A ‘soulless marriage of convenience’: Leicester, Coventry, and the M69 Derby — The Fosse Way

As Leicester pop up the road to Coventry this weekend, Chris Whiting ponders the age-old question: if a rivalry is named after a strip of concrete, is it really a rivalry at all?

Imagine writing this back in 2010 before Leicester had actually won a major trophy and not Mickey Mouse cups.

Edit...

The bit about arguing who's bigger out of the three East Mids clubs is funny. Do you think the general population really see Leicester as bigger than those two?

Derby and Forest are bigger clubs than Leicester, both in terms of history and fan bases. Although Leicester's fan base has grown during their recent period of success.

Far bigger imo

Hence why they both hate each other and see Leicester as a 2nd rival.

I’d imagine a lot of those who claim to not care would have supported the likes of Man City if Leicester hadn’t won the league. I know a couple of Leicester ‘fans’ who supported other clubs until they won the league.

Yep. They averaged 24,000 the year they got promoted to the PL. They'll try and say they sold out every week before they had success.

So, pretty similar figures to us then (at the moment).

Not sure what the issue is here, fanbase is pretty similar to us (if you exclude the figures since they won the league, which would clearly be quite similar to ourselves if that were to ever happen).

Forest vs Leicester is such a massive derby that it was a 3pm kick off in the Prem last season…

We’ve spend most of this season in the bottom half, and are averaging more than they did in a season they ran away with the title.

You’re just such an arrogant fan base with such short memories.

10 of the extra years in the top flight have been in the last 14 years. Unlike you, when we got relegated from the PL in 2001, we had a lot of bad luck. There were no parachute payments and we also had to deal with the ITV deal going under. On top of that, we had a corrupt chairman who sold our ground unnecessarily which amounted to us being in a rented stadium.

Ironically, you didn’t own your ground for a long time either so when you look back to when the Thai bloke took over, there wasn’t much between us at all. No one takes league cups seriously ffs. It’s like Burnley claiming to be a massive club because they won the league in the early 60’s.

When we hit financial trouble and went into admin, we were dealt with points deductions. Something that did not happen to your lot. You just screwed over local businesses and started again. You’re the reason there are sporting penalties for financial trouble.

Are you aware that SISU tried to buy your lot before they took us over too? Things could have been so different.

Admittedly, you’ve done well over the past 10 years but let’s not pretend it was always amazing. And look at you now? The most embarrassing fan base in the land, one of the worst atmospheres in English football. Think you belong in the top 6 of English football, which is laughable.

I went to Madrid and Vienna because of those League Cup wins.
Every team puts out their strongest side in the final even nowadays, even Man City.

Very little between the two clubs for many years….then when they both run into financial trouble , they got a bunch of billionaires for owners and we got a bunch of c•unts ! That’s about it apart from they have a whole county to draw support from which they do quite well from and we have a smaller catchment area…..all that said I think their fans have got used to their high status and this reflects in their desperate attempts to manufacture an atmosphere at the WanKing Power. Our rise from the abyss has helped galvanise our supporters into being just that….supporters.

My old Nan, god rest her soul, was a Fire Watcher in WW2 in Tamworth. She always told me about the Coventry Blitz when she could see Coventry on fire from the top of Dosthill , she said that auxiliary fire brigades from all surrounding areas went to help. Except Leicestershire. That’s why Cov hate Leicester.

We are not claiming to be one of the biggest clubs in England like Leicester.

They're up there with the most deluded fans in the country. You'd be forgiven for thinking they're part of the big 6, or whatever it's called now, rather than a Championship club.
