Jace Posted 23 November 2020 Share Posted 23 November 2020 These pics certainly look genuine, they match the blueprints released from KSS from the earlier consultations. Its certainly not in the early stages this has been planned since 2016 the club just couldn't progress until they can obtain the building behind the east stand which we knew wasn't going to be possible until 2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2607 Posted 23 November 2020 Share Posted 23 November 2020 I don't know how people can criticise the planned expansion. It looks great and just shows how we are developing as a club. "blue cyst" or not, it's just amazing to be an in era with the club where things like this are even possible. what a time to be an LCFC fan!

UHDrive Posted 23 November 2020 Share Posted 23 November 2020 I'm not sure who came up with the 16k extra but I never envisaged that that could be done without having a 3 tiered square stand. I love the design and it leaves open the proposed increase/extension to the south and north stands. That would be a lot easier before tinkering with the current west stand, which I believe can be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing isn't it, I think there's still some fans who believe we should have never left Filbert Street 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the indoor arena is included in the £200 million that's not that bad. ..I am not sure what taking money from the club means!!! Are you suggesting that the clubs finance is raided in order to meet the cost or we use the revenue from our league position finish to pay. As a model of self sustainability we cannot afford to contribute from our income anything to help with this cost. I would be shocked and incredibly grateful should the owners choose to once again invest in us by putting their hands in their own pockets once again.

It might be in this thread but as originally described to me the ground will look like a C shape on a angle.. them mock ups look about right tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can afford it, we turn a profit about every year and can always sell assets to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StanSP Posted 23 November 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 23 November 2020 Still maintain we should have gone for something like this. (seats being blue obviously, calm down) Does it look like a blue cyst? No. Can away fans be sat in the tiny stand behind the goal? Yes. Can the family stand be on the opposite side? Yes. Should this be the way forward? Yes. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too keen on selling a player every year to finance acquisitions or to finance infrastructure. I think we should spend money on infrastructure. Players come and go but we'll have the stadium and increased income source and stature for many years. Also I'm not suggesting that we pay it off all in one go but maybe 20 million a year over 10 years or 10 million over 20. Thats totally manageable especially with increased ticket revenues.

Taking £20m out of any available funds over 10 years just reduces or ability to finance on field purchases. If extra revenue from additional seating and from other developments equates to £20m or less inclusive of interest charges then it may be possible. I am not saying that it will be an ideal situation.

Foxin_Mad Posted 23 November 2020 Share Posted 23 November 2020 Looks phenomenal to be honest, if ticket prices are reasonable we will fill it. That and the training centre, really is pushing the club to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but the 20 million will include paying for the training ground. I'm sure if there's a couple of years where we make a small loss because of the stadium king power would pay the difference but I see that being the exception rather than the norm. I think we will be expected to be self sufficient while paying for the stadium. The alternative would be to keep playing in a 32000 seater stadium for the rest of time which is no solution at all. Ambitious clubs invest in infrastructure alongside playing staff and that how I see us doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that it was mentioned before and that is one reason they cant do music there.... haven’t read specifics though.... The original stadium build had ‘future expansion allowance’ removed from the foundations so they’re not big enough for additional load. hence the knock it down and build again approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffschlupp Posted 23 November 2020 Share Posted 23 November 2020 I make it that the east stand must have about 9.2k seats (roughly the same as west stand, with family stand and kop at just below 7k each). If you are going to 40-42k then you are looking at the new stand holding 17-19k people, aren't you? Is that feasible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doing that, it would be a huge drain on our finances. Edited 23 November 2020 by Babylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 23 November 2020 Share Posted 23 November 2020 Looks to me like there’s a bit of expansion on the north stand there with an overhang out the back out it. Looks like that could potentially be where some extra seats come from? (A small upper tier on the Family Stand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
