davieG Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 I just can't see these guys doing a cheap expansion they don't do them. They'll want to make the stadium and it's approach impressive. So it wont be just about more seats. Hopefully they'll expand the East Stand and incorporate a new entrance and vastly mproved facilities with a doubling at least of the concourse. Doubtless will include executive boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevelcfc Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 (edited) No doubt its those of us who got shafted in the CL who get shafted by this. Losing our seats, split from family and friends and made to pay the same for inferior 'same tier' seats, while this is being done. Nevertheless, exciting times and great ambition being shown. Yet again the owners backing words up with action. Edited 6 April 2018 by stevelcfc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogstanley Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 (edited) Think we probably only need 3-4k but imagine it'll be a new tier along a whole side which will be more like 8k. Sounds a long way off though, needs an initial design to get to planning, I can't imagine it being completed before the start of the 2021/22 season, by which point we'll probably either be relegated or bored of premier league mediocrity.

Popular Post jonthefox Posted 6 April 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 6 April 2018 I can’t believe some of the negative comments on here. Those of us over 30 probably couldn’t imagine the day we’d spend 10 million on a player let alone 25 million plus. We have a billionaire chairman who’s already committed to a new £80 million training facility and now wants a state of the art stadium. And yet people still piss and moan . 31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly can't knock the ambition though. If it means more season tickets are available, I can guarantee 4 extra seats will be taken up for the foreseeable.

I'd imagine the plans are a lot further on than they're suggesting, they've been looking at it for long while now. We know they've consulted with stadium designers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they take the opportunity to put like minded people together rather than the total FU they made when we moved from Filbo by lumping the whole of the South Stand upper and the kop together in the new South Stand.

LestaAl Posted 6 April 2018 Share Posted 6 April 2018 This is excellent news and confirms the club is moving in the right direction with an owner who is looking to maintain the long term success of the team we all support. ...yes there will be issues with the expansion but on balance this is better than what we have currently.

Not really you can still create an atmosphere if you want. I used to go to 10 -15 games a year for the last 25 years but then after the great escape season I could barely get a ticket as we suddenly attracted several thousand 'die hard' fans, many of which don't even support Leicester as their first team. I look forward to be able to go to games again with my daughters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Babylon Posted 6 April 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 6 April 2018 1 hour ago, ScouseFox said: we’ve got the perfect sized stadium for our fan base, as proven by the fact that we’re getting to thursday/friday before the match with a few spare tickets left. 10/12k more tickets aren’t gonna get sold, we’ll either have to go all derby and give them away any time anyone flies through thai duty free or we’ll have an even deader ground than we have had for the last 18 months. nice. Moving from Filbo was seen as hardly needed as we'd never fill it out. If this club ever wants to grow, then you need room to expand. We'd probably sell out an extra 4k half the season as it is. Every time I go to a cup game I barely see a face I'm familiar with, people are desperate to go down when seats are available. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
