Home and Away Support/Atmosphere

People leaving early need to get outside the directors box. Like Norwich a year ago.

That game was about a year ago. The Norwich fans blocked their directors in and that night they sacked their manager.

 

The same day LCFC released statements about how out of order our fans were and a scripted interview from an office in Bangkok about how much they really do care.

 

No surprise that a year later we're in a League 1 relegation battle and Norwich are in the Championship.

Did anyone actually stay for the second half? I didn't even stay for the third goal.

[GrobyLCFC31]

First game all season where I’ve genuinely felt involved from the stands at times! 
 

Played a lot more direct up to Riis who looks a real handful, Lundstram and others snapping into tackles and young lads playing well, it’s no coincidence that you get a better atmosphere when you play more direct and counter attack at times with speed! 
 

More of a challenge to get involved watching centre backs passing side to side

I reckon somewhere between 19-21K today so about 3-4K less home than the Peterbro game.

You think there was only 4-5K empty seats in the home end out of 29,000?

Not always accurate obviously, but BBC Sport had the (official) attendance down as 29k against Peterborough last week. So going by that, there was 26k in the home areas. It was quite a lot emptier today.

That very much depends where you are with our ground.

Real attendance wasn’t 29K against Peterbro.

I reckon that was about right last week. Remember the away end was full. 

 

Today I'm calling it at 24,307. 

 

I also realise this is a pointless discussion, and that I am a nerd for entering an online discussion about attendances on a Saturday evening.

24 very generous.

 

Today was 19-21 IMO.

 

Last week there was a couple thousand empty seats in the North stand alone.

They count season ticket holders albeit ifvtgey dont attend.

Obvious  today loads didnt attend( I know about 10 personally  who didnt attend)

People may think im a bit off saying this and others might not agree but I thought sk1 today was absolutely shocking. Seemed like a massive divide between ufs today and the lad on the drum was either catering for them only with how quiet the drum was, or they found it very difficult to get the crowd going. Majority of the time I would say the latter. 
Even winning 2-0, nobody was up for it and the majority looked defeated from kick off. Last 5 mins was ok and added on/FT but apart from that not a lot. Which is why from their body language they tried but to no avail.. 

 

We did hear the drum in L1 a couple of times which also highlighted the lack of noise our end. Let’s hope for a run of games as im sure that’ll help, but after last weekend it’s like there is no life on match day left.. sad to see..

Sat in G1 for the first half of today and literally no noise from SK1 carried over.

More than half of the usual L1 lot weren’t there today so no surprise the atmosphere suffered.

 

Looking at the Kop it looked, at best 55-60% full so again, with most of the usual vocal fans not bothering today it’s no surprise it was absolutely dead.

Based on the amount of ST’s sold and attendances (real attendances) so far this season I Genuinely believe there are hundreds, perhaps even 1000s of ST holders who haven’t been to a single match this season.

I must’ve messaged at least 15 season ticket holders who I know to try and get my mate a ticket for today. 
 

People wanted crazy amounts to sell their tickets (cheapest offers were a couple at £15). I don’t get it. Surely if you’ve got a season ticket and you know you’re not going the game you’d want to sell the ticket, regardless of how much you sell it for?

 

It’s not as if someone will buy it off the website. The seat will literally go empty. The STH will get no money and the fan who wants to go the game won’t get a ticket. It’s a lose-lose.

I decided at the death that I couldn't arsed to go. It was 2.20, I was on my sofa and saw the line-up. Looked at the defenders, thought fvck this and stayed on the sofa.

My OH went though.

Buying the dip in the expectation we'd go up

[Bob Weasel Fox]

It's obvious loads of season ticket holders aren't turning up currently and who can blame them

 

officially we will average over 25000 every game at least this season - possibly more if results pick up

 

through the gate it will be more like 22-23000 I would guesstimate

The whole ground had a feeling of resignation, which showed in the turn out.

As I said, that was the official attendance. There was quite a drop off today that’s for sure. I would put it around the 23k mark, but could have been lower like you’ve said.

I think there were 25-26k people inside the stadium at 3pm yesterday, yes…

 

when I said good atmos it was hardly Sevilla in the champo league but it was better than most this season so far. The football helped us. The first Saturday win of 2026 helped us.

No chance IMO. I’d be surprised if the attendance was above 20K. Doncaster had over a 1,000 unsold. 

 

24k estimate would have the home end at around 73% capacity which it was way more sparse than that.

 

26K estimate would put the home end at 83% capacity which looking at the ground is just a ridiculous shout.

I remember Leicester Fan TV lot saying a long time ago that they were quiet because they were “justifiably nervous” or something, so it was ok to make no noise.

 

 

I’d prefer we didn’t go quietly into the night/league 2
