But it does to an extent because of the proximity. Had it been Watford or Swansea we'd all be cheering them on. It's amazing how many Leicester fans seem to have surfaced in Nuneaton recently. That should be fertile territory for CCFC but we seem to be losing it completely.

It's not arrogance, more frustration and envy. The problem with a lot of our fans is that our expectations are not high enough. People who 'settle' for mid-table in the 3rd division should have a serious word with themselves. We are where we are because that's where we deserve to be. But for...

To some extent I don't know how much all of this matters. Clearly we want as many ST holders a possible - but actually we have easily the highest number of fans who pay on a match by match basis in the league, so our gate revenues must be pretty good. Bradford's average gate was only about...

Revenue. A lot will just pay the extra and those that won't will just move and pay the standard rate. It's just a way of generating more money. Remember this season, the 'open' areas sold out on 4 occasions and they had to start opening blocks in the north stand. Happens again next season...

You've just listed all my favourite things and made them out to be bad :D. Been in there a couple of times, was OK but all a bit sanitised. Give me an open air trough to piss in and a seat next to a toothless moron dropping the C-bomb now and again every day of the week.

I think it will be slightly more than that, but probably in that ballpark. There was a surge in sales in the lead up to Xmas this season, pre-season sales were 5800. Just making the point that we have sold 7000 STs in league one at the Ricoh before, and that was the last season when we had an...

The 7000 threshold is not totally unrealistic. We sold more than that in our first league 1 season. It's unlikely, ST sales I suspect will be more or less what they were this season. Perhaps if they'd set the lower threshold at the level of this season's sales it would have been greeted with...

I was thinking about having a little moan, but then my wife reminded me that I blow at least 20 quid before every game in the casino and so I should wind my neck in. These prices are OK. Move on, nothing to see here... Oh, and I had a mate moaning to me about the increase earlier, until I...

Is there a glitch in the matrix or something? People seem genuinely happy for them - a club whose fans don't a have a good thing to say about us. Yeah, i love the fact that today I'll spend the day having my club ridiculed by Leicester fans at work. I love the fact that driving through...

Who is getting upset? A couple of people mentioned that it would have been nice if he had put Arma in, but that they understand why he didn't. Upset, really? And I think you'll find Murphy has received a lot of criticism at times this season. He had a poor second half of the campaign, and...

Make that 1/3 of the gates we get. Has nobody noticed our average gate this year is actually 12,500? The first time we've seen an increase on the previous season since SISU arrived I think. Season ticket sales won't really move. We sold 5700 this season (after a pre-xmas boost), 5000 last...

Perhaps not the best example given that after that spell of 'ole' football we conceded possession in a very dangerous position and could quite easily have conceded. Of course we should try to keep the ball and not lump it forward, but we do have a tendency to sit on leads and almost give up on...

I always find it amusing when people use a 'shots on target' stat to prove a point. As though the number of times you chip the ball into the keepers arms from 30 yards is somehow more indicative how well you have played than the number of times you head it wide from 6 yards. I thought we...

Eh? What are you talking about?

Judging by the comments on the Millwall forum, I think you've got that the wrong way around.

This sort of thing isn't that unusual, both ourselves and Bradford had a 3k cap imposed by the police at blackpool this season and could both have sold a lot more, but a 2k cap at a stadium like the ricoh is just a nonsense really.

Because the club have published the away attendances at the ricoh for at least the last 7 years (obliged to by the league), but actually I'm mistaken as West Ham did bring 6200 which is the largest following at the ricoh since it opened, but on other occasions it has been capped at 5800 (chelsea...

No club has ever brought 6k (with the exception of West Brom in the cup) let alone 7k. Away end holds 5800 when absolutely full, but usually capped at a bit less than that.

If I ever announce at the beginning of a season that I'd settle for ninth place in division 3, I kindly ask that somebody shoot me in the face.

No mystery, the attendance is always based on tickets sold and a number of season tickets holders didn't turn up. Crowd was boosted by the price offer. Lots of kids there tonight which I guess was the idea.
