They moved into the new stadium whilst they were in Division 1. They get better support because they're better supported.
Really? Whilst I'm not dismissing times have changed but in 2000 when Leicester finished 8th in the Premier League and won the League Cup they still weren't selling out Filbert Street with an average attendance of 19,827 whilst we finished 14th with 20,809. It seems to me that Leicester took to a bigger stadium better and we never(so far anyway).
You just have to look at Southampton I guess - the Dell wasn't full all the time and then St Mary's comes along and they have 30,000 wanting to watch them. We fall out of the Premier League at exactly the worst time possible where all this rich money was coming in and the Premier League went worldwide and everyone wanted to watch it.
If only the Ricoh had been built when it was supposed to have been who knows where we would be now.
It's all a bit dissapointing when we're the only club who has moved to a bigger stadium and it hasn't worked out when it has for every other team Leicester, Brighton Southampton etc
