don't think makes much difference

Cause it does, The ticket's would'a been a lot cheaper if it were a fans fixture

Posted

I believe that the opposing team needs to agree if the game is to be a fans fixture. This could be wrong, but I'm sure that this was the excuse given before.

how the fock can colchester not be a fans fixture. it doesnt affect me a season ticket holder but i think indirectly it does because the game isnt as good when half the ground is empty. be lucky to get 19,000 for this. :(

We got 19,000 for Southend didn't we?

Colchester won't bring half as many as southend though. They get 4,000 most home matches!

It should deffo be a fans fixture!!!

As a ST I don't actually have a problem with fans fixtures.

They are giving a load of tickets to people living in aylestone - near the training ground.

This is due to a noisy yoga session or some thing like that!!

If we carry on winning the ground will gradually fill up with all them people back on the bandwagon.

So not to worry.

I will not be going, paying £20 (not including the beer money etc)for this game is abit too expensive. At a tenner definitely would have went, if results do not go city's way before the game, I can imagine a very poor attendance!!!

Wise words spoken by a wise man. Colchester isn't the glitzy, glamour fixture of the season for us by any stretch of the word, so I think they should have put this down as a fans fixture. Would have helped revive attendances a little I feel

Posted

I dont think the opposition determines which game will be a fans fixture but more the time of year. I remember in the final season at filbert street, the match against Derby was a special "Kids for a quid" promotion scheme.... worst £1 Ive ever spent I think! :(

Posted

its a bit of a joke really. I remember the first season in the walkers we had around 5 fans fixtures. The past few seasons we have hardly had any.

It'd make more sense having fans fixtures, especially with attendances in decline. It'd encourage people to go down, as it won't cost them nearly as much, and, with a fuller stadium our team may actually decide to perform in order to keep people in there :o

good shout...adult £10 kids £5 the stadium would be a lot fuller.

But then more kids will be there and people will start moaning again about how they're spoiling the atmosphere and how we have to watch what we say..... Leicester fans really are a bunch of moaners aren't we!

I'd say so. People aren't willing to pay the asking prices to go and watch football as poor as what we're offering atm, especially against "lesser" teams. Knock the prices down a little bit for normal games, and even further down for fans fixtures (as you have done) and we'd get more people in, I'm sure of it.. It isn't rocket science, but our marketing team make it seem that way.

Posted

Colchester must fancy their chances.....

So must Hereford!!!!!!! <_<

Both quite true, and I don't think we have anybody but ourselves (as in the team, not me and you) to blame for other teams considering us as a joke and taking us lightly nowadays. We don't perform well enough, we can't finish, we can't defend convincingly, we get beat. It's as simple as that.
