The only thing I saw was a Instagram account that did not look too legit. Can't really believe that stand was just sat in a builders yard for years without anyone knowing.
OntarioFox Posted 22 March 2019 Posted 22 March 2019 Dunno why people keep suggesting a 'fan zone' there - it's pretty obvious that the expansion plan is going to include one behind the east stand if / when it goes ahead. Obviously a shame to lose the hallowed turf, but the boat has sailed, the land is a dump and the city needs homes.
Leicesterpool Posted 22 March 2019 Posted 22 March 2019 I luv it to be turned into a park, have an area where people to have a bit kick about... the idea of the playing on some turf that was once the home of Leicester City sounds quite exciting. Maybe also a small area for another memorial garden. Also most importantly maybe a great area for some statues to be put up of legends of the past... Keith Weller, Gordon Banks, The Birch!, Gary Lineker. The Vichai statue I'd look at putting nearer King Power due to the name and he was more associated with the new stadium of course.

If we are to redevelop the King Power stadium it would be better for the fans if the surrounding area is somewhere the fans can hang around and enjoy. In Leicester, that would die on its arse. Even more so that stretch of town when the students piss off. I don't get the want to have a drink right near the ground anyway, it's not far to walk from a decent boozer in the city centre.

It's rather boring the surrounding area around the King Power stadium, wouldn't it be great if they make it a entertainment paradise.
dyanmark Posted 22 March 2019 Posted 22 March 2019 It a real shame that it sits derelict but no one in their right mind is going to do anything there but housing that get a return on investment.Hopefully the KP investment will go into the area behind the east stand.I would suggest you have a look at something like the MK dons stadium which is very good plus hotel and conference facility that can earn every day of the week.
TheLittleBigMan Posted 23 March 2019 Posted 23 March 2019 I vote for more student flats. Christ we need them, and they are awesome to look at. If not, I want a giant bouncy castle.

davieG Posted 23 March 2019 Posted 23 March 2019 Shame about the boring rectangular blocks but at least they've tried.

Guest Mee-9 Posted 23 March 2019 Posted 23 March 2019 It's about time they did something there. It looks awful that wasteland.
David Hankey Posted 23 March 2019 Posted 23 March 2019 This is just another grotspot that Soulsby and his cronies have allowed to materialise. Redevelopment here along with many other areas around the city should have been tackled long ago.
Spudulike Posted 23 March 2019 Posted 23 March 2019 I thought that Art Deco entrance had been long lost ?? Guessing that's it's a remake ??

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 28 March 2019 Posted 28 March 2019 It's just so heart breaking to look at now. When I recall some of football's greatest legends playing there, it takes some imagination to believe it ever happened. Totally gut wrenching.
Ted Maul Posted 28 March 2019 Posted 28 March 2019 Pretty average blocks of flats but the old main stand gates are a nice nod to the past that could quite easily have been overlooked.
