# Leicester City: Fans react to fundraising idea involving new training ground

**Many Leicester City fans have responded on Twitter to a suggestion from a fan account on Twitter about a way to fundraise for The Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Foundation.**

The popular twitter page, @[LeicesterFanTV](https://twitter.com/LeicesterFanTV/status/1197518787119124480), has suggested an idea to raise money for the charity, which includes the club’s new state of the art training facility which is currently being built.

The £100m training ground is currently being built off the A46, in what has been described as “the most advanced training facility in Europe” (via [Leicestershire Live](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/drone-footage-shows-progress-leicester-3412746)).

The previous link has an update from the new training ground, with drone footage showing the developments on the site.

[LeicesterFanTv](https://twitter.com/LeicesterFanTV/status/1197518787119124480) suggested that the club should do a fans day where supporters can come along and check out the new facility. They said that the club could £10 per person for the viewing, and the money raised could go to the Vichai fund.

Many fans got behind the idea, as you can read below…

> Yes excellent idea although access off and back on A46 could cause issues with hundereds of fans driving unless they do a park and ride
