Ipswich or Leicester?

I know adding this post in will make it look like I was on the wum all along but this has just been posted up on our Board and I think it could be used as perhaps one of the many barometers in measuring Club size. Note: I said ONE of MANY

Anyway, 13th ain't bad in fairness!

I thought you might say that!

 

cant see little Lester on that list

 

That proves it then, Leeds are a bigger club than both of us, case closed

 

Amazon now decide the size of clubs

We make a massive profit in Thailand through selling merchandise in King Power stores. But if Amazon's story suits you better then we will go with that

 

I honestly couldn't give two ****s about who's "bigger". As long as we keep winning games, that'll do me.

 

One thing for certain is QPR are smaller than both Leicester & Ipswich.
QPR- Smaller fanbase based on their home support & pathetic away support, small, grubby, outdated ground. Or in other words Shi* ground no fans!

 

Pathetic away support? I'm not sure what you're talking about, we sell out our away allocations most weeks. 1600 offered at Ipswich, 1600 taken.
Home games are the highest % full of any championship club (92%) as opposed to Leicester's 71%(which is pretty poor for the top team). Although our ground is one of the smaller ones in the championship, we're still 8th highest average attendance. The home end is essentially sold out every week, but championship sides tend to not take the entire away allocation- thus why it's not always at capacity.

Leicester's home average attendance is only 6k higher than ours, even though your stadium holds 14,140 more.
That's because Leicester's average is 23,000, 10,000 less than your 32,500 capacity. Which explains why it's such a soulless bowl with a naff drum-induced atmosphere. It's essentially a bigger Madejski stadium.

Don't worry about the outdated ground though (which a much better atmosphere than yours), because we'll have a new 40k seater soon that sh1ts all over the KingPower

 

Now there's some common sense talk right there. Well said Freddy lad.

Now that you mention it, you've won summat like 5 in a row now. How much further do you think you can take this run mate? There's no reason why you can't keep right on going and win a few more if that performance against Derby is owt to go by. Just beware of a Leeds backlash on Saturday. I always hate playing a team after they've copped a hiding. As a matter of fact, I think I'd rather be in Burnley's position this weekend than your own. Wednesday might take their eye off the ball a bit and get caught out. There really are no easy games in this league are there?

Anyway, best of luck Saturday Gents.

 

The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

 

Blimey this thread is still going!

 

I'm afraid Hoopster just won't let it go for some reason.

Is it time for it to be closed?

 

Not on my account!

I guess he was thinking that it would start a rival slanging match between Ipswich and Leicester posters but it looks as though you have had one with QPR!

 

Mind the gap !!

 

That wasn't my intention at all, honestly. Sometimes the non-seriousness intended with posts on Fourms such as these gets lost. The only thing we have to make sure others recognise that we don't mean any offense and are just mainly having a laugh are those bloody smiley face thingies. Tone of voice, demeanour etc can't be translated onto written pages such as these.

Andy, I'm surprised at you though, contemplating closing down this thread. You were all for free speech on our Board after the QPR-Leicester game!!

 

Not sure mate. If we keep putting in performances like last week I'd fancy us to beat most teams. I'm definitely wary about a potential Leeds backlash and reckon they'll set up to frustrate us. We've got Boro the week after and they're on the up too.If we keep putting in good performances, I'll be happy and hopefully the results should follow.

 

Obviously, because we'd just played you and discussions were there to be had.

This thread is turning into a slanging match about who is 'bigger' than who. Of course you know this, it was your obvious intention.


There are potential arguments (note Grifter's pathetic post above) so I'm thinking about nipping them in the bud.

 

Is that what you'd call your ranting? "Discussions"!

If that's what you want to believe mate, no problem.

Just Grifter eh? Not you at all? Man I still can't believe you're a Mod!

You obviously can't handle a bit of banter Andy mate so I'll leave it there.

Take care Foxes, best of luck v Leeds

 

Note my point.

Slanging match. Just leave this thread to die the sorry death it deserved since day 1.
