Leicester Fans seem quite confident for Saturday

[1964FOX]

Always nice to have some intelligent and good natured comments on here from opposition fans so thanks for dropping in 1964Fox. Personally I have some concerns about Saturdays game just because we're on such a good run. Draw would do me nicely but a win would be brilliant. Hope we get a good game and look forward to welcoming you guys to the Amex next year...

Thank you, I usually view the forums for a few days prior to registering to find one that has genuine fans on. Can't see the point of coming on a forum and acting like a dick like some do, including my own club's fans. It gets you no where, I knew here would be ok once I saw your thread about about the Plymouth fans re-united game. Absolutely fantastic effort and considered attending myself but it's 225 miles away and have to go to Cardiff away the following day so would cost a fair bit as my wife and lad travel everywhere with me.

When they visit, I wish them the very best of luck squeezing '3-4K' into just over 2,000 seats. Should make for an interesting spectacle!

Tough one, this. We're in the odd position of big-spending, high-crowds, high-profile-manager, big-name-players Leicester City likely to raise their game to play us. Weird. Personally, I'd take a point from this one if offered it.

True. If Leicester beat the team at the top of the league, then their previous poor performances can be excused as "a team needing time to gel". Could also kick start their season. We will need to be very very strong indeed.

Sadly there may be some basis for that opinion if one looks on other clubs forums in relation to what purports to have been said by Albion fans.

Much better to be a little reserved and surpise others and, more importantly, to not end up eating the proverbial humble pie.

It is great that we have started well but no way does it mean we are going to pass through the Championship like a doze of salts. After 5 or 6 games nothing can be taken for granted though, after this coming Saturday, I may personally feel more optimistic if we don't lose.

Usually it's kids on the other forums but i take your point. I also always have this feeling it'll go tits up next game - but i had it all last season so what do i know! I think it comes from yrs of experiencing us f'ing it up!

Leicester have some of the most passionate supporters in the country. For what its worth I think Saturdays game will be an absolute belter, Leicester know already it's a game they really need to win and if they do it could kick start their season, we know the pressure is all on them and we can lay down a real marker with three points. Both are good footballing sides and in front of a full and passionate audience, this could be one of the great games of the Championship season.

Said it before and say it again. This has Peterborough and charlatan away written all over it.

Or indeed, Cardiff.

To be fair, they have some impressive away attendances...6k to Coventry, 1k to Bury (league cup on a Tuesday), but there's no need to be rude. If we take 2k that is a good effort considering the distance. I would doubt they would bring 4k to ours if they could. But hats off to all fans that travel away, regardless of how many.

Leicester is right in the middle of the country - nowhere is very far away. That said, they probably would bring 4k here if they were playing like us, and could have the seats - primarily because it's a new ground for them and because of the seaside factor. The fact that the Albion play in Brighton always adds a fair few to the away attendance.

Apart from the confidence on that thread it doesn't seem a very happy place. More than one post about the side being knackered after 70 minutes in previous games and having full backs that can't cope with tricky wingers.

Oops. Their weakness is our strength.

Yes, but Coventry is 25 miles from Leicester, basically a home game. Not knocking there away support but most teams in this league could take that many to a game half hours drive away, especially one with the best squad on paper in our league.

I think 2k is pretty good going, considering we took 1800 to Bristol last week (300 mile trip), and have Liverpool, Leeds and Palace coming up at home in the space of a few days.

I dont want to sound arrogant but we do have decent away support (we seem to have a regular 1500 that go to most aways) and yes it does help we are in the middle of the country, our worst away trip is just under 200 miles. Didnt realise we will be limited to 2000 at your ground so I ill have to get my tickets on priority day 1. Please don't expect massive atmosphere at the KP unless you are going to create it, it's becoming like most new stadia mostly quiet but we do have our moments.
I would be amazed if we don't sell out our allocation at your place.
I love the comment that Chaventry (Cov) don't count, you are spot on about that.

 

[Chris_Highwind]

I dunno, a lot of them seem to be predicting Brighton win or a draw!

 

[Braders]

Are we really getting a rep as 'cocky'? Heard it a couple of times now - maybe they want to look at the Saints forum...

There is abit of "Cockeyness" from some fans to be fair - I put it down to Euphoria at new stadium/new team/ great start and would say any other team would be the same.

Your allocation will be nearer 2,500 but same ball park really.

Some shite "away support" comments and we are going to sit back and hit them on the break apparently.

Brighton Pre Match Talk - FoxesTalk Forum

They're all wise before the event. Like the Bristol City manager last week. The result won't lie, tho they'll come out with the usual 'lucky Brighton' tosh. Oh well.

They all think cms is going to score and the only way to beat us is to out score us. Not one mention of Barnes, could be our secret weapon.

Leicester away average following last season was 1876 and placed them 4th out of the football league teams. Plucky little Brighton whilst in league 1 were 9th overall with an average of 1396. Why on earth they would start suggesting that 2 - 2.5 k away fans is not good I have no idea.

We would all expect them to have a slightly larger following than us, but all this talk of 4k away fans is a load of cock. Their largest following all of last season was 3818, and was likely down the road at coventry or something. Ours was 3,300 at Saints I would imagine, which is what 90 minutes - 2 hours away for most of us. Some people really do spout a load of bollox. If they keep struggling , I would happily bet they do not even sell out at our place.

Yes we do think CMS will score as you beat us to get him, seems to be a law that players have to score against their old clubs OR clubs that nearly bought them.
Watch out for Beckford though he is also bound to score due to the law about new players scoring on their home debut.

You got a link to these stats or this your excel magic again? Be an interesting read
