Towns that are “Leicester”

[MattFox]

Was debating this with a mate the other night, what towns in the county and beyond have a majority Leicester support?

 

The only one in the county that I think isn’t majority City is Castle Donnington which is Derby

Ashby being the further West “city” and Stamford the furthest East

[Charnyst]

Hinckley’s all Leicester these days u see the odd villa twat never see any sky blue

You need to come to Burbage then as there are plenty of them.

People from Ashby are too far up their own arse

Corby and Kettering have a fair few

Used to have huge respect for the four blokes who would be sat in Northampton Town shirts in Harborough Spoons every Saturday evening.

 

Town's Leicester, other than them.

[Paninistickers]

I'd say our strongest outside of county towns are Kettering and Nuneaton. 

 

Castle Donington I'd nuke. Derby stronghold, weirdos (tho that's coz it's derby people escaping, rather than Leicestershire folk supporting them)

Yeah was going to come on and say we drop into Northamptonshire. 
 

Working wise I’ve surprisingly seen a few City shirts around Tamworth

More Villa than Sky Blue Hinckley side. 
 

Leicester is very dominant in LE10, even more so recently.

Another issue with the lack of general sale, these kids without LCFC supporting parents in the hinterlands between clubs will support clubs where they can actually watch them.

This, for me was why we needed to expand 4-7 years ago and may have missed a big chance to put distance between ourselves and Forest, fanbase- wise.

Grantham is all Notts Forest

Why?? I’d have said it’s extremely Leicester

[Muzzy_no7]

Bosworth and Coalville are Blue, especially Coalville with a lot of the baby squad having links there. 
 

Melton I’ve no idea, forget it’s in the county.

True 😂

 

It’s a weird one though go over the road into Swad and it’s all Derby

[Voll Blau]

Imagine Rugby being a fairly even split, maybe slightly in Cov's favour? Know three Leicester mates who live there (although they've all moved from elsewhere, admittedly).

 

Kegworth perhaps a reasonably even Leicester/Detby/Forest three-way split?

 

Always see a few in City shirts jump off the train at Long Eaton, but reckon they're well in the minority that far north.

[Hollism94]

Melton residents in general are just not into sports, it’s bizarre

 

Majority of young guys I speak to will tell me they don’t follow football. From those that do, Leicester have the biggest share. It’s probably 40% Leicester, 40% Big 6 plastics, 20% Forest.

Bosworth we compete with Tigers (who I'd say are dominant)... likewise any other posher county town; Oakham, harborough, uppingham

Loughborough is a weird one Leicestershire town, but whenever I've there more Forest fans I've seen than Leicester.

 

Nuneaton super divided, taking out the big six. It's very much Leicester, Villa, Coventry, Birmingham, West Brom or even weirdly a few Stoke. Stoke is wild weird one. But seen a few Stoke shirts here and there around the town.

 

Hinckley 97% leicester, but every so often you see the odd Villa or Cov fan but my guess they have moved from somewhere else to Hinckley.

 

Barwell is defo all Leicester, you don't dare wear any other shirt round their  

 

Coalville is more Leicester, but then again you seen the occasional Derby fan, but very limited.

Yeah Long Eaton is in Derbyshire but Forest probably edge it their

 

Always kicks off in the pubs on cloughie love in day

Loughborough changes with the wind. They had a forest spell but it's now swung firmly back on our favour. I'd say to the tune of 60%, 40% big teams and forest

Not football related, but have always struggled to understand why some from Nottingham support Leicester Tigers. I know a few. Perhaps rugby is less tribal, but I’ve still always found it odd.

[Dan LCFC]

I wish there was a map where it had all of a clubs season ticket holders & members locations pinpointed just to see where the support 'really' is. I'd look through it for hours, possibly days.
