Donington is a DE postcode, like East Midlands Airport.
-
There are a few decent ones from around Europe online, as well as that one of London that everyone from London seems to reckon is nonsense. Nottingham have a reasonably-sized rugby team, though.
-
There's one group who are already doing that. If people want that then rally with UFS.
-
Imagine Rugby being a fairly even split, maybe slightly in Cov's favour? Know three Leicester mates who live there (although they've all moved from elsewhere, admittedly). Kegworth perhaps a reasonably even Leicester/Detby/Forest three-way split? Always see a few in City shirts jump off the train at Long Eaton, but reckon they're well in the minority that far north.
-
Used to have huge respect for the four blokes who would be sat in Northampton Town shirts in Harborough Spoons every Saturday evening. Town's Leicester, other than them.
-
The section being next to the away end would be worth it about 0.5% of the time. The rest, especially against good away ends, would make the task even harder. Do people really think Cov's singers by the away end are as good against anyone else in this league? They're heartily admitting that today was the biggest home game since they left Highfield Road.

League One & Two - 2023-2024 Season

Pitch invasion in progress... -
Who's not condemning the banners or saying they're acceptable?
-
The behaviour is unacceptable. It's just not going to cause anyone to have a scrap today. The example you highlighted would be a different matter entirely.
-
Absolutely zero chance anyone decides to have a fight today because they saw a child's drawing of a helicopter.
-
Us. If you have to justify it by getting pedantic about what tense you're singing in, chances are that the chant isn't the brilliant wind-up you think it is.
-
Always seems to take off against clubs who've actually won the thing, but never against ones who haven't. Our fans can be such weirdos sometimes.
-
The Crown, Robinsons and Brennan's (all next to each other) and The Duke of York. Top city, it really is.
-
I've lived up there and my in-laws support a Lanxashire club. I can confirm this is correct. The idea that you're only allowed one rival in the whole world - as long as they agree with you about that too! - is indeed exclusively a Derby & Forest thing.
-
Pretending not to care is outright weird. Even if you've nowt personally against any of our local rivals, being top dogs in your region is part of the fun of being a football fan. Enjoy it.
-
Doubt you'd get three figures doing it if you started "Jump up if you love Leicester". Even in SK1 the appetite to bounce is rarely there save for a few rows.
-
Got me thinking (along with the thread about the helicopter nobhead) how good our end was at Millwall in the League One season - pulling daft faces, waggling our hands and going "woah" every time they did "Milllllllll", and singing "It's so quiet at The Den" over and over any time they tried "No one likes us". Original and witty ways to deal with a fanbase like that. If our current ST priority system allegedly rewards years and years of loyal away support, then why aren't our ends full of people who are up for stuff like that these days?
-
Sheringham has a steam railway which goes to Holt via Kelling, a boating lake and my favourite putting green in the world (tough cliffside links course). Cromer's slightly busier with more fairground attractions and a pier, but for a proper "pleasure beach" type vibe you'd probably have to drive further round to Great Yarmouth - we always used to tie that in with a day round the Broads. There's a nice horse sanctuary and farm park at West Runton too.
-
I mean, people don't bleed white when they get stabbed though do they?
-
The Runtons in between are also a decent base for access to beaches. Think I like Sheringham best of all those places on balance, though East Runton has the sandiest beach (if I remember correctly).
-
There were people in there who looked like they were at their first ever football match. It was weird. Watching your club win their first ever title at Old Trafford should be Real Roy of the Rovers stuff, but I'm actually glad we didn't manage it that day. Would've been polite applause for the greatest story in football history instead of the scenes we got to enjoy the following evening.
-
As always, the solution is simple... win it at the first time of asking and you won't have to play any replays.
-
Both sets of fans arguing about their "group" being better - despite both of them outsourcing their designs to the same company to print off for them. Honestly, how could anyone be proud of that?
-
Yeah, he was definitely among that clique. Think it'd be a culture shock for him as much as anyone else if he came back. The club's moved on.
-
I now have an image of 100 pissed-up Leicester at the top of The Shard ruining everyone else there's engagement/anniversary/"boy done good"/"LDN with the girlies" Insta photos.
