midland_red Posted 7 January Share Posted 7 January Don't get the hate for Cov. There but for the grace of God could have gone us. Instead of Khun Vichai it could have been hedge funds, games in Northampton and eventually a stadium in the middle of nowhere. Their achievement in coming back from that deserves respect. Forest is a different story. Would love to see the Shitty Ground burn down! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember going when Waghorn bagged that half volley, and bar the bits near the away end it looked half empty. and Kingys chip in a 1-1 the year after I think ... ah the yellow kit!

Hard to hate them in that sense. * Some nice villages and countryside once you get outside the city, but you can say the same about Leicester.

We hate Coventry (a bit), but hate Forest more. Forest hate us (a bit), but hate Derby much more. Derby hate Forest, but also hate Leeds ( for some bizarre historic reason) Leeds don’t care about Derby, but hate Manchester United (for some historic reason nobody remembers) Manchester United don’t care about Leeds, but hate Liverpool. Forest (rather laughably) also hate Liverpool as it makes them feel big in a way hating us doesn’t. That brings it back to us Imagine all the clubs fans hate around the country wanting them to disappear or whatever. End up with nobody to play.

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 7 January Share Posted 7 January (edited) On their forum saying that Florest and Direby don’t care about us .. yes they do. Cov are just annoyed that we finally won the FA Cup when their fans said we wouldn’t- Shite City where most of it is prefab built because of WW2 Annoying thing is we always beat them and for once, law of averages will probably let them win this one, but still, “Mind the Gap” Edited 7 January by Lineker's Left Foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When 8000 of us were rattling around Filbert St, a good many came from Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone and surrounding Leics/Warwickshire villages. Majority of them hated Cov, me included, I'm not so bothered about Forest or Derby, if I could pick a team to lose every week it would be Cov. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackneyfox Posted 7 January Share Posted 7 January 11 hours ago, Leicssmiths said: Leicester do have a history with Coventry that goes back to the 80s when we invaded the pitch at Highfields Road and took the home end. Obviously it all depends on which side of Leicestershire you live. I have lived in Highfields and now live in Stoney Stanton. I have always hated Coventry, no other team comes close, but I understand why Forest is some peoples main rivalry. Never been totally convinced by it though. I remember the pich invasion but taking the home end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always had more City fans on the West Terrace than Window Lickers in the 70's. They always had a block immediately behind the goal but were surrounded on both sides and down the front along the wall. We used to walk through their fans from one side to the other with City scarves on display. Just a dare for daft teenagers but managed to survive.
