Filbert Street - The Legendary Home of Leicester City Football Club

[kushiro]

Is this you on the roof? May 2001 v. Spurs. I used to take a lot of photos in the last days of Filbert Street. Most were rubbish, but I love this one. I'd love to know who these three City fans are. Same family, I presume. Why were you on the roof that day? Do you still go to games? That was the only time I ever went up there.

RE: redevelopment of land.

I seen a few weeks ago what Arsenal have done to Highbury since moving, for anyone that hasn't seen it its defo worth a Google search.

I really wished we done something similar, by the looks of it they have kept the ground the same but changed the stands into luxury flats, where the pitch was they now have landscape that looks quite like a football pitch.

I'm not sure how correct I am but I think Man City have done something similar but not as well planned as Highbury although Maine Road still has the original centre spot.

It's a shame the state filbert street is in now and how we have no opportunity to be reminded of such a large piece of history to our club

That big block of student accommodation/flats is so ugly. Does make me laugh that the residents objected to re-development on the grounds that a bigger East Stand would block out their light and then that humongous eye sore (bigger/higher than any football stand) has been built instead. Shame that the rest of the land is such a mess.

For bloody houses, what a waste

Surely we can all pitch in and build it again.

The owners should buy it, re-build it as a stadium and let the under 21's and any other Leicester city team use at as there home ground.

I've still got my seat if that helps.

I remember my dad ripping his seat out as well!

Perhaps Rachel will buy it for us?

Build an academy stadium like Manchester City on the site. You know it makes sense.

Be good if someone clever could superimpose a picture of the old gaff onto that !

Walked around it before one game last season and it's so depressing this huge wasteland on what was such a special place. They've even taken the Leicester City graffiti which was there down. Putting something football-related like 5-a-side pitches on it would be great to see, maybe with a few LCFC-related murals dotted about.

Makes me sad looking at this

Club should buy it and build a Beer Village on it for pre match bevies.

Good revenue stream for FFP, I'm there.

Appeciate everything our owners have done for us, but if they managed to do something to commemorate Filbert Street, that'd be iconic.

 

Maybe it could be brought up in the next meeting between fans and club?

What about this...

 

 

[Fox92]

Build a museum there, or something you could walk around, even if it's relativity small. As well as some our honors we've had the likes of Shilton, Banks, Lineker etc who are among the greatest players ever so I'm pretty sure the collection would be decent enough to attract fans - Leicester City and opposition - to visit.

Anyone know, roughly how much this would cost?

This a great picture, thanks, what I actually meant was the Filbo image sort of on top of the old site with the flats ect there, would give a clear pic of what went where, sorry I am probably talking nonsense (as usual)
