceman said: Claude Puel believes Leicester City’s plans to build a new £80million training ground are crucial for the future of the club. As revealed by the Mercury this week, City have completed a deal to buy the former Park Hill Golf Club, near Loughborough, and drawn up plans to develop the 180-acre site into one of the best facilities in the country. City have hired architects who have previously worked on Tottenham’s training ground as well as Liverpool’s stadium extension at Anfield, and Puel said he would be happy to get involved. The City boss said he had travelled around Europe to help build training facilities at his former clubs Lille, Lyon and Nice. “In my former clubs, always I build something,” said Puel. “I have a lot of information I can help with this. For me, it is important to have a good understanding between people in a new structure. Puel is definitely an asset the club can rely on for this vast project. Domaine de Luchin, Lille's training centre, is 100% Claude Puel's brainchild and is widely acknowledged as one of the most modern training grounds in Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See now this excites me - sounds as if there is lots and lots of long-term planning by our owners, with Puel at the center. Really makes you feel like he is going to contribute to the club as a whole rather than just the first team squad. Hurray consistency, and a holistic approach! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 17 February 2018 Share Posted 17 February 2018 Maybe part of the planning approval will include upgrading the junction with LCFC contributing to the cost especially if they build a mini stadium for the U23 etc which would increase and concentrate the traffic levels at certain times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Club will also be reaching out to local people as it seeks to put its community at the heart of a project to provide Leicestershire with both a world-class sporting environment and community programmes to rival the best in the country. In addition to the discussions at King Power Stadium, a questionnaire will also be available on tablet devices to complete on-site.

Wymsey Posted 23 February 2018 Share Posted 23 February 2018 Who are the representatives from the club? I'd imagine H&S Officer, Planning Officers, those who speak for the fans like Cliff Ginetta, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 23 February 2018 Share Posted 23 February 2018 (edited) Outside the fan store? If only there was a huge indoor facility somewhere with enough room to house 100's if not 1000's of people comfortably.

promised land Posted 23 February 2018 Share Posted 23 February 2018 For those of us who live nearby Park Hill, we got a flyer through the door yesterday, saying they're having two open days, one in Sileby, the other Seagrave so fans, residents etc can view this, I guess it will be the same as the one at the ground.

dynamark Posted 23 February 2018 Share Posted 23 February 2018 Loving the 'community programmes'always helps with a planning application !
