Are Leicester now a bigger club than us??

I say this because today while shopping in the metro centre Newcastle I counted 6 kids in Leicester tops and no Everton tops in sight.

Now, before everyone gets angry and start giving me a history lesson I know in my life time I've seen Everton win more trophies than Leicester. But, if you look from the start of the Premiership we have won the FA cup while they have won the league and two league cups.

So they win the recent history and are now in the Champions league, something we haven't achieved in our history.

Turnover wise no doubt with winning the league and being in the Champions league next season they will surpass us in the financial stakes as well.

Fanwise is going to be a tough one but according to my older brother who lives in the far east he has commented on how big Leicester promote themselves ( club shop in Bangkok airport etc ) with them winning the league, they will have a new generation of supporters.

So, are they?

They dwarf us now.
 

This time next year it will be Leicester who ??
I'm glad they won it though rather than Spurs or Arsenal
 
In the mid 90s I used to see Blackburn strips for sale up here, don't now.

To be fair they have clearly built a little market in Thailand but I wouldn't imagine the revenue from that alone is anything to worry about.

There will always be glory hunters who tag onto success, I know far too many Chelsea fans up here that wouldn't have even heard of Chelsea pre-abramovich. It will probably be the case that their ranks swell (even if it's temporary).

If they are lucky Leicester might be successful for 5 seasons, by that I mean contend for Europa league spots, but that might be more than they get out of this purple patch. The real target I'd suspect is to become an established PL side, and in that respect they certainly aren't bigger than us.
