Guest ttfn Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Newcastle average 50,000+ gates,Sunderland 40,000+ gates,Leicester 30,000+gates..Leicester is the biggest city by far,how do they get there crowds?Most will get there by public transport or on foot. The metro connects the area well so it would be mad to go by car.
Tom's Pasta Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 They have more seats and they're bigger clubs
ScouseFox Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 i'm disgusted we don't get a higher average tbf
Leicester Lass Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Newcastle average 50,000+ gates,Sunderland 40,000+ gates,Leicester 30,000+gates..Leicester is the biggest city by far,how do they get there crowds? Well their stadiums are bigger for a start. Did you think of that one?

purpleronnie Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 because they're football mad in the north east innit.
Jace Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Its due to our ground holding 32,000 and their grounds having more seats available, apparently there isn't a problem because when we get relegated everyone will stop going
dayday Posted 23 November 2014 Author Posted 23 November 2014 Well their stadiums are bigger for a start. Did you think of that one? Obviously,doesn't ask the the question though..how do they get so many fans,we often say we shouldn't increase our capacity,these teams puts us to shame
Mark_w Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 How are Newcastle and Sunderland's Rugby clubs getting on?
dayday Posted 23 November 2014 Author Posted 23 November 2014 How are Newcastle and Sunderland's Rugby clubs getting on? Means nothing,a lot of the tigers fans are not even from Leicester,plus you only play 11 home games in the aviva. Prem
Mark_w Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Means nothing,a lot of the tigers fans are not even from Leicester,plus you only play 11 home games in the aviva. Prem The city would have a lot less Rugby fans, and by extension would almost certainly have more committed football fans, if we didn't have one of the best Rugby sides around based here. I don't particularly care for Rugby/know how well supported the Tigers are, but that's a fair comment isn't it?
One Legged Beaver Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 We should easily be hitting 55,000+Pretty disgraceful to be honest.
Soar Fox Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Well their stadiums are bigger for a start. Did you think of that one? We wouldn't be able to sell out a 50,000 seater stadium.
Guest ttfn Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Higher proportion of fourth generation (or higher) locals living in the area.
Unabomber Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 I am now aware that Leicester is bigger than Newcastle n Sunderland. I just thought they were bigger cities with more folk there.

Not sure really,everybody I know who goes to the football,have never once said I ain't going this weekend due to the tigers playing
Kinowe Soorie Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Too many Hippies and Do gooders in Leicester to watch over pampered Millionaires.
LCFCFOX6190 Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Almost everyone from Newcastle supports Newcastle, that is why. Far more people in Leicester support the bigger teams.
st albans fox Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Newcastle upon Tyne has a population of 250,000 but including the surrounding urban area its population is almost 1 million. County Durham was the largest local authority in the region with 513,200 (sunderland's area) leicestershire has a population of just under 1 million with over half the population living in Leicester's built-up area. the issue being that the outer reaches of the county are closer to derby, nottingham, birmingham, coventry and northampton. in the northeast, you either support newcastle, sunderland or perhaps middlesborough
Jace Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Coventry and Northampton are stealing all our fans
StanSP Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Why do you even care? It matters very little in the grand scheme of things. And as already said, the stadium capacities have a massive say in it.
woddyuk Posted 23 November 2014 Posted 23 November 2014 Coventry and Northampton are stealing all our fans Personally I'm thinking of going to watch Bournemouth.
