no like the seasons we were in the prem.
We were flying high in the season before the new stadium with 4 top 10 prem finishes and entry into europe, a 40k seater stadium seemed the obvious choice.

 

[highland fox]

no like the seasons we were in the prem.

but we didn't sellout some of them games

 

[FantasticMrFox]

There isnt many clubs that fill there ground to capacity every week throughout every game but this doesnt mean you shouldnt plan for the games that will sell out.

but we didn't sellout some of them games

Last time we were in the Prem we got 30k+ for every single league game, and a lot of what we didnt fill was down to away fans. We could easily average 35-40k in the Prem.

 

[highland fox]

But we aren't in the Prem.i think the size of the ground is fine,according to you lot there is no atmosphere in it now so gawd knows what adding seats is going to do
Last time we were in the Prem,people had a lot more disposable income,going to football is becoming a luxury for most people,I know I couldn't afford to go even if I wanted to

True i remember alot of supporters being annoyed every week because they couldnt get tickets.

There isnt, but i think theres only a chance if this taking place if we are back in the Prem anyway.

I cant imagine any team whos come down from the Premiership would fill their stadium in the Championship or League One. Only the sides whove come up from the lower divisions: Doncaster, Swansea etc.

Dont think the atmosphere is down to the ground but more to the lack of high profile challenges league one and even the championship brings.#
I agree about the cost though as it usually seems to cost me £50 every time i go and i cant really splash hundreds out in one hit on a season ticket.

If you'd spent the £50 you normally spend per match on buying a Season by Direct Debit and it would have been fully paid by Christmas.

Norwich? They have sold the maximum number of season tickets allowed in each of their recent Championship seasons and have sodl the remainder on a match-by-match basis.

Last time we were in the Prem we got 30k+ for every single league game, and a lot of what we didnt fill was down to away fans. We could easily average 35-40k in the Prem.

Not quite - there were two fixtures under 30k. I think these and the fact that we didn't sell out in every game indicates that around about 30k is the maximum that we could expect to attract as a Premiership club. And we are a long way off being a Premiership club.

Why would an American pension/life insurance company that doesn't sell their products in this country be interested in sponsorship?

Oh dear, i only read the ''Teachers'' bit....:icon_redf

This cannot be true can it? Surely if we sold out the ''big'' games and the derbies, we must therefore be able to sell more?

Thers nothing direct about my debit cards can assure you.

Why?

 

[newtonfox]

Why?

Because it would be good to see a world cup match at the walkers ,its good for local trade and its good for Leicester on a whole IMO.
