Stadium expansion

[coolhandfox]

You can see why the club are expending, with all the talk of FFP.

 

Staduim build costs are exempt from the calculations.

 

If you stick another 10,000, just on tickets sales you are looking at 9m odd just in the league, throw in the others stuff, like stand sponsorship, hospitality you are going to be around 13m-15m.

 

Which is roughly in the ball park of what we earned from the Europa League campaign in 20/21.

I have to say I find it bizarre the obsession some fans have about having empty seats.

..I would hazard a guess that most are equating the expenditure off the pitch to expenditure on the pitch!!!

  I think a preference for that money to be channelled to the pitch is the big bug bear.

I believe was the new years day fixture rearranged to a school night, so not that surprising…

Nah it was towards the end of last season

But the problem is that expenditures on the pitch are limited by FFP, while expenditures on the stadium are not. However, the increased revenue from the stadium expansion (tickets, concessions, corporate income) actually helps us increase what is allowed under FFP, aside from the other obvious benefits of a larger stadium.

The constructors will not do it on the never-never. They want a large amount up front unlike buying players. Do we have the money? Somebody should pin Top down with that question.

It was the New Year’s Day 2022 fixture rearranged to midweek in May. These things are easily checked if you want to bother 🤷‍♂️

Over 10,000 seats for blackburn still in a match to get to the quarter final. Laughable fan base. Expansion will be a joke

Too expensive and too many hoops to jump through to get tickets.

They not on general sale yet?

I don't know the specific justification for more seats but if it means a bigger concourse/toilets then that  works for me as the current set up is totally inadequate. Better egress from the seats would also help. You can just imagine the chaos there would be if they had to evacuate the stadium in a hurry. On that point why don't they let those in the lower level seats go out via the pitch side?

Amount of times i’ve been hit by someone elses splash back in the troughs would justify this whole expansion if they made the toilets bigger.

No worries mate everyone knows how quickly a flat Chang goes through you. 

[Mike Oxlong]

Maybe a reduction is required unless we’re thinking if getting a Little Mix gig there 

[marcymarc666]

I wonder how it will look.......empty

[Chrysalis]

Its clear we need an expansion, we have a waiting list for ST, and non regulars have a hard time getting tickets, its  the question of how much capacity not a do we need it.

 

However I dont think work will start any time soon if at all.

We’re getting relegated lad we’ll average 23k again

[Joe_1992]

Realistically, growing up me and my 2 mates supported Leicester(2008-2014). Then every mate and his date sudden you were ‘Leicester till I die’. If we get relegated at least we’d get rid of these ‘loyal supporters’.

Following the successful development of the Club’s world-class training facility in Seagrave, north Leicestershire, the Club is currently finalising agreements with Leicester City Council in order to obtain a formal grant of planning permission for the expansion of King Power Stadium and the development of its wider site (following the Council planning committee’s unanimous approval of the Club’s planning application in September 2022) – a long-term project that will further enhance and diversify the Club’s revenue generation capability.

It's a well known fact that increasing the size of the toilets simply leads to the size of every fans cock increasing to fill the added space.

Fabulous news as far as I am concerned

 

there is no way we will ever grow as a club unless we expand and keep looking to the future

 

if we can stay up this season it could help us look forward with positivity once more
