Irrelevant to whom, certainly neither set of fans whenever we play
To be fair he's quite young still .
Coventry Leicester was a nightmare fixture for years .
If we ever got back to the top flight I doubt he'd say it was irrelevant.
I'm hopeful in around the 70 more years I might squeeze on this planet we'll make it back at some point.
We will
We do it without a billionaire it'll be all the sweeter
Sadly no teams win big trophies without these owners ... football has changed so much
Leicester must have no rivals now given that you can't be rivals with teams in other leagues. Cov, Derby, Forest. They're rivals with Man Utd now I heard.
They’re an East Midlands side. They’re Rivals with Forest and Derby, both of which have arguments as to why they’re better.Leicester must have no rivals now given that you can't be rivals with teams in other leagues. Cov, Derby, Forest. They're rivals with Man Utd now I heard.
I’ve only ever seen us play Leicester once at the Ricoh but you’re right I would have been about 12 or so. Not being from Cov also probably plays a part of not seeing the rivalry. I have more dislike for Wolves if anything.

we’re a mongrel side with Nuneaton as our rivals. Nobody in the West Midlands gives a shit about us
They did hate us. We’re irrelevant to them now.We're closer to Leicester than Derby are to Leicester , this isn't true at all, they hate us

One of my mates is a Leicester season ticket holder. He didn’t realise we’d been promoted until we signed Matty JamesAgain, it's not true .
My gaffa at work is a Leicester fan , they hate us

16% dislike us. I’d imagine 16% of our fanbase dislike Sunderland. Doesn’t make it a rivalryRight so in 2019 on their forum View attachment 20100
Further down the poll are a list of all the big prem clubs , yet Coventry still come 2nd despite not playing eachother for 7 years at the time .
Leicester hate coventry ..this is a fact
We may be second to forest but that's a historical rivalry far deeper than ours
We were in the top flight till I was 11, so I grew up with it being Villa initially then switching to Lesta in the Championship years. First as they got their stadium for nothing, then got Milan Mandaric bailing them out of League 1, then the Thai billionaires writing blank cheques every year till they went up again.
Sounds childish, but 'it isn't fair'
Granted.. I personally still harbour a deep resentment for Sheffield United after 9816% dislike us. I’d imagine 16% of our fanbase dislike Sunderland. Doesn’t make it a rivalry

id swap though as would you

The way I look at us as a club is that we manufacture rivalries of convenience. In the 90s it was villa because we were the only 2 Midlands teams in the prem.
In the 00s us and Leicester again fit together because we’re close and Forest we’re preoccupied with Derby.
In recent times we’ve moved to Sunderland (despite my protestations) because they’re convenient and irrationally dislike us.
We seem to just gravitate to false rivalries because our natural local rivals Nuneaton will never amount to anything
I think I hate Wolves more than Leicester

No but they’ve now moved up to a stage where they’re at least on an equal footing to ForestSo that's the same with Leicester then .
They aren't in the same league as any of their natural rivals
No but they’ve now moved up to a stage where they’re at least on an equal footing to Forest
No but they’ve been champions and have won it more recent than Forest. That’s some clout. Not quite European champions but our solitary FA Cup doesn’t quite stack up to Leicester’s achievementsI'm not sure what trophies won has to do with rivalries , or teams hating eachother ? Every single rivalry In football is down to location
Besides forest have 2 European cups , Leicester will never have that

I find that the Leicester rivalry came about because we were similar size clubs. It’s a mid 2000s rivalry because we had no othersI'm still not understanding why a trophy won would make teams hate eachother ?
Leicester won the premier league recently but still find time to dislike coventry forest and Derby.
None of these clubs have won anything for years and years
