wriggydean: “, for a small club, thats wat they are, a small club, forest or county will never be a premier force again! but city have got the potential to be massive!”

Well, losing 5-1 to a “Small Club” isn’t the right way way to become massive!

Leicester doesen’t have realy any appeal.
The walker stadium is one of the new, bland, boring stadiums, and the city has no venues.
I doubt Leicester will be included.

I think it has to come to leicester we are a multi cultural city, we have a good fan base, and will become a big club and could fill 45,000 seater staduim when we are back in the premier league, both Derby and Forest would committ financial suicide winning the bid as they simply dont have the financial backing as Leicester has. Plus we are centrally midlands based with road links to A14 for east of england M69 to M40 for west London M1 for North London, and the airport is officially not in Nottingham it is infact more Leicestershire or Derbyshire. And the World cup would love the Birch!!! (though he could be quite old by then)

The City Council will still build the stadium, I don’t care if it’s on greenbelt land. The county council aren’t needed.
Nottingham will be included.

First of all, it looks to me as though that planned new stadium in Nottingham will not get built do to arguments between the two councils in Nottingham, so forget Nottingham.The city ground is just to out dated and even extended wouldnt look great. Derby is just to small a city and the ground is to far away from the city centre. Leicesters train station is to be increased in size, it has direct routes to London and has both the M1 and M69 motorways, its truly a multi racial city and has undergone a big regeneration that continues.Leicester holds the second largest carnival each year in the uk so can deal with large volumes of people.The fact is that if Nottinghams councils dont make an agreement the world cup wont be coming your way!!!

Wriggydean, I can’t really take you seriously, based on your comments.
An it’s not relevant that the airport is in Leicestershire, do your homework, it’s closer to Nottingham and Derby.
And it’s also not important about the size of the city, Nottinghams transport infastructure, stadium plans, and regeneration make it look the most appealing to me out of the 3 city’s.
This shouldn’t be about local rivalries anyway, it should be about ensuring that the East Midlands sees as much action as possible.

Yes Chris Leicester is the UKs 10th largest city and has a much larger population than Nottingham. Nottinghams population has been dropping for 40 years whilst leicesters has continued to increase. The Urban area of Nottingham is larger than Leicesters however this is not the city area. Leicester def gets my vote massive developments and regeneration are taking place, 5 new buildings approved over 20 floors one at 39 floors will get built in leicester, Nottingham your way behind.
