Fox in a Box Posted 14 December 2006 Share Posted 14 December 2006 Just A Handful Of Tickets Remaining LCFC vs BarnsleyLeicester City are expecting their biggest crowd at the Walkers Stadium for over two and a half years when Barnsley are the visitors on Saturday. The Club's Christmas Community Fixture has proven a huge success with supporters - who have already snapped up nearly 30,000 tickets. A handful of tickets are still available, but supporters who have not already purchased are being advised to contact the Club at the earliest possible opportunity to avoid disappointment. A City spokesperson said: "It has been a magnificent response from the supporters, especially at this time of year when there are tremendous pressures on everyone's budgets. "We are now asking City fans, who will be out-numbering Barnsley fans by something like 40 to one, to create a real atmosphere inside the stadium to support Rob and the players. "This will be our biggest Championship crowd since the promotion season five years ago and our biggest since we last played in the Premiership." Boss Rob Kelly added: "It's a terrific effort from our supporters - especially given the fact that money is tight at this time of year. "We played in front of big crowds against both Crystal Palace and Aston Villa and performed well. It was obvious that the atmosphere inside the stadium for both of those games gave the players a real lift. "It's our job to give the fans something to shout about. Hopefully they will then make the atmosphere inside the Walkers as intimidating as they can." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 14 December 2006 Share Posted 14 December 2006 Championship Crowd and its nearly 2007, there just buttering it up, we got promoted in the 2002-3 season. It now 06-07 02-03 to 06-07 4 Years. Even then techinically it's more like 3 and a half because our last fixture would of been in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five years is far more depressing than 3 and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in a Box Posted 15 December 2006 Author Share Posted 15 December 2006 Arrive Early! so the OS SITE says Leicester City are urging supporters to give themselves plenty of time to travel to Saturday's Championship clash against Barnsley. Nearly 50,000 sports fans will be entering the city as both the Tigers and the Foxes are playing at home in front of expected sell-out crowds. On top of this, Saturday is expected to be the busiest shopping day of the festive period, with thousands of Christmas shoppers expected at both the Shires and Fosse Park Shopping Centres. A City spokesman said: "Our advice to City supporters is to give yourselves plenty of time to make their journey to the stadium. "We have plenty of pre-match activity planned for Saturday, especially for the youngsters. There will be face painters, carol singers and visits from Santa and Filbert as the build up to Christmas begins in earnest." A handful of tickets for the game remain on general sale, but supporters are being advised to purchase them without delay to avoid disappointment. ------------------ I'm sure there trying to flog the burgers somewhat and get us into the shop...
