Saxondale Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 Absolutely brilliant. Get that into mass production, we'll all have one!
Super_Fox_Boy Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 That is one seriously good piece of work. The time and effort that has been put into it is awesome.
J.Lisemore Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 Amazing that is. Like many people, I wish we were still there.
Ashley Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 What I'd give to be playing back there instead of the Lego stadium. We are not Cardiff City. Our Stadium doesn't look like Lego.
Guest MattP Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 We are not Cardiff City. Our Stadium doesn't look like Lego. It just looks like all the other bowls that everyone got around 2000. It's magnificent, where do you go to see this? Can you just walk into the Weller lounge before a home game? What I'd give to be back there...
General Smuts Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 I was playing Scattergories with the missus and her family of southerners and the letter was 'L' and the cattergory 'Charities'. Nobody had heard of LOROS which thoroughly confused me. They googled it and the L stands for Leicestershire. I just assumed everyone had heard of LOROS.

Did you know the L was for Leicestershire before?
General Smuts Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 Did you know the L was for Leicestershire before? I didn't even know it was an acronym.
ajthefox Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 I didn't even know it was an acronym. Shame on you
Guest Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 Doesn't look the correct number of bricks in the pillars to me.
I am Rod Hull Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 I don`t know about anyone else but a little bit of my love for Leicester City died when we left that ground. I always feel more for the club when i see pictures of Filbert Street... I guess that`s what you call nostalgia...

You can't ever get that back. It was the only thing that anyone alive at the time had seen as Leicester's home.

Agreed, I was hoping they still kept the old (but new) west stand, and try and design it alittle different to the current bowls at the time!!

General Smuts Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 The only redeeming feature of this current stadium is its initials are the same as mine.
Guest Bilo Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 I think we'd have reacted a lot better to the move if the Walkers hadn't been so soulless and unimaginative in design. I personally would have liked to see something closer to a four stand design than a bowl, I like how Ibrox combines both elements and would have loved us to do something similar.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 Filbert Street will live on, in our hearts. It had both atmosphere and history, and always seemed welcoming.

Agreed, this is why I'm really looking forward to the day the east stand is developed.
FoxesAreBlue Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 Agreed, this is why I'm really looking forward to the day the east stand is developed. Saw St James' Park last week (albeit only from the outside) and the lopsided look isn't too bad up there - by the way their big stands are HUGE. Never seen owt like it!
stripeyfox Posted 23 September 2011 Posted 23 September 2011 So, presumably the club won the auction for the model? Any idea how much they donated? Or is it just on display there? Be a nice gesture if they did buy it.

Be a nice gesture if they did buy it. I don't think there was ever any auction. I think Mickythehooos just sold the advertising boards in the ground £25 each.
davieG Posted 28 September 2011 Author Posted 28 September 2011 mickythehoss Posted on 27/09/2011 16:43 The Filbo Model is MOVING: 27/09/2011 16:56 The clubs top brass having seen the model have now said that the model must be moved to another resting place so it is accessable to all, As from the 8th of October it can be viewed by everyone from it's new position which is The New Fans Store. So it's back to the King Power Stadium a week on Friday to move it, Ar well at least EVERYONE will now see it now.
Voll Blau Posted 26 September 2012 Posted 26 September 2012 Just seen this on the Bentley's facebook page... WHAT A DISGRACE Micky's Filbert Street Model has been moved to the reception, what the hell was wrong with where it was? This is a shambolic way to treat a gift to the fans from Micky, I am appalled PLEASE HELP US TO RETURN IT TO THE FANSTORE IMMEDIATELY
kyleolly Posted 26 September 2012 Posted 26 September 2012 It was in the fanstore on Monday next to the clearance rail £3 a t shirt wow
