A few Leicester City fans who had frequented King Power Stadium for years, following their tenure at Filbert Street in a bygone era, made the difficult decision to step away during the previous campaign. This was an entirely understandable development considering the depths to which the team and ownership had, regrettably, plummeted.
In no way should any Foxes supporter have been criticised for deserting the stands in 2025/26. For the ownership, the executive leadership and the majority of the playing staff had abandoned the faithful long ago.
Any City devotee not in attendance still followed the trials of the club, painful as they were. Not to mention sustaining their bond by purchasing merchandise, engaging in spirited debate on fan forums, or gathering at local haunts to share in the collective agony of the matchday experience.
The consensus among those who chronicle the plight of the Leicestershire outfit was, certainly in this writer's case, profoundly pessimistic for the upcoming campaign. Expecting a contraction in attendance and a mass exodus of season ticket holders seemed only natural given the organisation's dismal recent incarnation.
A testament to unyielding devotion: The resilience of Leicester City's blue army
However, the Blue Army has once again demonstrated true character: it remains steadfastly loyal, consistently performing above and beyond the call of duty for City. In spite of an inept chief football officer and an seemingly unqualified chairman, the Foxes have somehow managed to galvanise.
"In a stellar show of loyalty, the club has sold 22,253 season tickets for the 2026/27 campaign - and have held discussions about increasing the self-imposed season ticket limit for the 32,261-capacity King Power Stadium."Leicestershire Live
In an incredible turn of events, Leicester have "maxed out" season ticket sales for the 2026/27 campaign, this report suggests. Whilst the club has temporarily suspended further sales, those still yearning to return to the fold have the opportunity to register should additional availability arise.
Under-18s took much of the extra allocation. Hopefully the hierarchy honour this remarkable show of loyalty, as it is a gesture that the current powers-that-be scarcely deserve.
