These plans really do show the intent of the owners to put us on par with the best, but I'm starting to think maybe a whole new stadium is what we need, but who knows they may have plans to change the whole look and feel of the KP alongside the increased capacity. Well that's what I'm hoping for and anything less will feel a little bit of an anti climax I hope they can work with the current stadium as it was originally designed to be expandable IIRC. Building a whole new one is too costly and unnecessary, especially after what the KP has witnessed in its short 16 year existence. Add a tier all round with hospitality everywhere which will earn us more money, keeping the design inside consistent. Double concourse size and redesign the outer. When they’ve finished it will look awesome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardsfoxes Posted 27 June 2018 Share Posted 27 June 2018 What sort of time scale are we looking at regarding its completion, like 1-2 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 27 June 2018 Share Posted 27 June 2018 This looks the dogs! These owners are awesome! They are really building something here and seem to be doing it the right way too. Very exciting times for us! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livid Posted 27 June 2018 Share Posted 27 June 2018 If you build it they will come! Looks stunning, hope they do a few tours in the close season. Would be more interested in that than the stadium to be honest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This design might change all of that but I think they’ve done a decent job of fitting it in with the countryside. I hope the locals don’t stand in the way of this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehrez Posted 27 June 2018 Share Posted 27 June 2018 I had a quick look around some of the other training grounds for the big clubs across Europe and this looks on another level to pretty much them all, a real statement of ambition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to Belvoir Drive to see our facilities but from the photos you see it looks like something a Leicestershire Senior League side would train at with the houses all backing on to the pitches. When we show our prospective signings around these new facilities they'll know they're at a proper football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's done a year earlier you have very happy local residents! I get the impression our owners don't want to hang around with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagrave. Near Sileby, Barrow up on Soar and Thrussington. Out of town own head down Abbey Lane to Red Hill Circle. 2nd exit through Birstall up to the big A6/A46 roundabout. Turn right onto A46, then left at the Hobby Horse roundabout. Seagrave is the 3rd exit from the A46 and the site is on the left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
