I bet they're semi-pleased they didn't tbh, technically the current ground isn't city centre but farming themselves all the way out to Clifton wouldn't have been of any benefit.

TV screens?") I imagine they are security barriers used to prevent vehicles from driving across high volume areas. No doubt they will be decorative with some sort of LCFC branding. Arsenal have something similar outside their ground. I think they are to close to the stadium for that. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicesterseddon Posted 3 June 2020 Share Posted 3 June 2020 Forest’s expansion ‘plans’ were never more than a computer mock-up. I doubt anyone below the PL is going to be building anything anytime soon tbh. Even with us though, I doubt there will be much progress with the expansion given the corona crisis. I had expected to hear something concrete (so to speak) over the summer but doubt that will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea but think it would look a little out of place next to a shiny new stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted 3 June 2020 Share Posted 3 June 2020 Still talk of moving the tunnel to the East Stand. The exterior of the new stand will be shithot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the stuff relating to mains and service runs etc will be in line with digging and piling what people mentioned occurred last summer I agree that it's too much for "a possibility", but anyone who suggested piling took place is misguided. There's no way at this stage they would be doing groundworks for a stand extension before they've even submitted the planning application. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be redoing the whole stand or just building on top of it? I sit near the middle of the east stand so wonder what it would mean for my seat.

They want that side to be the new face of the ground as apprently more people come from Burnmoor St, Raw Dykes Road than the other way. Supposedly a glass facade(right word?) And itll light up like Bayern Munchen etc 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHDrive Posted 3 June 2020 Share Posted 3 June 2020 Looking at the drawing there seems to be a giveaway in the roof design. It looks like they are tapering the roof from the kop/family stand to up and over the extension area. Looking at the size and numbers then there must be 2 stands to get the numbers touted.

Mullet1 Posted 3 June 2020 Share Posted 3 June 2020 Think it will be a brand new stand. Plenty of room behind to build then move into place. That would be so much better then any design involving the current east stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piling probably not the best term - but they were trial digging. Probably to confirm foundations size of the existing structure and service runs from the plans/CAT scans.

walkerleeds Posted 3 June 2020 Share Posted 3 June 2020 Any talk of the extension involving The Kop? If so, is there an email address where I can beg/ suggest they make it two tiered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make for a better atmosphere which I’m sure we can all agree we need. And maybe swap ends so it replaces the family stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the brand new stadiums have 80’s era modernist designs. The Amex gets lauded but it’s still boring and characterless. Glass and steel facades all blur into and look more like shopping centres than football grounds. Ibrox (as a ground) is infinitely more appealing than the Emirates because it looks like a football ground whereas the Emirates looks a generic modern, multi sports stadium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
