I have a feeling they've cut the roof line back for similar proposed extensions in the future for the north and south stands as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even in general seating, making it easier to buy food and drink and making the food desirable (neat trick, would be great if the King Power would learn it) can really add the £££. Also, being able to buy merchandise once in the ground would also increase revenue. I still find it astonishing that as our owners are retail experts, the purchasing of food, drink and merchandise is substandard. There's a fortune to be made there if done well but we do it very badly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 24 November 2020 Author Share Posted 24 November 2020 6 hours ago, Leicester_Loyal said: 'THFC financial results out today for the year ending June 2020. Overall the club is reporting a loss of £63.9m in contrast to last year's profit of £68.6m. The club is predicting a loss of £150m next season if fans are not allowed back. On the up side - match day and catering receipts were £81.9m for the 14 Premier League games before COVID kicked in. That’s £5.85m per game. Astonishing.' Read the above statement if you're still wondering why we need to expand the stadium. We're so far behind the top 6/7 in terms of match day income, expanding will help bridge this gap and provide more stable income in the long term. Am I the only one who secretly wants the lockdown to continue indefinitely just so we can bankrupt Spurs? I mean I’m not saying I’m going to go to their first game back and cough on everyone but if I have to.... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that contract is ending soon and something better will come in (PLEASE). Compass are shite. My work canteen recently switched to them and everything went to shit immediately.

The only thing I know about Compass, is that I remember applying for a job with them (can't remember any more than that) that I didn't get before I worked for Samworths (@Charnwood Bakery).

The fact a game that long ago had cool features like that and now we just have pages and pages full of stats is one of the many reasons i hate that Football Manager just gobbled up all its competitors. Now we just get virtually the same game every year and not much character to anything. LMA was great. You've just made me miss it even more.

This is especially true when you consider many of the new mega-stadiums in the US function almost like duty free shops at airports once you go inside -- and it makes sense: "Captive" costumers with time to waste and money to burn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace Posted 24 November 2020 Share Posted 24 November 2020 (edited) Expect it to look very much like the King Power Bankok airport exterior, its amazing how we originally got away with paying just over £20 million for the construction of the stadium. We need a massive project like this if we want to compete with the top 6 and attract World class players Edited 24 November 2020 by Jace 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think stadia builds and expansions are so expensive these days for that reason. Wider concourses add so much to the build cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
