DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 In all our euphoria, let's remind ourselves, that ten years ago, the Walkers Stadium was built with a view to accommodating Premiership football, only to find ourselves relegated. Now, after ten long years, our stadium will be baptised for the purpose for which it was built, it's first full season, and I hope that it will be blessed with great moments, great players, and great supporters, and will become as legendary as our beloved Filbert Street was. So here's to the start of a new and exciting era, at the King Power Stadium.
Fox92 Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Didn't we play there when last in the prem? Once, 03/04.
NewburyFox Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 It needs a makeover for next season. All of the white on the outside needs to be washed/repainted at the very least.
GingerrrFox Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Well it currently looks like a ShitHole. Needs more blue, needs repainting and needs more decoration. It's such a shame that the Ricoh looks better than our ground and it's sat doing **** all. Absolute travesty that we had to build a new stadium out of an Ikea flat pack due to finances.
Fox92 Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 19 times, surely? Ahh, yeah! How many times did we win? Blackburn, Portsmouth, Leeds? I recall us drawing a lot. Everton, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Bolton...
Jimothy Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Ahh, yeah! How many times did we win? Blackburn, Portsmouth, Leeds? I recall us drawing a lot. Everton, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Bolton... They are sadly the only three wins I can think of!
Fox92 Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 They are sadly the only three wins I can think of! I'm sure there is 4 (maybe 5) but I can only think of those three off the top of my head.
AKCJ Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 I hope that we work on the stadium. It's a damn sight better than a lot in that league, but it's still not right.
Bayfox Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Some people on here do make me wonder. It's as if nalis never scored. Sir les was never here
Ade's Left Foot Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 People complaining about the state of our current playing arena haven't been to Burnley then......Fans of the established Premier League sides will not even notice a few shoddy bits of paintwork after going to Turf Moor!
StanSP Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Some people on here do make me wonder. It's as if nalis never scored. Sir les was never here De Vries vs Spurs (granted it was the Cup), but still a memorable goal!
Kitchandro Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Away from the fact we've clearly played in the Premiership at our new ground before.... It will never be 'legendary' in it's current guise. It is not unique enough, and not only that, it's just not very good. There's nothing interesting or attractive about it at all, I'm sorry to say. I'd like to draw as little attention to it as possible. People complaining about the state of our current playing arena haven't been to Burnley then......Fans of the established Premier League sides will not even notice a few shoddy bits of paintwork after going to Turf Moor! They'll probably notice that it is Burnley's ground though. The only thing they'll notice about ours is that it looks like a cross between Southampton and Cardiff's ground.
ceredigion Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 The stadium bankrupted us, led to ten years of under-achievement, including the loss of our great record of never playing outside the top 2 divisions. Give me Filbert Street any day.
Des. Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 They are sadly the only three wins I can think of! We also won at Manchester City 3-0
LCCFox96 Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 I'm sure the owners will provide some cash to touch up places here and there outside the stadium. Getting promoted is a special occasion and one of the ways they'll mark a return to the premiership is giving the ground a bit of a make over. Personally I'd like to see a statue of a club legend put up outside. Something that was suggested in FT previously in the Gordon Banks statue thread.

This! That place is horrific, that said, it matches the town well, but makes for an awesome away day.

Personally I'd like to see a statue of a club legend put up outside. Something that was suggested in FT previously in the Gordon Banks statue thread. Statue as been talked about for sometime, one idea I liked was turning the old Filbert Street land into some sort memorial garden or a park something with a couple of statue's on it. Like Keith Weller or as you say Gordon Banks, but of course I believe that land is going to be housing. However they get easily have a statue outside every stand, Gordon Banks outside the family stand, The Birch outside the main stand, Gary Lineker the kop & Keith Weller the east stand.
VLC86 Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 We could do with a big screen outside!Yeah so all of the plastic bastards could watch the game for free outside while all is proper fans watch from inside while chomping on a pieWell that's bloody bizarre... On the forum it says elastic and on edit it says plastic ha weird. And now I look like a complete ****ing lunatic.... P L A S T I C
Guest bss9401 Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Been to Loftus Road recently? The stench of piss has been ever present since my first visit around 30 years ago. When they leave they will soon be recalling the good times there. I loved Filbert Street but it had to go since we couldn't expand it.
Jimothy Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 We also won at Manchester City 3-0 Except we're talking about home wins
Leicesterpool Posted 23 April 2014 Posted 23 April 2014 Yeah so all of the elastic bastards could watch the game for free outside while all is proper fans watch from inside while chomping on a pie Well that's bloody bizarre... On the forum it says elastic and on edit it says elastic ha weird No it wouldn't show the match live they wouldn't be allowed. Most clubs who have big screens outside the ground show interviews and highlights of recent performances.
