Voll Blau Posted 4 November 2012 Share Posted 4 November 2012 Summed up the rivalry pretty well to be honest. "It's Forest and Derby, you're all on your own" has to be one of the most embarrassing chants in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yojoe36 Posted 4 November 2012 Share Posted 4 November 2012 Summed up the rivalry pretty well to be honest. "It's Forest and Derby, you're all on your own" has to be one of the most embarrassing chants in football. It's not just us though. Clubs like Middlesborough are in the same situation, when the North-east is more about Newcastle and Sunderland. Best to stick to the M69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 4 November 2012 Share Posted 4 November 2012 I'd say majority of Leicester fans view Derby as our main most hated rivals. Not Forest? Of our local rivals Forest are the one I hate the most, in fact the only one I particularly dislike at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seenitall Posted 4 November 2012 Share Posted 4 November 2012 This is weird, but how many of you would be proud of the E Mids if City, Derby and Forest were in the Premier League Top 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oadby Fox Posted 4 November 2012 Share Posted 4 November 2012 This is weird, but how many of you would be proud of the E Mids if City, Derby and Forest were in the Premier League Top 6? I would be very proud if LCFC made it in to the top six, as for the rest i would not feel any difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be proud of us not the other two. I want us all back in the Prem though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voll Blau Posted 4 November 2012 Share Posted 4 November 2012 It's not just us though. Clubs like Middlesborough are in the same situation, when the North-east is more about Newcastle and Sunderland. Best to stick to the M69 Derbies named after roads are invariably toss. For me Forest and Derby will always be our main rivalries. I'm not bothered by Coventry, although I accept it's probably different if you're from the Hinckley/Rugby/Nuneaton area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny the Fox 95 Posted 4 November 2012 Share Posted 4 November 2012 I'd say majority of Leicester fans view Derby as our main most hated rivals. Not Forest? Defo Forest mate! Everyone I know classes Forest as our main rival. I'd say more people class Cov as more of a rivalry than the Sheep Shaggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHux Posted 5 November 2012 Share Posted 5 November 2012 Derbies named after roads are invariably toss. I mostly concur, but for a brief while calling Forest/Derby the A5-2 derby was especially pleasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozleicester Posted 5 November 2012 Share Posted 5 November 2012 When i left long (long) ago, i always felt that Derby were the team i disliked most. On my return in 10/11 i was able to see all three (Forest, Cov and Derby) both home and away and i think that in terms of atmosphere and general "feeling".... Forest felt like the bigger games and the ones i enjoyed and wanted to win more! I think its always going to be more about where in the county you are...as the closer to the other team, the more likely we are to come across their scummy fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEFOXES1884 Posted 5 November 2012 Share Posted 5 November 2012 Be a good game this as both teams really need to win in more ways than 1. "UTF" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonthefox Posted 5 November 2012 Share Posted 5 November 2012 Just suppose cov suddenly got some big rich backer and found themselves in the same position as say cardiff (big ask i know), but they would soon become our main rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 5 November 2012 Share Posted 5 November 2012 I dislike Coventry the most out of all three, but I would like to see Leicester, Coventry, Nottingham Forest and Derby all in the Premier League again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
