Why wouldn’t Leicestershire Police like us playing from home? 

Was referenced to forest new ground/city ground redevelopment.

This thread has gone way off topic. Any news on stadium development?

Forest are paying for it and only get to use that part of the stadium when they move in with us

Why? It looks awful.!

History!  Not everything has to be a shiny glass and aluminium new build.   That said, the KP is hardly shiny these days

Wouldn't be difficult to rebuild as an entrance to the fan park if/when that gets done.

I dread to think how much asbestos was in that stadium when it was knocked down

Yeah but you could get a half time brew for 70p, throw tickertape without being done for littering and spend the second half wondering why the back of your leg was now wet & warm.

 

So it balances out.

With the women playing there, I very much doubt the pitch could withstand another 23 games a season on top, even if we wanted to.

Did you go to Blackburn? The pitch was incredible. Our groundsman are top drawer.

It was great to see a creative design back. Our pitches used to look fantastic with all the different designs the year we won the league.

Yeah I did. 

 

But upwards of 60/70 games in 9 months would be difficult for even them to manage.

 

All hypothetical anyway because a ground share ain't happening.

If you get Syphilis, sharing it with the red scum, is exactly what you should do.

Forest talk in now banned on this topic moving forward! - The word is making me feel sick on a Monday morning

Still plenty of space in the car park - I've always wanted to see a scale model replica of Filbert Street as some sort of a fan village where fans can grab a drink or food and just sit in the "stands". Someone needs to pitch this to the club.

Only if in the middle of fake Filbert St there’s a model village version of Filbert St just for dogs.

Forest won’t move to the King Power.

 

Also, the lack of movement on this redevelopment is a joke. 
 

A complete rebuild is out of the question as well. 
 

Genuine question, if tickets aren’t going on general sale and we’re charging people to get a membership etc, do we actually fill 40k a week? I’m not convinced we do.

We easily fill 40k in the EPL, and I think we would fill 45k.

If the club didnt do their best to shut fans out

King Power must be losing money by having all that land lying derelict. Must come the time soon when they'll have to start the build or sell it off. No use to anyone in the state it is now.

Builders sit on land for 20-30 years, it's not really a issue.

I thought king power took out loans to do the work so must be paying a lot of interest

We need to get a wriggle on with this

Yes. Easily fill 40k

 

I've said it before in here and others too. 

 

Currently tickets that go to general sale are singles dotted about. The club is losing on money. People aren't going because they can't get 2/3/4 tickets together.
