Leicester City get £640,000 for live TV coverage

“What's gonna happen to attendance figures when we make the prem and all games are televised??”

“boots - when i used to buy a season ticket, i never ever considered the fixture list before deciding to purchase. I don't know any season ticket holder that does. I think you are making a point in hindsight to justify your annoyance.

Also, before making emphatic statements to back up your point, ensure that they are correct. On 26 March 1988, the nearest corresponding home fixture 25 years ago, LCFC attracted 10,353 fans against Hull, considerably less than half of the Filbert Street capacity.

The previous year, whilst playing in the top tier, we attracted 7,384 fans against QPR and only 16,785 against Man Utd.

This season, on one horrendous snowy friday night for a televised game, the club recorded a home league attendance below half of its ground capacity...the first time since moving to the New Stadium.

In fact, since the new stadium was built we have averaged a fill rate at nearly 78% of capacity.

Heres to new facilities attracting a more diverse and less fickle crowd, whatever the opponents, the day or the price.”

“Yes that maybe so but the world has moved on since Filbo St Twin towers attack changed the world as we knew it, and it hasn't been the same since. So you will renew your season ticket if we make the Premier League. That's not really being a true foxes supporter. I don't think for a minute we will get there this season. But just in case we do. Save up around a grand because that's what you'll be paying to watch Premiere league footy, and about 40 to 50 quid to walk in of the street. Also they play a lot of football on a Sunday. Any way it's your choice mate, and I respect you for having an opinion.”

“Being a season ticket holder I base my decision to purchase that ticket on the fixture list to ensure I can get to most of the games which normally are at traditional football times and are on traditional football days. I accept an occasional change to facilitate television as it provides an income to the club and for those less fortunate whom cannot be in attendance. Following this season I most definitely will not be purchasing a season ticket unless the Football League (or if by a miracle we aspire to the Premier Division) step in and limit the amount of changes to the fixture list.
And for the footballing hierarchy whom only see the goal of the Premier League and nothing else, they need to take a long hard look at the fundamentals of the human psychology. Changing a winning team clearly unhinged the whole mentality.... or did something more sinister happen to sideline our recent most productive goal scorer on that uneventful afternoon at Peterborough? More changes the following week in the FA Cup put paid to any competitive interest I aspired for this season. It's all in the best interest of the club they say… I say, not when stadiums are half empty for games that 25 years ago used to fill the stands.
Where ever we are next season, my games will be chosen.. I bet I'm not the only one!”

“Loop the Loop LuLu....Michel Platini doesn't want video technology, but would rather put SIX match officials around the pitch to stop refereeing errors...what does that tell you? He's a muppet...sound familiar LuLu?

I've got a great idea, why don't you come up with the money & buy the club off of the Thai's.
You probably need a little time getting the funds together, so while you do that, do us all a favour & put a sock iin it!”

“Whatever their ultimate motives, the owners seem respectable people and can hardly be criticised for wanting to make money from a business venture. Isn't that we we all want from an investment, be it an isa, a pension or a bet at the bookies.

They have invested their hard earned money and given us hope in the process and if they turn a profit it means we are in the Premier League so what's not to like.

All they ask for in return is to offer our support. They have little say over tv coverage, I'm sure they would decline the option if they could given the relative pittance they are compensated with.

I for one will keep on supporting because I love Leicester City. I want us to succeed, not for Nigel, not for the players or the owners, but for the one constant...us the fans.”

“Well Mr Codbrain whoever you may be. Put yourself in the owners position. They have shelled out millions upon millions of pounds and have kept very quiet about the decline of the team, in spirit, and on the league table due to failing to win games and letting the minnows of the league to make us look stupid.

Our owners deserve results, and unfortunately Nigel is not giving them any at the moment, and is unlikely to in the future. So I am afraid he will be gone as soon as we drop out of the playoffs. You can be as loyal supporter as you want to be. But my friend we are in the year 2013 and things have changed dramatically from the 60,s and 70,s So must we the faithful. Folk on here are threatening not to renew their season tickets. But they will be the first to renew as they have done for years.”

“NEVER ANTI CLUB. ANTI RUBBISH MANAGER CODDY GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT”

“I'm a loyal, paying, season ticket holder supporter of Leicester City Football Club. Definitely not your buddy.

Unlike you. I support the club. You've been very vocal with your vile anti club comments, a typical come crawling from under a stone critic when things aren't quite going our way with your sack the manager drivel.

Shameful.”

“Who???? And who are you? Your name just about sums you up buddy.”
