I know we have Bolton first but here is a preview (of sorts) of Leicester's game against Forest next Saturday

Good read.

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.

I'd say majority of Leicester fans view Derby as our main most hated rivals. Not Forest?

Largely depends on where you live and your age but it seems Forest are our main rivals;

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

Of our local rivals Forest are the one I hate the most, in fact the only one I particularly dislike at all.

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.

I'd be proud of us not the other two.

I want us all back in the Prem though

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.

[Spudulike]

Tigers are our biggest rivals. Hate them.

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

They're oddly protective of each other...

Don't say that you'll get in trouble.

I mostly concur, but for a brief while calling Forest/Derby the A5-2 derby was especially pleasing.

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

[THEFOXES1884]

Be a good game this as both teams really need to win in more ways than 1.

Correct

Liked the whole preview of your blog, Chris. And thanks for letting me have my say!

used to enjoy looking forward to the Forest game but of late seems like florist have gained abit of a yoof BNP attatchment.

Lat years mid week cup game a vast amount of em walked towards KP singing Allah is a peodophile...abit uncalled for...

[jonthefox]

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.

[Fox92]

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.
