City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

[Prestwich_Blue]

Sound in principal but sounds a lot of work. Our ticket office, web page and associated systems are garbage.
Also not really sure club care....why should they. They have our money already.

Exactly what I said to someone on Twitter. I doubt they give a shit.

Let's stop worrying about empty seats and let's talk to club about the increase in season ticket prices last summer. WHY ?

Anyone know what the official attendance was for last night.

17,237 according to the BBC - looked about right too.

Every time I think of Leicester i think of pep the conductor they should erect a statue to the man

If you have double vision I'm in agreement, if not, it's the same person that posts the rags attendance..!

Imagine if we got 17,000! Would be on the front pages.

Who cares what anyone thinks. We're the 3rd best supported team in the country and ten or fifteen years from now we'll have at least 10,000 more fans at home games every week as an inevitable result of new fans being attracted to our success and getting into the habit of going to games.

Correct.
And, whats wrong with having spare capacity anyway ?
The availability of spare seats would encourage casual fans to come along to the odd match, rather than being put off by the usual message on the ticket site of 'very limited availability'.
They could even introduce pay-on-the-gate with unreserved seating if thats even possible these days.

Well the family stand was a disgrace yesterday. It must have only been at 75% capacity, which proves the fact that if tickets are too cheap, some supporters, when it's cold or the match is on telly, take the decision to forgo their cheap ticket outlay

Disgrace you say ?
Before kick off, looks pretty well occupied to me (I know its only a section of it).

Have to say no point talking about the people that don’t want to or can’t be arsed attending. Yes I accept the people with valid reasons. Their loss. However, it definitely was 25% empty yesterday as I’m pretty close to it in EL3

I changed seats yesterday and took my brother who was visiting from Germany
We were up in L3 of the Colin Bell and he looked down and commented on it
It really was at around 75%

Well I can't say that I noticed it that bad, and that picture says it was a lot more than 75%.

Luckily I go to watch football, not to count empty seats.

I'm not an empty seat counter my friend, but as I said, the turnout in that stand yesterday, considering the game was a sellout weeks ago (I know this as I had to wait for ticket exchange to open to secure relocation tickets) was a disgrace

75%?, it looked like 90% to me.

 

[dickie davies]

75%?, it looked like 90% to me.

Shall we split the difference at 82.5?

Whatever it was, there were lots and lots

Have you seen @blue ranger 's post, just after mine (the one you quoted)

 

[cleavers]

Yeah that was how it looked to me too.

The family stand and the prices are the only reason I can afford to bring my kids who hopefully keep their s/c going for life.fuckin sick at people having a go at the family stand 24/7.
Could hear the geordies clearly singing your support is shit must of been aimed at the family stand and not the stand up arms folded brigade in the south stand

 

[gkmcfc]

There were at least 6 season card holders around me in 134 who simply didn't turn up. It happens but two in particular of have literally been about 3 times this season.
