Leicester's biggest rivals?

[FuriousFox46]

I was just wondering who the fans think our biggest rivals are. It'll no doubt be Forest but it doesn't seem reciprocated in the same way Coventry see us as bigger rivals than we see them. The Midlands is a funny old place for rivalries

city fans hate derby and forest but they are too pre-occupied with hating each other to give a toss.

so we'll have to settle with cov. who we dont hate as much as forest or derby

[Guest Mee-9]

Coventry?!?!?!

Forest for me, always has, always will.

[themotivator]

yes, i said we may have to settle for cov as our biggest rivalry, because derby and forest dont seem to bare that much hatred for us. personally, i have always hated forest the most.

They do, they're just in denial.

Not this year though, we've started early so I wonder if we can get close to the record of sixteen times set in 1981.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

F****t for me, growing up in Loughborough in the late 70's early 80's when they were winning stuff was hell because of the glory hunting, fickle sad tw*t fans they have. I hate them, i mean REALLY HATE THEM!!!!!! Up the CITY

[Matt]

Urgh.

[Zingari]

nottingham is on the trent

[North-LondonFox]

Anyone else aware of the ongoing feud with Chelsea? A few mates who support them and they hate us - I think the old Baby Squad may have had a few run ins with their boys - they have a couple of songs about us as well.

I think they hate that we hate them so much that they actually hate us but pretend not to to wind us up, if you follow.

All depends where you live, I live on the Nottinghamshire border (slightly inside Notts but I'm in denial) so for me its Forest geographically

But I feel we've had far more classic games against Derby in the 90's-00's so I feel they're bigger rivals emotionally

Coventry is miles away and I feel they're no bigger rivals than anyone else in the country

[Bilo]

Couldn't give a shit about Coventry. We didn't consider them rivals at all until about five years ago when we rarely had Forest and Derby in the same division. Their traditional rival is Villa, so they never really cared about us either. It's a manufactured rivalry of convenience because neither of us were in the same division as our traditional rivals for years.

On a Saturday at 3.00, we'll go over 30k for Forest, get reasonably close to it for Derby but struggle to get 25k for Cov. And don't believe a word of Forest and Derby not caring about us, they may hate each other the most but they do care about us and take great pleasure when we go tits up. Look at the amount of Forest trolls we had when we lost 5-1 last season, and when we were relegated in 2008. They love to see us fall.

I loved Derby's struggles in the Premiership last time round, but I can't build the same amount of dislike for them as I can for Forest. The latter have so many obnoxious, delusional and braindead fans they're just easy to dislike.

1. Forest

2. Derby

Simples. Coventry aren't even rivals for me so are therefore not listed.

I agree actually - also, my old man says that the original rivalry back in the 60's was City and Forest. The Derby thing came later when the Rams started doing well under Cloughie

[Asha]

Of the three, I dislike Derby the most.

[Bugg]

In my opinion, Forest is the team I dislike the most mainly for the reasons that Bilo has posted above. I don't give a shit about Coventry but if people from Hinckley etc. then I can understand as it is closer to Coventry than the other two cities.

[Adster]

It depends on where abouts in Leicester you live, I live in Burbage and I'm surrounded by Cov fans, hence i consider Cov to be our biggest rivals.

This is right. Living around Hinckley I hate Cov more than the other two which is probably down to where I live more than anything. Bit surprised most people don't even consider Coventry a rival though.

[VinceNoir]

to me it's always been Forest. Don't know why though.

[Jackirius]

I've always thought of Forest as our biggest rivals. But my biggest rivals are Norwich if that makes sense

[Zingari]

the one that we're playing at the time

Yeah, half the time I live in Oundle so I always want Peterborough to do shit but I wouldn't consider them a rival and it annoys me how my friends act like there's a big rivalriy between us and the posh when in reality, no one cares and Sven's toilet bowl's bigger than their stadium anyway. :sge:
