Did I hear Clive say he may have to sit out the QPR game as well due to a suspension,or did I dream this?

You must have dreamt that, he's had 4 yellow cards this season

Clive's suspended?

[Flying Fokker]

No potg all season

The club has sold on the day at the ticket office for a few games. Last home few home games?

As my penance for three home games in a week I’ve been dragged to Fosse Park this morning. I hate shopping and especially places like this where people seem to lose their shit while shopping.

So:

1) I cannot wait for that pre match pint, on my own, away from this madness and I can get excited for the game.

2) My football stuff is in the car ready to go from here. My daughter saw the Cov scarf and wanted to wear it. I mean she’s recently turned 4, and had no real idea she was wearing a football scarf in Leicester. But I enjoyed it!

Brawl with Oggy and Rob in the tunnel

Feel for you. Places like that are my idea of hell.

They're the areas where the big advertising banners usually are.

Isn’t there usually another block or two they open for games selling like this? By the away fans or has that gone?

 

[chiefdave]

Wasn't expecting this to be a sell out tbh, we are massive!

Dunkin Donuts is the only good thing about that place.

Block 4 already sold. They didn't open block 5 but not sure they will with Ipswich in block 6.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Any news from the Ipswich camp as to whether they are rotating or going full strength?

That’s what she said

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Got a feeling this is going to pens

Especially with Leeds Wednesday and QPR coming up on Tuesday. Fair play to King, correct pricing and fans have responded. Hopefully turned it into a proper cup tie !

Why leave it so late to release these? Silly.

Bloody hope not, I’ll miss my train.

Would be especially annoying after freezing my nuts off vs Wednesday in ET/pens

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Think we’ll draw this 1-1 and win on Penalties

Where's Saddle with the team news?

 

[Evo1883]

I think it's great that the club is so well supported these days , we used to think we couldn't sustain big crowds but thanks to a few years of upturn and new ownership the club is definitely sustaining the support

I wonder if we’ll ever get to the stage during our lifetimes where we need to expand the CBS. Sounds daft but there would have been a time the thought of 30K at home was daft

 

[Gint11]

Curious what our fan base ceiling actually is

 

[Evo1883]

It's a tough one , but if we needed to put as many fans into an empty stadium as we could I'd not be surprised to see over 50,000

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Probably bigger than we would expect considering there is no professional side in Warwickshire

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Curious what our fan base ceiling actually is

Probably quite high, one club city and if we got to the PL we’d sell even more home tickets and sell out every week for sure, certainly wont reach an Old trafford or Emirates or Anfield, but maybe near to a stamford bridge or Stadium of Shite at 40k

 

[Johhny Blue]

Dunkin Donuts is the only good thing about that place.

America?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

If we extend the CBS to 40k and we’re established in the prem I’d imagine we’d be close to selling it out most weeks

that would be class. Which stand would they expand do you reckon?

 

[skybluecam]

Once again the shuttle buses are shite. Walk into the coach car park at 13:28 to see it driving off.

North stand is the only possibility surely

Does it happen a lot
Obviously I’m not interested im just asking for a laugh

 

[skybluecam]

I’ve only tried to use them twice. Last time the same thing happened then the next one didn’t turn up, so had to get a train and missed KO. Not sure if it’s a regular issue or I’m unlucky.

Loads of room behind the east stand.

Big gap between the current stand and the service road

There really isn’t on matchdays, reducing the space and adding an extra 5-10k trying to enter would be carnage.
