Been attempting to give a shit about this for a while now and simply can't get any more bothered about it than Charlton, Oxford or Wednesday. As funny as their demise was a decade ago, they're just not a serious rival in any way.

This from the Cov forum.  And he's not wrong.  Never seen such contemptible timidity..

Yeah he ain't wrong to be fair. We have some ludicrously dumb and reactive fans.

Not giving a sh1t is fine but, in my experience, people who genuinely don’t wouldn’t bother going on a forum to express that sentiment. That way it avoids looking too much like a Forest fan that tries to play down local rivalries because they think it makes them more relevant. It doesn’t

I literally can’t give a f&*k about anything else. I want to beat these c***s more than anything else right now.

There's a Cov fan in my gym. Can't help but respect a man of his...spherical shape, wearing an ill fitting Cov shirt in public. 

Poor bloke being fat shamed in a gym. Just say it how it is, he's a tw4t for being a cov fan.

We should go in to every league game this season with the mindset that we are going to win it.

 

In my opinion, we have one of the best squads and starting 11’s in the league. Hopefully this is the game that we start to believe it.

On twitter they are a right weird bunch!!! 

 

I thought Sean from enderby was bad these make him look half decent

Inbreeding is immense in that part of the world.  They are a sub human species and a risk to man kind and should not be allowed outside of quarantine.  Yet there are no protest, and all political parties ignore the issue.

I guess your views on Coventry are the same as forest and derby are on us tbf, I just find it odd though how a fan base can hate us so much and you still compare them to Charlton, and Oxford 🤣

People downplaying this, what do you get from it? Ignoring the local bragging rights (huge for anyone based in the West/South of the county), tomorrow could really set the tone for the season ffs. Lose it and the feeling in the camp and more importantly the fans will change dramatically. Things are starting to improve on that front but it will look very different if we lose to our biggest rivals in the league at home and sink down to upper mid table. Win it and we're right in the pack after 15% of the season gone and wind in our sails after a derby win, the whole thing galvanises. 

 

It's huge ffs.

I think people would rather turn up tomorrow, act all nonchalant and sit there with their arms crossed in a huff rather than let some neanderthal from down the M69 have the satisfaction of knowing that we actually do care.

 

Get into um. Needs to be a good atmosphere tomorrow.

It's a huge game because Coventry will be the best team we have played so far and, as you point out, the result has the potential to set the tone for the rest of the season. No disagreement there. I think it's just clear that the 'rivalry' aspect is much more intense for some fans than others, largely depending on where in the county they grew up. As a north Leicestershire boy I can honestly say that Coventry were not on my radar as a rival at all when I was growing up - to me, they were in the same category as Villa and West Brom. It was only when I started regularly following Leicester away and began hanging around supporters from the south of the county that I realised it was a such a big deal for some. These days I've absorbed it to a certain extent vicariously - it matters more to me because I have mates who will really be upset if we lose tomorrow. But as I'm still not personally acquainted with a single Coventry fan I'll be relatively immune from it, so the prospect doesn't scare me as much.
