Having looked back I realise it wasn’t easy to find the information as it meant going to foxestrust website

An update on the stadium development outlined the need for re engagement with architects and planners to establish value in budget. SW confirmed that the development would not start in 2025 or 2026.
 

The implementation of safe standing would continue to be considered in parallel with the stadium development, with consultations being re engaged this season.

I'm sceptical whether expansion makes economic sense. Ticket sales are a small of the clubs income now. A 25% increase in capacity and therefore a 25% increase in ticket revenue isn't going to be a game changer even if we sell out every week. A lot of the extra income would have service the debt anyway.

The way things are going, I can see every game televised in this country in a few years, which is bound to affect the gate. We could end up with a white elephant. 

It will be more then that as corporate capacity will be a factor and no doubt its % of capacity will go up more proportionally, and a bigger active fan base means more merchandise sales etc.

 

Every game is already televised, and we wont be in the EPL every season with its huge TV money but still be subject to PSR.

 

Remember when we couldnt given Enzo his January signing.  That showed every little helps.

This is phase one though. They said on the open consultation meetings the capacity could go higher but I agree they should have expanded the kop along with the east stand in phase one. 

Given phase one seems to be a decade job, phase one should have been 48k, and then a decade later if we hitting 48k, at least 60k or so.

I know America is America, and England is England - but in reality, a large stadium can really bring in the cash if done correctly. U.S. stadiums basically are money factories for hours before and after a game. Of course, I know for different reasons, stadiums here don't want people hanging around that long, but the King Power isn't helped by horrible food and the fact that buying shirts/other products isn't set for impulse buying.

Hope they completely change the design in that time period

The actual figures for the season ticket waiting list would be interesting to see, Forest and Leeds have their numbers out there. It's entirely possible we will be overtaken by those two in terms of stadium expansion.

We don't have a season ticket waiting list. It's basically Fox Members with enough points to enter a ballot if they choose.

"His appointment at Leicester is his first in football in more than a year and the role will be centred around the “further development and expansion” of the King Power Stadium, signalling the club’s intent to push ahead with their expansion plans. 

 

The Foxes first outlined their ambition to expand the stadium in October 2021 when they applied for planning permission to increase its capacity by 8,000 seats. These plans were approved by the local council in December 2023, which the club said would prove to be “transformational for the city and the region.”

Tentatively pleased with that, he would have facilitated some decent stuff at Utd including their safe standing and singing sections, cheaper tickets for youth, removal of pre match shitty music. Hopefully he isn't immediately indoctrinated here.

OOooo don't think he'll fit in here, doesnt sound like one of us at all.

 

[Pita]

Sounds a bit more positive. Let’s hope they let him get on with the expansion 

[StanSP]

Let's hope our stadium doesn't leak... 

 

 

(good appointment though, good to see things hopefully progressing in all seriousness) 

[davieG]

Just watching the women playing and the stadium is for king power where’s the Leicester City FC.

I just don't understand the communication coming out of the club. This sounds like a real step forward, so its an easy press release to let the fans know there may be progress, rather than having the article drag out a 3 year old quote and leaving us to speculate. 

 

Yet we get articles about shop opening times, writing messages for programmes, kids writing in to their heroes etc in among the attempts to put a positive spin on an inept 3-0 thrashing. 

 

Its no wonder I go on the official site so rarely and always come away with the feeling that I've switched on to watch the news and have instead had to sit through a party political broadcast! 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Any news on this at all?

 

vital for our growth imho

[purpleronnie]

Looks like Southampton are looking to do a similiar redevelopment of their stadium and surrounding area.

 

I wonder who'll start first?

Getting this bloke in to improve the current offering in place of doing the expansion.....
