Looks something like that avobe and what Babs has said. Biggest in the Midlands and up there with the likes of Sunderland, Newcastle, Man City/United, Arsenal.. If it looks even remotely like that mate I'll be made up. I really think this club is going places.
breadandcheese Posted 20 August 2018 Posted 20 August 2018 Ok. I'm excited. Is there a proposed date when the plans are going to be released so we actually have something to ejaculate over?

I really think this club is going places. 2 tiers on 3 of the stands and i believe we explored the option of extending the main stand but due to the glass it can't be done. I think** they're trying to tie it in with the England game to say look what we're doing. The current ground you know, wont be visble in a few years. Weve got to build down to go up so there will be some sort of over hang.
st albans fox Posted 20 August 2018 Posted 20 August 2018 I guess that the ground expansion and training ground are projects that have nothing to do with ffp - therefore the owners can invest their dosh in infrastructure - given their background they will want to make it the best it can possibly be. do the football club own the ground or does king power ??

If King Power are paying for the stadium and training facilities it's a real statement of intent from the owners.

Bablemikey Posted 20 August 2018 Posted 20 August 2018 Have any timescales been suggested for all this yet?

It must frustrate them that they can’t invest more into the playing side but infrastructure is a fixed asset on their king power balance sheet ......

Ric Flair Posted 20 August 2018 Posted 20 August 2018 Would we actually fill a 48,000 stadium? I think at a push now we'd get around 36-38k for most weekend games, around 30-32k for midweek dross in the winter and maybe just over 40k for the big games. I just don't see 48k ever going so it's a brave move.
