The outer areas of Leicester are ok and there's lovely countryside nearby. It's such a common misconception by southerners that everything is grim up north.
Leicester are a bigger club, but then they didn't have to pay for their stadium, did they? They were the reason, points deduction came into being for going into administration, as they wrote off the cost of it all.
They are the same as Palace, and haven't learned to pay their way.
Interesting that when they were in the Championship we beat there attendances every season apart from the first season at the Amex. That was only because our ground was extended then. Crowd wise they are no bigger than us.
