Looking at the KP buildings in Bangkok and the new training ground, they're all stunning architectural designs. I just can't imagine them considering this design as acceptable. I think their standards are much higher and the evidence suggest so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say, much the same as the Tigers are looking to build a hotel, in order to help finance the club!!! Our club is a subsidiary of King Power, the Tigers are an entity in themselves.

They haven’t confirmed it so it remains ‘possible’. if they didn’t say ‘possible’ then it would be assumed to be happening and they don’t need to place this expectation on themselves at a v difficult point in the financial progression of the club .....

Doubt it, additional expenditure up by £1.8m taking total spending on expansion plans are £4.4m. Doubt you’d spend that much to have second thoughts.

We’d be crazy not to do something about increasing capacity during the summer break Slightly easier for them to replace an old stand with a new one.I think the whole thing relies on adding residential flats to the scheme,and of course convincing the local council that it’s worth it and the extra traffic etc.So a fair way to go yet plus it’s Forest. It would be a shame if in five years time they end up with a bigger ground despite our recent success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 19 April 2021 Share Posted 19 April 2021 (edited) The club need to get on this asap. The amount of glory boys i'm hearing today saying well i'm gonna start supporting Leicester. Oh, it's amusing, whilst a little annoying, frustrating and i'm not keen on a load of turncoats and glory boys jumping on our....glory. Infact keep the stadium as it is so they can't jump on board!

Certainly not a crane base, no idea why they’d want to do that, can’t imagine groundskeeper willy would appreciate that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t have to, but equally the plan was for three tower cranes so having one on the pitch might interrupt game play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among other things It could be for one that they need to use during the Summer for certain elements of construction. Lay the concrete now, then even if it's a couple of years down the line it's ready to use . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
