Srg Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/plaza-pride-park-update-201213-1246357.aspx Any ideas why this might be the case? Risky investment? Makes sense. See how busy the velodrome is, review capacity and possibly get bigger and better investments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 as it says - they are waiting to see what needs/potential business is there when the velodrme is up and running. And then act... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketteringram Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Where was this meant to be? Not exactly much room around the stadium now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Think it looks like it is what it is. The Plaza was meant to give people more of a reason to visit the area, but now you look at that whopping great Velodrome next to the iPro, and the demand and need has changed.

Duracell Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Where was this meant to be? Not exactly much room around the stadium now. Meant to be in the West Stand Carpark I think? Funny how the modern stadiums get criticised for being fields in the middle of nowhere. Pride Park's going to be absolutely surrounded in a decade's time. No different to the old grounds, apart from the function of the buildings which surround them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkleyram Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 And then the club will complain that there's no room to expand, to build bigger stands to fit in all the extra thousands who want to watch us in the new European League. And so it will all start again.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doink Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 First post on here in a long time but thought i'd give my opinion why it may be on hold. I remember the plaza was downgraded from the original plans and made smaller, could it be that beacuse we are withing touching distance of the PL the powers that be are waiting to see what happens, it could be they see the revised plans too small again IF we were to in the PL again?

That's what I think. The plans need to accommodate a potential increase in demand, which is why they should be scrapped in their current form. That area of PP could become a sporting hub. Already there a several gyms, 5 a side football pitches, tennis courts, a football stadium and now a velodrome with a gym and other sporting facilities. Perhaps the council will consider a new athletics stadium and Olympic sized pool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 This was the previous Plaza plan: in-between the Velodrome and the main entrance of the stadium.

ChaddesdenRam Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Wonder if iPro have said something too. Maybe iPro want the plaza to be called the the iPro Stadium Plaza, instead of the Plaza @ Pride Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Or they have seen Westfield going down the pan and figured there isn't the demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
