More than 200 people have objected to a planning application for a gypsy church in South Wigston.
Residents of Dorset Avenue are against proposals to convert Aylestone Park FC's former club house into a place of worship.
The Life and Light Gypsy Church submitted its proposals to Leicester City Council last year.
Spiritual leader Jackie Boyd has previously told the Mercury the congregation totalled about 80 and the site would not be used for large-scale events.
However, 233 people have written to the council to raise concerns over "big, fat gypsy weddings", similar to those featured in the Channel Four documentaries.
One resident, who asked not to be named, said: "It's the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding thing we're all worried about – hundreds of caravans coming down and taking over the site.
"We're all pleased with the amount of public support we've been able to gather, though.
"We've had people from the street, from the Fairfield estate and beyond writing to the council, so hopefully they'll sit up and listen."
The letters of objection raise a number of points of concern including traffic, noise and parking issues.
One of the letters on the council's planning site reads: "On the Life and Light Mission website it appears worshippers, obviously not being local, but from all over the country, would visit with their caravans in tow, turning the parking area into a campsite."
Another resident wrote: "The extra traffic would cause a noise problem for all the properties that front the site in the evenings and on Sundays, which are the main times that working people are home enjoying relaxation time."
The 3,700sq m plot, which is being leased by the travellers, would include a church and the existing car park.
The football pitches, formerly used by Aylestone Park FC, will not make up the proposed church grounds. They have already been earmarked for an extension to Saffron Hill cemetery.
The number of comments means the application will have to be dealt with by the council's planning committee.
