    That's one more game than me, good old Foxes Player for my weekly live action. Great attendance as you say.

    Will prob end up going to about half the games this season. Brighton and Doncaster are my last 2. Theyve been fairly spread out and as the seasons gone on and weve crept so far ahead, it has effected my leg room :(

    At the risk of perhaps upsetting some on here, which is not the intention - why are you not selling out the full capacity?

    Good Q tbh. I think it lies with Money. People maybe picking & choosing which games to go to & then theirs work issues, plus away fans don´t seem to travel when there´s nothing to play for.
    When we were at Filbert St. we only averaged about 18.000 odd (in the same position we are in now), some thing like that anyway & our ave now is about 24.000 this season. I don´t think we´re complaining to much. 27.669 is a very good turn out for us. The thing is IF we go up we´d need a bigger stadium some weeks, expect sell outs then.

    blackpool only brought 345 fans---if they had sold their allocation as a lot of teams do we would have been nearer to 30000 which with segregation is almost a sellout

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts TigerFILEY, you can sleep well tonight in the sound knowledge you have taken the piss out of Norwich City today.

    I always thought your fan base was a bit bigger than current attendances are showing, especially as the 'typical part-time' fan would normally come along during the good times, i.e. trailing a blaze of glory and PL bound. Without doubt you will sell out, probably most weeks (if not every week), next season, or that is what I would expect <ok>

    Do you have a reasonably large 'fixed' segregated section where the away allocation is, or is it flexible?

    32k stadium.

    Around 300 away fans in a zone that holds 3k.

    Around 27.3k home fans, holds 29k.


    1.7k fans off a sellout isn't bad when you consider price and opposition.

    So, that is a fixed enclosure? If so, it seems quite a waste of seats unless you are top flight, or in big cup games.

    Yes, we've always allocated around 3k fans. If we sell the home end out then we'll probably ask for those seats back if the away fans aren't selling out.


    As we didn't sell our end out yesterday, we didn't ask for those seats back.


    Cup games require 15% of the ground so we don't have a say in that unless we write to the F.A. I believe.



    But you'd have to have a half decent reason to do that, right? <laugh>

    Wish I could have been there but the uni work is hindering the amount I can go- bloody typical. I am going to our next game against Yeovil as it happens to fall on my 21st birthday! :)
