according to mace to prestigious pepsi max challenge had a great carnival atmosphere. As far as i could hear on the t.v it was a bit quiet. If you where one of the 5,000 what did you think

Maybe India should have been added to the tournement instead of Bengal even though this would neglect the partnership with them. Or maybe it was something to do with the publicity of the tournement? Fair enough all Leicester fans knew about it, but maybe we should have invested bit more in going national?
San said:Mace relied on the asian population in Leicester to turn out in numbers to generate revenue. It was never going to happen with those ticket prices. If he had wanted to play East Bengal in a tournment it should have included 2 other sides of superior ability than Real Mallorca & Maritimo. But then not many would want to participate in a friendly with a Divison 1 side. Looking at it in different perspective last season would we want to play a Spanish Division 1 side if we had the chance to play Barca instead? Getting Boca Juniors was a step in the right direction...However if Cardiff can get Lazio & we get Maritimo then whats goin on! :x

I think the biggest problem was the pricing.
With it being two games in two days it was obvious that the first day would feature mainly reserve team players. But it still cost £20 for the day.
It's all very well the club saying season ticket holders could see four games for £30, but most Leicester fans aren't that interested in seeing other teams (unless they're a big name like Barcelona), so fans were effectively paying £30 for a reserve friendly and a first team friendly. That's not value for money, so supporters stayed away.
