Lad just visited and said have you heard on Facebook. I said bollocks and checked here!

Incredible news, well done Doug. For the first time EVER we actually own this 33k beast. What a birthday present for the CBS. Let's have a real party, celebrate with songs and emulate the first result against QPR.

It'll be TUPE law protected so the general staff can transfer over to the new owners on the same wages and terms

I would have thought the arena operating company will remain and CovCityCo will be the parent, similar to the set up with CCFC Ltd.

So no need for TUPE as it would just be an continuation.

I wonder if in time the anecdote could become more of a traditional boozer? Feels too posh for me at the minute and maybe not many people use it if it became a standard pub?

Or maybe it's heaving every match day and I'm way off the mark I dunno

That guy who posted "JD". Don't think he meant JD sports cos of this?

David O'Day · Aug 23, 2025

Nice to everyone happy about something, well everyone apart from the fella who once forgot he hadn't paid for his season ticket

Makes you realise there's no ITKs anymore.

King’s Power Stadium.

duffer · Aug 23, 2025

Incredible news.

To be honest, I didn't think I'd see the stadium in the club's hands in my lifetime, so this is an absolutely staggering move by King.

If he does nothing else at the club, he'll always be remembered and respected for this. Fantastic.

Unless it’s to sell the club I don’t see the point here. Costs loads to maintain and makes no money, that’s why it’s been a hot potato from day one.

I quite like a hot potato, loads of butter, some baked beans and grated cheddar, jobs a good un.

Can he turn the WiFi on please

Won't be able to bat away all Pete's questions with 'that's down to the stadium' now

Special shout out to JoeCov28472672 currently on his 400th Twitter account furiously replying to everyone about how we celebrate this but Leicester won the league. I'm starting to question his legitimacy

Wasn't it 250 years when the insects took over?

Thought it changed when Wasp went bust and Frasers bought it

Imagine the possibilities for massive fan villages for the euros and world cup too. Loads of revenue streams to be exploited.

And after games.

At the minute fans just go elsewhere.

It's not that bad, the location means it's a bit awkward. Watched some games in there though and the food isn't bad.

What income? Ashley never made a penny on it a the two previous owners went bust.

We weren’t going to get kicked out Sisu proved there’s no alternative for either.

For someone who portrays themselves as intelligent (never a good sign that) you are unbelievably stupid.

The club wasn’t worth 1 pence yesterday as it had zero asset value - overnight it’s worth millions. It has income streams and external potential investment it’s never had in its history.

The fact you can’t see that says it all.

I might celebrate this news today by going to Northampton’s home game

If the hall is sitting empty after games. It won't cost the club to hire them.

All it will cost is staff for the bars (or invite external street foods in) and then cleaning up after etc.

Shout out to Sprout the Dog for helping force this over the line also

Just give it up....he isn't going to buy the club ffs.

The club is owned by Doug King.

It includes:

Modern day stadium with all year round revenue
Training ground
Talented squad
Top manager

We are now a top target for investors or approaches to buy the club. Not saying Doug will sell but we’ve never been in a better position.

Nooooo! Don’t have shit happening after the games too, it already takes 45 mins to get out of carpark A!!
Seriously, this is fantastic news and I wonder if the Wasps twat ( can’t remember his name) ever looks on here and cries himself to sleep.

Surely it more fans are staying behind at the ground it means not everybody is trying to get out at the same time?;

Always reminds me of my dad when I drive past. First building he worked on as a bricklayer when he first came into to the country from Ireland.
