Ground Information

The Crumbie Stand was built in the 1920s with the terrace being added later. The stand is named after the club’s secretary who built the stand, Tom Crumbie.

The members’ stand is now called the Caterpillar stand and built on the side of the ground adjoining the former Granby Halls site; this stand was also built in the twenties. This expansion almost bankrupted the club but it helped attract top players and laid the foundations for Leicester first glory years in the 1920’s and 1930’s as well as their subsequent success.

The Alliance and Leicester Stand was opened at the Welford Road end in 1995.

In 2004, the Tigers announced a plan to abandon Welford Road in favour of a groundshare at Walkers Stadium with the city’s main football club, Leicester City F.C. However, the two clubs could not agree on which one would have priority at Walkers Stadium, and formally shelved the plan in 2005.

If you would like to take a tour of Welford Road, a full tour includes the changing rooms, dug outs and a photo opportunity with the Heineken Cup.
Adults - £3 per person.
Juniors- £1.50 per person.
