willy37 Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 im debating wether to go or not, how many people do you rekon will be there, 5-10'000?
alanf0x Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 When I phoned up this morning at 10 they had sold around 7,000. This didn't include the pompey fans though. Im sure they will probably bring around 2,000. Lets get it started.........Milan is a leicester fan
City Lad Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 In the mercury it says that it will be a 5 figure crowd. Over 10,000?
Simon Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 In the mercury it says that it will be a 5 figure crowd. Over 10,000? The Merc talks a lot of shit though (allegedly ). Still, I reckon we may just break 5 figures.
Flexx Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 Im sure they'll be at least a few thousand who turn up at the gate. What's the point in buying your ticket in advance for a friendly? It doesn't matter how many we've sold so far, it matters how many people will bother turning up later. I won't be, waste of money friendlies are

Ben Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 This is another reason why I dont like friendlies. I can see why we have them because players need to gain match fitness, etc but they lack atmosphere. 1. Because they receive low attendences and 2. there's nothing to play for except pride. I'm not saying we should't have them, I'm just saying there not very entertaining to watch. Can't wait until the start of the season though.

Bluefoxtim Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 I read that the tickets could not be bought today, or I would have gone That was changed on monday/tuesday I think...
DB11 Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 It seemed like there was about 10,000 there. Portsmouth had a good backing
He's not bald Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 It seemed like there was about 10,000 there. Portsmouth had a good backing I'd agree with the 10,000 good support from Portsmouth considering the distance and the fact they have to come back to the east mids next week!
leicesterseddon Posted 4 August 2007 Posted 4 August 2007 we got around 8,500...in the car i heard on radio leicester martin allen saying he was expecting a 'full house' i know the club have to sell the games but isn't that a bit excessive !!!! i have never heard of any team (save the 'big four') getting more than 30,000 for a freindly....esp. against pompey, who, although a good side are not a big status club. the club are talking up another one of their 'sell-outs' for the first game against blackpool...sorry, but that's just not going to happen as i said i don't have a problem with the club promoting the games but if they keep this up it's going to get embarrassing. i was there today and it looked bloody empty
Mickey O'Neil Posted 5 August 2007 Posted 5 August 2007 Didn't we get 16k+ one time at Filbert St for the ManUre reserves game?
Toby or not Toby Posted 5 August 2007 Posted 5 August 2007 Didn't we get 16k+ one time at Filbert St for the ManUre reserves game? Wasn't 1 of there big players playing coming back from injury? Can't remember who though! Also was you in kop yesterday?
Geo V Posted 5 August 2007 Posted 5 August 2007 Just under 9000 isn't that bad an attendance I suppose. I know the Leicester FC media band-wagon is in full force with MM talking of a 45,000 capacity stadium and MA hyping up the sell-out home games but the fact is this was a pre-season friendly and people are gearing up to the proper stuff so thinking this game would house a near capacity crowd is a little too ambitious
