SPIN SAYS
Leicester City will be pulling out all the stops to find a new state-of-the-art training ground this year.
The present facility at Belvoir Drive is deemed "unsuitable" and chief executive Lee Hoos will be striving to find the right venue.
Now that Leicester's hopes of being a World Cup venue for 2018 have been kicked into touch, Hoos believes the time is right to progress.
Belvoir Drive could have been used as a training centre during the competition.
"The reason I didn't want to comment on it until now was because of the World Cup bid," he said.

"I didn't want to say anything that might cause people at the FA to say 'wait a minute, what is going on with Leicester's bid?' or cause any embarrassment for the city council. Now the decision has been made, the bid is over and we look to the future."
Explaining the thinking behind the move, Hoos said: "For where we want to take the club, the present training ground is unsuitable.
"We are very progressive and our sports science department is very important. You can't do pitch rotation because it is on so many different levels.
"There is actually only one pitch that is full size, the others are either not wide enough or too short, which presents a problem for us.
REALITY SAYS
The current training ground is worth a mint so we are going to sell the last remaining asset the club has and find somewhere cheaper.
I know that by using the excuse that the pitch isnt big enough or the changing rooms are in the wrong place is an insult to most peoples intelligence we are sticking to that feeble excuse.

Cynical. Bad boy. Didn't you see the words 'state-of-the-art' and 'progress' and 'sports science' and 'pitch rotation'?
I wasnt questioning the sale of the ground i was remarking on the complete fecking bullshit about why they are selling the ground. :icon_roll
