Except the land isn't owned by the city? It's owned privately?

 

Councils kop to much flak and 90% of the time it's because people have absolutely no clue what they're talking about. It's incredible

 

That's a great story, Peter Soulsby.

I had foolishly hoped that KP would purchase the land back and build a Filbert Street mini replica as a bar or something.

Really bland looking designs.

 

the only redeeming feature (if kept)

 

Wonder what the architect's brief was?

'We want something dull, bland and forgettable. A total cop-out. Oh, and don't forget to make it look ugly and cheap,

'Maybe incorporate the old football ground entrance just to emphasise how far we've regressed in the last 100 years'

Maybe the club ought to consider a multi storey car park as part of its stadium expansion plans. I suppose that would hinder the aesthetics of the possible arena and area surrounding the stadium. 

That would lead to even more fans leaving early!

Isn't the housing inside the new training ground itself? 

Theres accommodation for 1st team players and certain accommodation space for academy but they are also after of site houses. A mate of mine was approached for his by the club, they also apparently made a late bid on the old convent in rearsby as well but it's already being converted having been on the market for ages.

 

Seems they missed the boat on that one.

On site parking doesn't work. 

Dig an Underground car park...Encourage fans to Not Drive alone...Bring a Full car, 1/3-2/3 off Parking price..!! Mis-use Double Parking price!!

if a Shopping Center/Mall was added,the Businesses should Stamp ticket for Non fan reduction...

% Of reserved Parking place for opposition fans. 5-10% reduction on Full car..(Bring uninterested wife/friends/Relations  to Shop or visit city/Mall)
