Not really. Their history is hardly illustrious and they're way below QPR in the league.

I think of QPR as essentially a premier league team who've had some hard times, like Swindon.

Leicester are a championship side at best, I'd love to see them relegated but if a great manager like Holloway goes there then it seems unlikely.

BWB thats bollocks. Leicester get bigger crowds these days and have had much more success in recent years than QPR. Admititly they are above them in the league though

I think clubs are only as big as the division there in really. I hate Leicester, have done since 1993.

QPR are where they historically live, just about, I think.  Remember they won the League Cup as a lower league team.

But QPRs Loftus Road only holds 15,000 is it?

I have no idea how many they actually get, but they might only have lower attendences than Leicester due to space.

Both small fry clubs tbh  Wink

Based on current attendances and turnover (boring I know, but a valid rationale for the size of a club) you have to say that Leicester are bigger. Mind you, when they played at Filbert Street I would have said that Rangers were the bigger club. There I go mentioning a new stadium again, apologies!

Leicester have never been outside the top 2 divisions...Rangers have had lengthy spells with us in Div 3....

 So we've played them loads and there's not much in it head to head, this means that Leicester have to be considered "bigger"
