ozleicester Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 What a bizarre world we live in, when a multi hectare site with the latest and greatest buildings and facilities, can be built for the cost of one and a quarter Harry Maguires 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoyleFox Posted 5 August 2019 Share Posted 5 August 2019 It's only just bigger than Maguire's head, therefore only costs a bit more to build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfu Posted 7 August 2019 Share Posted 7 August 2019 In the LCFCQ magazine for the Wolves game Quote Also inside your first edition of LCFCQ for the 2019/20 season, we reveal the latest developments from the construction of the Foxes’ state-of-the art new training facility in Charnwood with exclusive imagery as the first steel frameworks start to take shape in north Leicestershire. https://www.lcfc.com/news/1300876/prez-justin--barnes-star-in-lcfcq-issue-9---on-sale-sunday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sol thewall Bamba Posted 9 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 9 August 2019 Looks amazing. Also love the fact that the onsite mini stadium has 499 seats, obviously to get around some kind of planning permit. The kind of shithousery we can all get behind. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted 9 August 2019 Share Posted 9 August 2019 14 minutes ago, StanSP said: Does that include newts?! I hope so! I will tell you a small story why I think this is important. When I was a lad, many years ago, there was a railway line about a half a mile away from where I lived that had a ditch running along side it and this ditch was about 800 yards long. Every spring this ditch would fill with water and I would cycle down to see the newts and frogs that would spawn there and of course to a young kid it was fascinating. We moved further away and I grew up and stop going there as often until one day I noticed that the whole ditch had been filled up along the whole length of the ditch. Why on earth would some one do that? Now generations of young kids don't get the simple pleasure of seeing newts and frogs spawn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachhere Posted 9 August 2019 Share Posted 9 August 2019 Someone I know just randomly dropped into conversation the other day that he is working on the management of the build (don't know why he didn't see that as a priority to share before, but hey!). He also worked on the Man City training facility and he's equally impressed with our plans. On a more negative note, it sounds like there are some unforeseen challenges to the build which might mean opening on schedule will be of a challenge. We will see! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that challenge be trying to get in and out of the place, as posters have informed us of that danger junction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love that. Is that a realistic possibility? Some sort of guided tour maybe. Edit: If it's not, a video version would be good, or a virtual 3d model you could look around.

What they should regularly do is have some open training sessions, even if it is exclusive to STH's and members. This is certainly very common in Germany and helps keep the club/players/fans in touch. It would be a great idea to introduce that here too. They could even use the training "stadium" to hold such sessions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
