To the right of the drawing is labelled as the Energy Centre, so it looks like the club is re-locating that office as part of the deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most interesting is the white box immediately above the memorial garden. It is currently unlabelled so this could be the arena being mentioned. I really can't see student accomodation being built there either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 3 June 2020 Author Share Posted 3 June 2020 I suspect that it’s just another “possibility” design like they did with the training ground. The Eon building is rumoured to be up for sale in December too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 3 June 2020 Share Posted 3 June 2020 Unclear what the status is of the National Grid building behind the East Stand. Last I heard there was an agreement to purchase last autumn time. Its been quiet since unless I've missed something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Coast Fox Posted 3 June 2020 Share Posted 3 June 2020 (edited) (I forgot to click the quote button so i'll add it here "What are the two large curved structures outside of the east stand? 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. Edited 3 June 2020 by Gold Coast Fox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be amazing! The new walk museum expedition was a success and something more permanent would be popular with people visiting the city/ground on non matchday's too.

There were plans to have one at the stadium when we moved but Admin put paid to it. They got in loads of stuff in on loan from fans but it’s all in storage I believe.

thesilverfox Posted 3 June 2020 Share Posted 3 June 2020 Those curved sections in front of the East Stand could be the digital display of all of the shirts/scarves etc that were left after the crash? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does look a bit weird to have just the one side done, but if it makes for more capacity then it's surely a good thing. The KP is a rather generic stadium and yet I've come to love it. Mainly because of the memories made there, but despite being rather basic there's IMO nothing "bad" about it, it's just not on the same level as some of the bigger and better stadiums in the country.

I think it will look good (if the design shown is accurate). At the end of the day there is nothing particularly special about the KP and you can't polish a turd, but the curved roof is much better than Cardiff's "bolted on" monstrostity. You'd expect a significant upgrade in concorse facilities in the new stand (perhaps the "premium" seats alluded to in the questionaire last year). If it gets us to 42,000 , that would make us the 9th largest in the PL (ahead of Chelsea) and 8th once Villa get relegated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
