Well that's much more plausible. Apologies for my brain fart this morning
DoveValleyFox Posted 29 June 2021 Posted 29 June 2021 So. It has reached 100 pages and still nothing actually happening. Probably going to comfortably hit 1 million views before we get anything

Chicago Foxile Posted 29 June 2021 Posted 29 June 2021 I live in hope that this thread will go hot and I’ll find stadium development plans from the club!

A thread on FoxesTalk going hot and it being because of something related to the actual thread are two very different things. 2

Do they think you can dot this without planning permission. Then once submitted it could take 2yrs to pass and probably another year before work starts. 1

You would hope the architects have been working very closely with the council planners so that most (if not all) issues have been ironed out by the time an application is made. The delays will be determined by the amount of public opposition it provokes.

They didn't fulfil their transport conditions last time when they where required to set up a Park & Ride although they did try to get Leicestershire CC to let them use their spaces at County Hall. Maybe a contribution to the existing P&Rs with a few diversions in although the big problem with any transport solution is moving 40,000 people all at once after the match is finished even P&R would solve that. Maybe the Concourses and new facilities serving food and drink and entertainment, videos etc after the game would help slow down the dispersal rate.

If they had a station at the KP, that would help with dispersal i'm sure. I realise that's potentially a bit of a pipe dream, but that line could help to take fans right back across the county, which is a solution we are sorely lacking a the minute. (as a region, not necessarily as a club!) 4

Did they go bust or just decide that building stadiums was too much trouble? They would've been paid if it wasn't for a disgraced and sacked ex-employee and his Monster agent. 2

I think we only owed them £5m or something like that.
