Stadium expansion

I’m assuming they’ll sell the new 8000 additions as ST’s priced similar to SK 1-4. They’ll sell easily if we’re in the PL.
I don’t understand the negativity towards our support. It’s the best it’s ever been in the last few years, understandably, but it’ll still be 97%+ full on average this season despite many away clubs not selling their allocation.
Some people forget we’re not a tourist club like the London teams or some of the northern lot like the scallies or manure. We’re just a club in the unknown ( outside of the UK) East Midlands. Long may that continue. A real club with its own homegrown fans.
 
Be offer cut price tickets to the thousands who only stay for 80 minutes 😀
Piling out in their thousands last night on about 75 minutes 😀
 
I think it's great. We'll sell those extra tickets easily. There are 2 things that concern.me though:

1. Will they improve the transport links as they are awful, and the main reason people leave games early.

2. Will the club sort out the ground and where people sit. It's the perfect opportunity to get safe standing and a decent 2000+ area for the singers.
 
Be hilarious to have the luxury of space to allocate blocks to the various supporter groups…..

2. I don’t believe they will. I think is so far down their list of priorities.
They got a lot of hear for moving 100 people in SK1, like bollocks will they shift huge swaths in blocks.
 
Transport links definitely should be a priority. Cant think of any cities that connect their major sports stadia worse.
 
2. It all depends on the ticket prices. Many that have been sat in the Kop since the stadium opened might consider moving from the Kop into the shiny new stand with better facilities. If they do I think the club might move Union FS.

And you love it don't you.

You, Will Hay and Harwich all revel in negativity ... It keeps you going doesn't it.

Who'd have thought you'd have contributed in this way to a thread about stadium expansion

Reading the LCFC official site suggests that ambitions might be scaled back?

Postive spin is that they do mention that they've now got aditional land (the Eon site).

The wider masterplan is critical to the viability of the overall project, and the grant of outline permission for these additional elements represents a critical milestone for the overall development, whilst also providing the Club with an opportunity now to reassess its detailed proposals in light of market dynamics which have changed significantly since the Club’s proposals were initially submitted. The Club’s acquisition of further adjacent land since the planning application was first submitted can now also be factored into our vision for the overall site, and presents a further opportunity to strengthen the Club’s overall commercial proposition.

It will be the responsibility of the Club’s leadership to ensure that the final detailed plans for a project of such longevity deliver optimal value, particularly given the scale of investment which will be required from the Club and its owners to bring it to fruition. The Club looks forward to advancing those detailed proposals, while continuing to monitor associated market conditions, which will enable us to plan an appropriate timeline for development work to commence.
 
Satisfying the Council about transport accessabiltuy was key to obtaining full permission.
It is now about deciding priorities as it would be naive to expect full development all at once.
Obviously the new stand is top and the new store would free up the present site for a museum.
Next in line would probably be the multi storey car park to keep the Council onside.
I don't get a 220 room hotel, bit far from city centre and coming after the Tigers hotel nearby.
The new housing block will be popular with the housing dept., produce income and could be
easy to start being presumably a bit further away from the core football site.

I'm guessing the hotel would service need on match days and also the new indoor arena.
 
Good luck to anyone trying to run a hotel based on 19 / 23 matches a year plus a few gigs! Think any potential operators will be looking for stronger demand than that....

There’s one next to the tigers ground without the option of gigs, how well is that doing?
