LCFC and Birse are opening up the new stadium for the first time to fans on Saturday, 15th December.

City fans will have the chance to walk down the player’s tunnel and view the playing area before returning through the new West Stand concourse area.

The stadium will be open 10am until 3pm and the City squad will be there during the afternoon before they depart for Leeds United at 2pm.

Filbert, Vicky and Dennis will also be there to entertain kids and there'll be refreshments available.

Birse have assured FFS they haven't found any Derby supporters working on the stadium as yet trying to smuggle Derby shirts under the pitch, but have apologised for the Man Utd fans that are there. Birse have tried to employ local people and firms wherever possible including securing a partnership with local company Elequip. They're doing a storming job and are still on schedule as we reach the half way point in the project.

So far no names have stuck to the stadium, and negotiations are still going on with a big local firm about naming rights. There were plenty of suggestions on last night's Radio Leicester phone in including "Birch's Boudoir"! One of the favourites so far seems to be The Foxes Den.

Tell us what you think about this in our FFS Fans Forum.
