AdminRussell Martin has delivered an emotional message to Leicester City supporters after the club confirmed that all 23,500 available season tickets for the 2026/27 campaign have been sold, underlining the remarkable loyalty of the Foxes fanbase despite the disappointment of relegation to League One.
The club announced on Thursday that the full allocation had been secured ahead of the new season, providing a major boost as preparations continue for the campaign ahead.
Speaking about the supporters, Martin made it clear he understands the responsibility that comes with leading one of English football’s most passionate clubs.
βI know what this Football Club means to people and I know the responsibility that comes with that.
βWe have to work, we have to give everything, and we have to build a team that our supporters can feel connected to and proud of.β
The Leicester boss also praised the incredible backing shown by fans ahead of the new season.
βTo hear that 23,500 Season Tickets have sold out is incredible. That gives everyone a huge lift.
It tells you everything about the loyalty, the belief and the passion of the supporters, and it gives the players and staff a real sense of what we are playing for.
βThat kind of backing is powerful. It gives energy to the Club, it gives energy to the players and it gives energy to me.β
The message is likely to resonate strongly with supporters who have endured successive relegations but continue to stand firmly behind the club.
Leicester recently increased their season ticket allocation due to overwhelming demand before eventually selling out completely, a remarkable show of faith from the fanbase.
For Martin, the challenge is now straightforward: repay that loyalty on the pitch and lead Leicester City back towards the Championship at the first attempt.
With supporters already playing their part, attention now turns to building a team capable of restoring pride and delivering success once again.
