I wonder how much input our groundsman have in this initial process of building pitches? The best qualified for sure. Bit like the fans when it comes to the stadium expansion.

About time someone with a drone had a look at it. Bloody hell, still can’t quite believe how big the complex is going to be. It’s truly awesome.

Given they're building a turf academy specialising in producing the best quality pitches, I'm guessing they were most likely consulted on the building of the pitches

Thanks for this mate, I've seriously underestimated the scale of this, bloody hell.

Awesome. Has the 499 seat arena been started yet? Couldn't see any sight of it on that video.

Neighbours are fuming again in the documents section...

£100m for all of that and yet the Tigers main stand cost £60m as did the Curve.

 

Might get the contractors to do my extension

Post some of them please

[SemperEadem]

Yeah that is huge.

[baldeagle]

Absolutely huge

Silly question perhaps, but I’ve read that the new training centre “will be the most advanced in Europe” 

 

what actually does does this mean? Particularly with Liverpool building a new training centre for 2020.

lol Tigers main stand cost about £15m, a figure which is sourced in two old news articles on this forum page https://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=731484&page=17&langid=5 and even quoted by then head coach Richard Cockerill.

 

Can only assume your efforts to source the £60m figure you made up in your head were minimal.

[Collymore]

Is that an artificial 'Old John' I can spot or just a mound of dirt from excavation? 

 

If you can't buy Bradgate Park, build your own!

£60m for Tigers main stand! What's it made out of, gold and diamonds? 

[Collymore]

I hope they offer tours when it's completed. Looks like it's going to be amazing.

I think they’re up for sale at that price

As long as it doesn’t hamper their long term plans for us, I’d be all for King Power investing in the Tigers and even the County Cricket team. While some of the decisions have been controversial we have never been more secure and stable off the pitch. Would be great to see them further strengthen their ties to Leicester.

That’s a twist on what was actually said. It’s not going to be THE most advanced.

Liverpool's only cost £50 million. Small club mentality.

Is ours bigger then ?? Just need some extra ammunition for when the local Liverpool plastic starts patronising lil' ol Leicester in a couple of weeks time.
