KING POWER STADIUM (Walkers Stad)

NEXT: Sun 8 Dec 2:00pm

Proper big boys stadium of 32.2 thousand size as befitted the clubs aspirations. Plans to extend capacity and rebuild part of complex.
A corner view from NE side (Lineker Stand) but quite ok. Up to 3000 in this away area.
Not a bad atmosphere although can seem distant from home mob.
