I can tell you living in Leics that local services as regards, cleaning, litter, landscaping, road maintenance etc are all appalling and nothing like they were 20 years ago.Much of that was infrastructure and site decontamination. They also had things like an underground casino that added significantly to the cost, but which were externally funded anyway.
It was built on the cheap - the materials pallete was bargain basement - the cheapest of cheap cladding and it all needs replacing.
The concourse was just exposed concrete all round - the finish around the main stadium bowl was really poor - but some of the internal areas and the atrium were done well tbh. Needs a lot of money spending on it though.
Yes, the rejection of the hotel was a blatant political decision, based purely on the fact they knew Wasps were sitting on a planning app of their own. Corruption, pure and simple.
Doesn't excuse the utter neglect of the area around the arena though. They only do a litter sweep once every six months - even when they cut the grass ahead of the CG, they didn't bother to clean up the litter it exposed. When the City Council have no civic pride you're fucked.
The conference facilities are poor, the decor is cheap and nasty. The atrium area is ok but that's about it, it's much inferior to Warwick uni as i say

Yes the stadium around the pitch £3M more than Kingpower .
Think the Jag hall was around £17M ,Casino funded by Capri ? .
Then around £65M for land decontamination, infrastructure etc.
£20M.I'm sure others have had to spend loads to clear land etc.
Wasps got an awful lot for their £30m.
£20M.
We would be complaining if they ignored it.CT on it like flies.
Or who they are ?When Palace went bust he was the major creditor to the tune of 23 million. He knows his way around a football club, be interesting to know why they hate him?

I think it’s endemic all over the UK and I suspect so much money is now being spent caring for an ageing population that other budgets are trashed.
Adidas have ruined footballMy best friend is a long standing season ticket holder at Crystal Palace and says Simon Jordan was shafted by predators. He rates Jordan highly, says he is passionate about football and would do am amazing job for CCFC.
With decreasing budgets and having more services dumped on them stuff like street cleaning has been absolutely decimated.I can tell you living in Leics that local services as regards, cleaning, litter, landscaping, road maintenance etc are all appalling and nothing like they were 20 years ago.

Trouble with a lot of council employees that make decisions in this city, and possibly others around the country, is that they don't live here. They make decisions based on legislation and budgets with the occasional yes or no to vote through something by the elected officers. The councillors are the ones that should push things like that as they are the body that does know the area and are supposed to be the balance and ask questions. If we elect crap councillors then we don't have a chance.I think it's the difference between a unitary authority area and a district council area. I live in the latter and the street cleaning is much better, but the council doesn't need to provide the expensive services that are unpredictable like social care, so they can concentrate on doing things like street cleaning and planting etc. My little cul-de-sac regularly gets swept by a mini roadsweeper, you only see them once in a blue moon in a city.
Anyone listening this morning? Apparently he has said more on it.
Think he'll have lost some of the Twitter crowd who were all for him yesterday by saying that we are well run & that Sisu aren't as bad as made out...
Was the £113 m gross, or net of the land sale to Tesco? IIRC the whole thing was going to be pretty much cost neutral.It was built at the cost of £113m. No other stadium of that size cost that much.
Even the Amex only cost around £90m and the new Brentford £70m.
The stadium itself is state of the art but was never quite finished. Simon Gilbert's book explains how they moved into unfinished offices etc.
They are spending money on it now with the new atrium and a little more would spruce the place up.
Doesn't help that whenever businesses want to open up, they are turned down. McDonalds and the hotels two of many.
Or they’d be staying on with third party investment.mmmm might be staying on the right side due to upcoming negotiations???
He does realise we have the same Manager as 3,4,5 years ago (his words)?

I assume he means the start of 2017 when Slade was still manager.
We’ll he was on the board so I assume he had a vote on it.Also said McGinnity sold HR and not Bryan Richardson…

To be pedantic McGinnity did, straight after he'd exercised the option to buy it back. In doing so, he ensured we owned no ground.Also said McGinnity sold HR and not Bryan Richardson…
Well I hope I don't live too much longer, sorry to be a burden on you all.
I assume he can't remember exactly when he last mentioned it
Its probably only after this recent pitch story he remembers we existed and had a troubled history with our owners...
