Jace Posted 23 November 2014 Share Posted 23 November 2014 Its due to our ground holding 32,000 and their grounds having more seats available, apparently there isn't a problem because when we get relegated everyone will stop going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously,doesn't ask the the question though..how do they get so many fans,we often say we shouldn't increase our capacity,these teams puts us to shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayday Posted 23 November 2014 Author Share Posted 23 November 2014 How are Newcastle and Sunderland's Rugby clubs getting on? Means nothing,a lot of the tigers fans are not even from Leicester,plus you only play 11 home games in the aviva. Prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 23 November 2014 Share Posted 23 November 2014 Means nothing,a lot of the tigers fans are not even from Leicester,plus you only play 11 home games in the aviva. Prem The city would have a lot less Rugby fans, and by extension would almost certainly have more committed football fans, if we didn't have one of the best Rugby sides around based here. I don't particularly care for Rugby/know how well supported the Tigers are, but that's a fair comment isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCFOX6190 Posted 23 November 2014 Share Posted 23 November 2014 Almost everyone from Newcastle supports Newcastle, that is why. Far more people in Leicester support the bigger teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 23 November 2014 Share Posted 23 November 2014 Newcastle upon Tyne has a population of 250,000 but including the surrounding urban area its population is almost 1 million. County Durham was the largest local authority in the region with 513,200 (sunderland's area) leicestershire has a population of just under 1 million with over half the population living in Leicester's built-up area. the issue being that the outer reaches of the county are closer to derby, nottingham, birmingham, coventry and northampton. in the northeast, you either support newcastle, sunderland or perhaps middlesborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 23 November 2014 Share Posted 23 November 2014 Why do you even care? It matters very little in the grand scheme of things. And as already said, the stadium capacities have a massive say in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
