Leicestershire Towns

Recommended Posts

Hinckley and Lutterworth are pretty much a city towns just with the odd Cov scum fan and glory hunting boys. I was wondering are towns like Market Harborough the same just with say more cobblers fans and is this similar for places like Coalville with Derby fans?

I know this is off track re Leics but there are loads of City fans in Kettering and Wellingborough, albeit Northants towns of course. I was born in Lutterworth in the late 60s and have supported City ever since, despite living 250 miles away from LE1 nowadays! :-)

When I was younger, Loughborough used to be Forest & Liverpool biased and a bit City, but as Forest deteriorated and we grew through the nineties it became more City focused and that's kinda hung around.

I now live in the middle of nowhere, I suppose East Leake is the closest town, which is still in Leicestershire... just... & that's a tad more Forest than City, their promotion then successive playoff appearances under Billy Davies drew them out of the woodwork

I used to work in Luffbra and would say was 50/50 LCFC/Forest.

There should be a law that says you support the team of your shire or be publicly flogged....IMHO. lol

I've never met a Cobblers fan in Market Harborough. Everyone is either Leicester or a glory hunters, including a sudden rise of man city fans. A few Leeds fans though. Also in areas like Kettering and Corby there are a lot of Leicester fans.

Northwest Leicestershire towns like Coalville, Ashby seems to be split between Leicester, Forest, Derby and Leeds!!

I'd say Ashby (in order) - LCFC, MUFC, DCFC, NFFC, other non specific Prem glory hunters, county immigrants (LUFC, PUFC, etc)

The sticks > towns and cities :trumpet:

Urgh, you're welcome to the sound of crickets and the smell of cow shit!

Aren't you Welsh?

Yes - believe it or not that doesn't mean I was born in the middle of nowhere and I live in a City by choice.
