Basically an application to continue using the surrounding site as a car park, but there’s an interesting bit I didn’t know about before about the council planning a free hop-on-hop-off electric bus service around the city from 2022.

That will be decent and will save me a taxi fare to the game every week from city centre.

Unfortunately it explicitly states all past and present FoxesTalk members are ineligible.

Lots of thought gone into this with FFP, revenue from the accommodation and new megastore will be added to allow more spending.

I would love to see this done in a sustainable way. But the cost/objections and structural remedies that you get with unused railway lines would be astronomical. Plus there's HS2 and other new connecting rail lines being designed and constructed in the north. 

 

Ivanhoe would easily be into 10 figures.

HS2 doesnt serve Leicester, however I am not necessarily supporting this because it goes by a lot of houses and residents have to be considered.

First complaint on the planning page. Funnily enough they live at the new development opposite the stadium over the river. Perhaps they should have thought about living near a stadium before they moved in.

Most of the complaint I feel is very valid, its a bit unfair to say "tough luck you chose to live there", someone wouldnt be informed of these things before moving in, and a lot of these problems are easily fixed by the club changing their routine.

 

The point was also made if the club had co operated and changed these routines then the complaint probably wouldnt exist.

 

I guess the complainer having hit a brick wall by contacting the club is hoping the council insists these issues are resolved for planning permission to be granted.

Using the planning system to air existing grieivances isn't likely to carry any weight. Nor should it. 

 

Anybody with a modicum of foresight would've done due diligence before making a major residential investment. 

 

Some people like to moan.

Totally agree. Have been arranging mortgages for 30yrs and a standard part of the process is local searches and any disputes etc. Either way, what kind of person buys a property nearby and doesn’t realise there’s a football stadium nearby and all that goes with it?

Was the development not built at the time that the club openly announced tentative plans for this though? 

 

Additionally points 1 & 2 are actually things which would be resolved by the development.

I can’t believe that the noise from the generators is stopping them from using their outside space, noise caused by 30,000 people in the area is fine but they draw the line at generator noise

 

the placement of the stage could be moved but will 100 yards change anything? The stage is already pointing away from Watkin Road 

it either points towards the car showroom or points towards the stadium diagonally away from Watkin Road 

Not going to comment on the tannoy situation but can understand about the parking situation, I live around a mile from the Stadium and we get quite a bit more traffic on match days

Wouldn't of been informed??? They moved about 400 yards away from a football stadium what did they expect??

Jeez, that really is frightening. Shudder. So incredibly short sighted. 

 

Thank God that never happened as we wouldn't be the club we are now if it had. 

[baldeagle]

If I remember right when they got down to details one of the main reasons this didn’t go go ahead was because the Tigers didn’t want to put any money in just stadium share and pay rent .

I remember going to the fan meeting with the chief executive about that, everyone was disgusted and tigers fans were referring to city as bailing out the poor football club. They argued it was needed to keep the club going. Someone asked how much it would actually generate and the answer was £1 million a season. What a price to pay it would have been.

 

And look now, we're worth about 10x what tigers are and they can't even find a buyer!

“Noise generated by the stadium” righto, we will whisper from now on.

[FoxyLeon]

Given the extra 8000 capacity, how much do you think realistically, we can increase our wage budget by, so we're still not breaking FFP restrictions?

 

200k a week?

That looks very like the King Power with a few Tigers logos here and there. What is with the Plymouth Argyle is it a match program?
