A mate has passed me this from Leicester City council in response to a FOI request for ‘real’ attendance figures:
‘The Council does not hold this information. Therefore this letter acts as a refusal notice under section 17.1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 because, in accordance with section 1.1 of the Act, this information is not held by Leicester City Council.
We do issue a general Safety Certificate for Leicester City Football Club, but this states a maximum capacity that the ground can hold on matchdays. There is no requirement for the club to share attendance figures for any match‘
