KENILWORTH ROAD
PL rules & regs required a 12m upgrade to stadium.
A 10 thousand odd old school pitch squashed in by housing. Away contingent in north end Oak Road Stand up to 2200. Overlooked by home fans and they got gobby. Unfriendly and homophobic atmosphere.
Plans from 2019 to build a new 23k seater stadium in Power Court area about 100m for 24/25.
On the 100 mile mark. M1 J10 signs to town centre but bear right down Wimborne Road and go past ground to Station. Pay and display there.
Station 15 mins walk but cut thru by Sainsbury's super store, over footbridge.
