It's in need of some tlc now.

Seats need doing desperately, think the whole ground needs a fresh paint in all honesty.

Yeah it being officially Filbert Way would be superb but we know that wont happen it will get another sponsor name.

If the ground has to have another sponsor attached to it, just go back to Walkers Stadium at least it has Leicester links.

if we do have new owners a I think it would be a great tap in for them to get rid of the sky blue seats and call it Filbert Way and a great way to get fans on side quicker

Should've stuck with it's original name - Freeman's Wharf. That's where it is, not this made up Filbert Way thing.

Personally I'd prefer Filbert Way or Walkers Stadium (if it had to be sponsored)

Completely agree the seats are desperate for a refresh, wouldn't cost alot to do surely?

Yes.

Either that or the road next to it should have been New Filbert St and the ground called that.

They only need a blow torch.

 

You'd probably get volunteers to help and be done within a day.

Volunteers and a blow torch with the club as it is now? 

 

That's asking for trouble

This Filbert Way sign, situated along the main walkway to the stadium, has been cleaned ahead of the new season. Good to see. (The image had to be cropped so couldn’t get the background in).

 

Looks like the council have done some work to the other Filbert Way sign outside the Holiday Inn/Fox & Soar.

It also makes the plastic very brittle and prone to fade even faster.

In some sort of perverse way this may be a good sign. If the club are not maintaining the infrastructure it might be the case they are simply not putting capital into an asset they are soon to be selling. If it means seeing the back of the little amoeba and sidekick I’ll live with faded seats.

I would be more worried about the amount of bird shit they are covered in

There's so much that needs changing at the ground to my eyes. Not least in the away concourse, which has a 'show your colours' mural. I would argue it's never felt like home, but there was more originality about the place in the early days. It's as soulless now as it ever has been internally. Not a big fan of those panels on the outside either.

It definitely needs to have more Leicester about it which ain’t something you can necessarily explain to someone who doesn’t understand …

You could argue that architectually it is bland, dull and has few interesting features. However, soulless? After what it's been host to in it's reasonably short lifetime? Not many stadium's can boast a better history. And not just inside the stadium either. So many memories of high's, low's and tradegy to be described as soulless. I won't argue that a makeover isn't overdue but I have respect, if that's the right word, for it. I love the place.

Look how blue the seats were/are! 😩

 

In decline on and off the pitch

I am always surprised that clubs are willing to spend huge sums for new stadiums but won't spend anything on embracing the history, or making it look truly individual to the club, so many UK stadiums could be anywhere in the country could be any club.  The yanks do a much better job with this.

Obviously the seats need doing, there also needs to be more safe standing in the Kop but also I think some of the grey areas around Vomiterys (or however it’s spelt) could do we some decor. Maybe images from our history etc
