And Leuven youth system may well have a 'campus' at Seagrave. Off on antangent, does/will Seagrave have a formal name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilworthfox Posted 2 December 2020 Share Posted 2 December 2020 15 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Todays announcement that no under 18 foreign players can be signed from January onwards will have a huge impact to this, another reason we need to use our position as the best club in the midlands to get the best youngsters in the area, hopefully this is already happening. West Brom and Derby's academies are brilliantly ran. 2 Different metrics. Leicester do well (8/10 if I had to score) in the recruitment of the players they want.

Guppy Assist Posted 1 January 2021 Share Posted 1 January 2021 Anyone heard any updates on this now Seagrave is open and Evans is signed up? Next on the agenda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an odd one, isn't it? Do they throw caution to the wind and start the extension despite the outlay in cost, banking on the notion that work might be completed or at least be able to be done with limited disruption due to a delay in return to crowd capacity, and the summer break, compounded by the idea that there will be greater demand for tickets following the virus? Or is it simply too bigger gamble and too much outlay right now and something for summer 2022? Edited 1 January 2021 by Nick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudulike Posted 1 January 2021 Share Posted 1 January 2021 The club needs to go through the tortuous planning process before any money is committed to building work. That'll take months but we'll at least get to see the plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 1 January 2021 Share Posted 1 January 2021 The Club has been amazing and I'm certain it will be built. But with the year we've just had with Covid no one could complain if they deferred it for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 1 January 2021 Share Posted 1 January 2021 Could still be a couple of years off, at this rate. So many logistical issues to consider, then throw in Brexit and covid. I reckon they'd want at least a solid season of crowds being back in before even spending a penny. No idea how this might play out over the next few years.

demon_dog Posted 3 January 2021 Share Posted 3 January 2021 Suspect nothing will be announced until start of next season. If we make CL then we will earn a nice bit to help toward the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed the planning wont go in until the building has vacated. I’m not sure on the details but I suspect they won’t officially own it until then. Let’s just hope sufficient consultation with the council has taken place before the application so we get swift approval to proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 3 January 2021 Share Posted 3 January 2021 I heard there'd been a bit of a stand off with the company who were lined up to build it. Not sure if we are now seeking a new construction company or it will be resolved. Those plans that did the rounds a few months ago were quite old and it had all changed again.

Not sure why they would, there must be many scenarios where property purchases subject to planning approval. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it will be problem as such as I'm sure from the Council's perspective it's all been pre-planned by the Planning Dept so will just need the full Council to approve it subject to any objections. They'll need to allow time for those objections, not sure what's considered 'normal' but the Council themselves often put plans out that are just rubber stamping jobs but are then put out for public consultation like St Margaret's Bus Station rebuild.
