It is within the stadium. And to prove it you stand and watch then throw you out.

I have stood 99% of the time since the new stadium opened thrown out 0 times

Well, next time you stand up and refuse to sit down try telling that to the stewards as they throw you out and get you banned. You can then feel all warm and justified that it wasn't illegal.

Also depends where you're sat in the ground though, doesn't it. If I stood up all game smack bang in the middle of the family end, I'm going to be asked to sit. Standing at the back or an edge is different. 

Claiming you've never been chucked out is great, but where you are in the ground changes everything.

Thats almost 6000 days - surely you must be tired by now?

If the owners intend to increase the capacity by circa 10,000, and want to do this by increasing just one stand, then we’ll be looking at something like Liverpool’s new main stand 

 

thats massive!

Multiple people on here have said that isn't the case.

What Sol said.

 

Seriously our club is in the best postion ever and we're just showing off now in terms of our new training campus and the extended/new stadium. I say new because of what it'll look like and youll hardly see any of the current stadium.

Would be nice if those of us in the dark had some lovely artist impressions to gawp at.

 

How much longer ??

Some have mused about announcements on the day of the England game. whilst Maguire's new contract might be nice to reveal that day, I doubt the FA would be too pleased with a stadium development reveal on the same day as their friendly.  maybe early next week to promote maximum publicity for the club.

Perhaps it will be a day or two before the England match so that commentary teams have an angle to discuss when setting the scene for the TV audience.

Or something to talk about instead of the dire football on display.

Adding them numbers might be a problem with planning, due to the transport infrastructure being shite in Leicester, they need to suggest adding lots of cycle lane that nobody uses, and the Lord Mayor will sign anything off

I read online that were having 2 new huge tv screens behind both goals so does this put to bed that the kop and family stands wont be involved in any stadium expansion?

The one Newcastle put up nearly came down on its own.

I get that, but as an announcement about expansion is imminent i would of thought the club would of incorporated any additions into the development thats going to happen.

That’s a long term project which could take 5 years but will hopefully be quicker.  The screens are needed now for those of us of a certain age .............  it can’t  be that expensive to take them down and put them back up again

What do we reckon are our chances of there being an announcement tomorrow then?

When has anything, ever, been announced the day of a match? And an international too? 

 

Cant see it. ? slim chance, I’d say.

I've heard everything is going into getting the planning through for the training ground. Once that's sorted then its full focus on the stadium expansion.

Word is that VAR is expected to be used in the Premier League next season, and the owners feel that It is important that we are ready, when that happens, to be able to communicate VAR decisions clearly to our fans.

The current screens have served a purpose, but aren’t seen by our owners as very effective at communicating right across the pitch due to their limited size (And awkward position in the corners).

 

New screens on a stadium extension wouldn’t be up for 4-5 years, which is 3-4 years too late for the start of VAR.

 

(On a side note, bigger screens also equals increased advertising revenue.)
