Jaspa Posted 16 October 2018 Posted 16 October 2018 Nahh honestly it'll probably be referred to as Park Hill and the Birch will probably have the canteen named after him

Rusko187 Posted 16 October 2018 Posted 16 October 2018 Just to add my view this is a fantastic move by the club, a lot of rich owners have chucked money at first team players and not touched the infrastructure whilst our owners have done both if not infrastructure more. We're incredibly lucky to have them.

urban.spaceman Posted 16 October 2018 Posted 16 October 2018 It's weird the club haven't announced anything yet. Though I imagine they're sorting out the scheduling for getting started.

I'm guessing they won't be able to sign up contractors until it's legally sewn up.

urban.spaceman Posted 16 October 2018 Posted 16 October 2018 McLaren tipped for £120m Leicester City training complex Grant Prior 4 days ago McLaren Construction is understood to have won the contract to build a new £120m training complex for Leicester City. The plans were given the green light by Charnwood Borough Council on Thursday night. The Enquirer understands McLaren fought off competition from Buckingham, Kier and McLaughlin & Harvey to land the job. A source close to the project said: “Nothing has been made official yet but we all know that McLaren has bagged this one.” Futuristic designs for the training centre at the former Park Hill Golf and Fishing Centre site have been drawn-up by architect KSS. The masterplan includes 12 full-size pitches, together with various smaller pitches and targeted outdoor training areas, including a full-size indoor pitch within a signature building that moulds into the landscape. A training facility building for the academy and First team players will include medical, tactical, training and dining facilities. The complex will also include a Sports Turf Academy which will train the next generation of groundspeople and a show pitch with a 499-seat stand to allow under-23s and U18s to play in a ‘match environment’. The project is being overseen by Leicester City CEO Susan Whelan and Director of Estates and Infrastructure Mags Mernagh. KSS has been involved in a host of major football projects including Wembley Stadium, Anfield and the Tottenham training centre.

ealingfox Posted 16 October 2018 Posted 16 October 2018 Thought he was still at QPR. Not sure I want him managing such a significant project after what happened at Derby.
Spudulike Posted 16 October 2018 Posted 16 October 2018 £120m now ?? Thanks to Riyad for half of it. How much is Chilwell worth now ??

Alex_LCFC Posted 16 October 2018 Posted 16 October 2018 They did a good job of that site near junction 21

These projects always end up over budget. Seen 'best in Europe/UK' mentioned a couple of times, £120m is also the amount St.Georges Park actually cost around 2012 and that it's only Burton and Loughborough Uni Complexes are in the region on top of all that
urban.spaceman Posted 17 October 2018 Posted 17 October 2018 The thread for this over at Skyscraper City is bloody entertaining. There's a Forest fan on there suggesting not only that they don't care about us, but also that Nottingham is a much better city because it's retail options - one of the best in the country according to the Nottingham Post - and the Forest's history is better and will never be beaten. Oh, and, apparently we cheated our way to title. But hey - at least we were alive for it. https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=2101629&page=1 They don't care about us.
