Genuine question - what do we need 14 pitches for?

How many teams do we have from First team down?

 

Allows for rotations of pitches for whatever reason, means groups can go off etc. Rather have way too many than not enough. 

 

Allows for renting out to international teams or european teams needing a place to train. The commonwealth in 22 for instance is in Birmingham. 

 

The training ground can be a revenue stream as well as a home for the club.

Worked with the mum of one of the leading grounds men, she said (he said) there weren't enough pitches at Belvoir Drive for all the age groups that train there and the amount of matches played.

We may mock the club continuously, but I do feel for Newcastle fans. They may be twats at times but imagine the pain of having a rich bastard ruin your club. 

We hit the jackpot with our owners, we may not be so lucky in the future and could end up like a Newcastle.

Leicester City Football Club Training Ground, Seagrave

Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Building

The primary hub of the Seagrave site, the building is named after the Club’s late Chairman and patriarch. An elite-standard training facility was a central feature of Khun Vichai’s vision for the Club, now being realised under the guidance of his son, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha.

The building includes all facilities for the Club’s professional men’s teams, football operations, offices, private accommodation, restaurant and First Team recreation. Its balconies overlook the First Team training pitches.

King Power Centre

The King Power Centre is the site’s most prominent structure. Its spectacular dome, built into the landscape, houses an air conditioned, artificial pitch and a media centre including press conference room, broadcast facilities and hospitality space.

Match Pitch 1

A 499-seater show pitch for limited use, including selected FA Youth Cup, PL2 and LCFC Women’s matches, serviced by designated changing facilities and broadcast compound.

Sports Turf Academy

A first-of-its-kind facility for the education and development of elite grounds staff and grounds services. The STA will aim to train future generations of grounds professionals for deployment in sporting settings around the world, while creating a research and developm

Too true. We really don't know how lucky we are. All this talk of Brendan potentially being tempted by Arsenal in the near future but he's going to feel like a king leading his first training session there. I do hope the buzz carries through to Boxing Day and we give Man Utd a proper pasting.

Anyone got a picture of the 499 capacity show pitch?

Area around the pitch doesn’t look fully finished/cleaned up, probably why it’s not been shown so much.

 

Press release says LCFC Women are playing there, if that’s true the total capacity will need upping to around 1,200 at least for it to reach WSL/Championship ground grading standards so that might be another reason it’s not complete yet.
