Heymister2015 276 Report post Posted 30 October 2019 Imagine what the new stadium will look like! I think they'll spend £200m on it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heymister2015 276 Report post Posted 3 November 2019 went today and the elephant wasnt there! Half of it was in the compound behind! Other than that its well put together and just needs the appropriate weather to put in more plants and Id definitely put a statue of vichai in there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rachhere 1,363 Report post Posted 7 November 2019 Apologies if I have missed this, but how do you access the garden - is it just a case of walking beyond the Kop, or do you go down the little road which leads to car park E? thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lestagirl 127 Report post Posted 7 November 2019 Yes just walk to where the Kop is and it’s over to your left. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stripeyfox 3,925 Report post Posted 14 November 2019 Yes I went down with my son before the game on Sunday just before it got dark. It's a really lovely space, and I think will only continue to look better as the plants mature. Nicely done by the club, real top effort! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heymister2015 276 Report post Posted 14 November 2019 Hotel/concert arena, pulling the concourses out family/kop and adding another tear with hospitality,changing rooms,directors boxes etc werent come cheap! I think £200m is a fair estimate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think £200m is a fair estimate I think that just because its football everyone has an inflated view of costs. You could build two entire KPs for that sort of money. Its not like they have to buy the land Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These guys live in the big world and will spend big on a world class venue! Mclaren will move on from the new training ground and start on the ground! They dont construct low budget stadiums like the walkers stadium was in the first place. All of the Eon site and brownfield has been purchased and the space will be maximised for something special.

Spudulike 2,098 Report post Posted 25 March No game to mark Vichai's birthday this year. I'm sure there will be something appropriate in his garden. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be his birthday on Saturday (4th April). Am thinking of visiting the memorial garden area then (if it's open to the public?). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Work down the road from the stadium, and thought about this possibility. But, now bearing in mind these government precautions being in place currently (that slipped out of my mind in my post above..), will erase this idea. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha to be honest my first thought was I could go, but reality kicked in and it was no I can't, I suppose if you're nearby it could be in your daily exercise? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
