Gordon Milne got us (LCFC) promoted to the top flight in 1983, he then kept us there on a limited budget. He upset some of the supporters when he swapped Jim Melrose for Tommy English (tbh neither of whom were particularly good). some fans demanded a change and they got their wish in 1986 when...

I would have thought everyone in the away end would be in sky blue?

ha ha, I think he is questioning your grasp of the English language

The King Power stadium is approx. 20 minutes walk (2 miles) from the centre point of Leicester (Clock Tower). Traffic on match days in the immediate vicinity of the stadium can be a nightmare but I wouldn't say that it is detrimental to traffic in the city in general. As a lot of people can...

I can see what you did there.......

Actually impressive research! not sure where you got that from, so in just over half the seasons from the last 50 years LCFC had a higher average attendance than CCFC. I was just enquiring why the OP would consider CCFC to be a better supported club than LCFC

Alan, please inform me in which of the past 50 years CCFC had a higher average league attendance than LCFC? irrespective of which division each club was in?

what are you intimating then?

Surely everyone pays £10, not just the extra 3-4K? So total gate receipts would probably be down. But I agree with the general point, cheaper price promotions are good to entice people to the game; especially 'kids for a quid' type offers. Get the kid hooked and you have a fan (income stream)...

Some people can have an allegiance to a particular football club, but also be interested in football in general without getting caught up in petty local rivalries and the associated blinkered views. As I said, I am interested in what is happening at your club, as it could easily happen at many...

OK, at least that is a fair and balanced reply, as you may or may not have guessed I view this forum as an outsider, so I have no particular allegiance to either side

so? what you are saying is that the normal rule that anyone can have an opinion and we should respect that, does not apply when that opinion is opposite to your own? you are quite obviously right and they are quite obviously wrong!

I didn't criticise your support! moron, I merely pointed out that taking a large away following to a premiership ground in a cup competition was the rule rather than the exception for a lower tier club! And I acknowledged that it was something that Lester had done when we spent our season in the...

I read your forum out of interest and I do have sympathy with your current predicament, but to claim that taking large a following to premiership sides in a cup competition shows proof of your away support is a bit of an own goal! all it shows is supporters of a division 3 club having a big day...
