LCFC Women To Go Professional

[dynamark]

Whats wrong with viccy park loads of room for spectators (if you are tall) easy access a bit difficult to get the gate money in and across the road to the pub after.State of the art changing rooms but you have to put your own posts up.

Big upgrade would be an understatement - it's a minefield of ownership issues. The existing club have to run things off a generator, they don't have access to the bar. 

 

With the new TV deal, it will having a multi-range of cameras set up and the ability to host the broadcasting vans etc. Most of the WSL play at Conference or League 2 grounds. Typically we don't have a ground of that nature in the county of Leicestershire - I'm assuming they have ruled out Holmes Park and outside of Hinckley/Leicester Road, the grounds aren't the best. I only one I can think of is Loughborough University but I didn't realise they hosted a women club already 

...any reason why Holmes Park can not be updated to accommodate the specifications required!!!

Holmes park whilst a good pitch has little to no parking and little room for spectators and in a residential area. Nice pitch but not really suitable..

[CosbehFox]

Holds just over a thousand as well. You’d expect they’d want more. Hinckley is ideal but it’s a really complex ownership situation there

Sunday’s potential title clincher against London City Lionesses is now gonna be live on the FA Player, 2pm kick off 👍

...we need to get them locally within the city which would help with the growth of attendances!!!

     The car park near the old ground is not quite big enough to build a ground and mini stadium and then to sell the Holmes park setup land for residential redevelopment.

They don't own Holmes Park -

 

 If you're looking for a venue to hire for your upcoming Birthday, Wedding Reception, Conference, Meeting or any other event, then look no further than Holmes Park!
Based out of Holmes Park in Whetstone Leicester, The Leicestershire & Rutland County FA is very proud to have such a great facility.

I had my 21st at Holmes Park. Took me two minutes to stagger home after. I suspect Simon Grayson only came because it was a three minute stagger home for him!

I know it’s been mentioned previously but I think this’d be perfect 

 

[CosbehFox]

Sad to see that ground look so run down so quick with the change in football club in it

It would surely but someone mentioned there are complex ownership issues. I'm unsure of what nature. 

A shame the County has such a good facility and it's unused.

Most of it was just fields though all that time ago in history 🤣

Awful shame the ground isn't utilized by an actual Hinckley team, who ground share with Barwell.

Please don’t say it’s going to be one of those days.

Missed a penalty, still 0-0

[LC/FC]

Not watching as I'm currently out but why is Flint not playing if we want goals? Top goalscorer... Or are these last few games for experiments?

[Vlad the Fox]

Getting closer, seem a little more threatening this half so far.
