3 things you'd like to see incorporated in an expanded stadium

[MattyFromLE]

1. An LCFC crest on the concourse/track in front of the tunnel when the players walk out, sort of like Man City''s ground. 

2. As many have said, more shoutouts to pre-takeover history. (strange this seems like an issue given the pre-match build up video(s)). 

3. Not structural, or about the actual stadium. But a few mates of mine really struggle for tickets. The membership scheme sounds over complex and loads of people I know often just don't bother. So maybe that needs to be addressed?

A fully integrated VR headset on every seat. 

 

So that when we're 0-2 down at home to Newcastle, watching lacklustre sideways and backwards football, supporters can just pop it on and relive us spanking Everton and lifting the trophy and it might give them something to shout about.

If they were actually in favour there's nothing to stop them  designing a section that could more easily be adapted for rail seating if it eventually came in. Come to that any club could install rail seating but keep the seats locked until there was change in the regulations.

New WHL has been designed so rail seating can be installed if the want to in the future. But the governments "no plans to change the all seater regulations" seems a pretty clear position, which is a shame.

 

I think the general public conscience associates "standing" with hooligans and Hillsborough even though that is nowhere near accurate.

Expanding the concourse and current facilities in ground when the additional tier(s) go on.

A section of bars or restaurants or similar to be in or sit in pre-game 

Agree with the railway station idea, a line would make it 100x easier to get to and reduce road congestion, especially if we're increasing capacity.

As fantastic as that would be I can't see them boosting the capacity by over 13,000. More likely another tier over one of the longer sides adding another 3-4k in my view. Would absolutely love a cavernous kind of roof to keep the noise in and focused at the pitch. 

There's no way they're going to go to the trouble of removing the roof, adding adding an additional tier above/behind an existing one(s), and then adding a new roof, with all the engineering complications, structural changes and expense that it'll entail, just for an extra 3 or 4 thousand seats.  We'd be left with a tiny but very expensive new section which only contains about 7 rows, and still have the same problem that demand far exceeds supply.  They've got to be looking at 40000+ surely.

 

Since we returned to the Premier League, every game at the stadium has been full (with the exception of part of the away end a few times), and that's with an expensive membership scheme that only allows people a chance at buying a single seat, and makes it difficult for non members to get a ticket at all.  Selling 30,000 season tickets is a reasonable target. then another 10,000 for non-season ticket holders, away fans and corporate means that 40,000 minimum for most games is achievable.  A fair comparison is Sunderland.  Capacity 48,000, average Premier League attendances were around 42,000.  Rarely went below 40,000, usually full for the big games.  

 

With Swansea, Watford and Palace all looking to expand to 30,000 plus, and traditionally smaller clubs such as Brighton, Southampton and to a lesser extent Stoke, already at that 30,000 level (plus Derby and Cardiff City potentially coming up with bigger grounds than us), we need to elevate ourselves to the next level.  

 

As recent Premier League Champions, the most populous city in the East Midlands, a huge catchment area with no major clubs to the South until London and none to the east until Norwich, and with all three local rivals currently in a lower division, now is the time to tap into that.

Speaking to a Leicester legend the other week and the owners are not keen on celebrating anything pre-takeover.

Didn't realise we had the ministry of truth operating within the offices at the ground.

It's gonna be disappointing when all we get is a tier added onto the east stand and a few burger vans with a shit bar as part of 'fan park'.

Heated seats or a complimentary blue tartan travel rug for winter fixtures, I'm just getting too old for winter these days.

If Puel's still in charge, can we have the seats facing away from the pitch?

Otherwise known as safe seating 

We can all have one of these

The ridiculous thing is that if any club were to install rail seats, they would not be allowed to use them for safety reasons, and yet if that same stadium was to host a rugby match, or music concert, or in fact anything other than a football match, they would be considered perfectly safe.  If any club is serious about installing rail seats, surely there's enough to challenge the current legislation on a discriminatory basis.  I still can't comprehend how so many authorities deem standing still as being dangerous.  Meanwhile, jumping around like a loon when a goal goes in with the back of a plastic seat digging into your shins with people barging into you in considered perfectly safe. 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Additional seats sounds a good start

 

also a direct train line from Groby to the stadium that is free of charge to use would be great aswell.

I can't see them doing things halfheartedly- they have just announced plans to relocate from a perfectly adequate training ground to a state of the art complex. They want us, and King Power, to be seen in the highest regard- I think the plans will be pretty impressive when they get released.
