Corky Posted 7 October 2012 Share Posted 7 October 2012 There looked to be more than 22k in there yesterday. Both ends seemed full and more in the West Stand than previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promised land Posted 7 October 2012 Share Posted 7 October 2012 I'd say Bristol brought about 2,000 less than Hull. According to their official site they were allocated about 930 tickets and I don't think they sold out. Doesn't the whole away corner hold near on 3000 if full, so around 900 in the middle cheese section seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted 7 October 2012 Share Posted 7 October 2012 Don't know if its been mentioned anywhere but Brighton game is a fans fixture now Brighton & Hove Albion will be the next side hoping to breach Fortress King Power Stadium, when Leicester City return to home action on Tuesday 23 October. The Foxes have built a perfect record in front of the home supporters in the early stages of the new season – Bristol City the latest of five teams to leave Filbert Way pointless so far this term. And as they look to strengthen their position among the npower Championship’s early-season front-runners, Nigel Pearson’s side will be eager to claim the scalp of a top-six rival such as Gus Poyet’s Seagulls. The game also sees the return of the popular Fans Fixture, with tickets priced from just £15 for Adults, £10 for Under-22s and £5 for Under-12s. Admission for Under-8s will be FREE in the Family Stand and £1 in all other public areas. Coming straight after the forthcoming international break and in the middle of half-term week, the game is expected to attract a large family attendance to the home of the Foxes, which should provide a terrific atmosphere for Nigel Pearson’s side, as they look to continue their impressive start to the season at home.

Col city fan Posted 7 October 2012 Share Posted 7 October 2012 The two corners nearest the Kop always look to be the most empty in the ground ( where the Fosse Boys used to be and opposite). How's this for a radical idea? Charge a flat 20 quid for those seats, have it as a pay at the turnstile thing (none of the having to go and queue for a ticket nonsense) and see whether punters just show up on the day. Surely it's best to fill em somehow than having em lying empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Dream Posted 7 October 2012 Share Posted 7 October 2012 There was an advert for a new Head of Ticketing recently, hopefully we'll get a competent, knowlegable and in touch person to improve attendances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 October 2012 Share Posted 9 October 2012 Don't think the attendances will pick up until at least chrimbo and that's only if we are still playing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 9 October 2012 Share Posted 9 October 2012 To be honest I couldn't give a shit about attendances. The people who really give to the atmosphere at the ground are already at the games, day trippers and "premiership fans" I can't stand. I've spoke to 4 guys in the past week who said they will get a season ticket as soon as we get back into the Premiership......says it all really!

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 October 2012 Share Posted 9 October 2012 I agree with your post gingerrrfox however as a club we need to be getting sell outs for both the revenue and atmosphere etc. there will always be glory hunters with every club. Even little old Leicester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spoke to 4 guys in the past week who said they will get a season ticket as soon as we get back into the Premiership......says it all really! That's not entirely true, there are people who usually go in L and K who dont have season tickets this season, including myself. Besides, it's nice to see a full-ish ground and I feel proud that we can attract the numbers that we do at this level, it's just a shame we're not getting as many these days. I don't really like it when fans turn up just because we're good but every club has them, you're always going to attract more fans if a) the tickets are cheaper or b) if the team is more successful. I'd rather see a full stadium than 15K hardcores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
