I was in stamford yesterday and was very surprised by amount of tigers fans heading to the rugby. Of course Stamford is quite an upmarket town, but you wouldn't think Lincolnshire would have many interests in Leicester sports team. 

 

Annoyingly seen two Cov shirts... can't escape those buggers.

Tigers will always pull in from further afield due to there being a lot less professional rugby teams and the team is largely successful.

My daughter lives in Grantham and she’s obviously Leicester. I’ve seen a few Leicester shirts knocking about Grantham when I’ve been too, plus, a few Leeds shirts 🤷🏻‍♀️ It is mostly Forest though but not all, thankfully. 

I live in Grantham and see quite a lot of City shirts tbf. Expect a drop off in the amount of Forest shorts seen in the wild as all the fans convert back to Man United/City, now that they are not going to Istanbul

I've spent a lot of time in Shepshed the last 10 years and I'm yet to meet a Derby fan. I'd say mainly Leicester and more Forest than I'd wish to see.

Surely it's London because of it's size and population. 

 

There's a fair few Leicester in Rugby, but whether it'd be enough of a majority compared to others I don't know.

Loughborough isn’t a three way split and I’d say Shepshed is pretty staunch Leicester

I can confirm that Amble by the Sea in Northumberland is now a City stronghold......Me(two kid's who aren't really interested in football,but a city shirt is what they are wearing if they do try and play) and the Mrs who takes a passing interest.........I'm not bothered about the ribbing from the many Newcastle fans........(To be honest it's all Toon up here!)

Yes we are just outside Grantham and always pleased to see the shirt. Of course we can technically claim JV is closer to Grantham than Leicester at Stainby so I claim this as a Leicester stronghold.

I live in Rugby and I wouldn't say it's here. We've got a good amount of us, but Coventry's recent success has led to a big shift. A lot of Manchester united shirts have been replaced with sky blue in the last few years.

If you're near the city it's Leicester and anywhere in close proximity to other places in the Shires will have fans of that club's city.

 

Think that's the case anywhere.

Vards lives in the next village to me. That’s one of my many claims to fame 😂
