How many fans Leicester have comparably with the big six clubs
By Akash Roy
Over the last year, we’ve all witnessed how impactful fans and communities are for a football club. Our beloved Leicester City is no exception to this.
Events that transpire on a field are influenced by the engagement of the fans roaring around the stadium. That is precisely why home & away matches work as a vital advantage or disadvantage if you compare the conditions in both those distinct scenarios.
The success of a football club is directly proportional to its popularity. More number of fans usually means more reach both locally and globally. It is followed by more appeal and buzz. These factors lead to the business side of it. A club heavily relies on support from their locality for ticket sales to fill up their stadiums on every matchday. A lot of local businesses support the club with their retail markets, where merchandise is sold.
Stadium tours are a thing that overseas fans on vacation partake in. All these small elements give rise to a sustainable clockwork that facilitates the club and its tributaries regularly. A football club can now sell many kinds of memberships to engage with the fans and further their reach. Digitally social media and video games also have a lot to account for a franchise’s appeal.
