I live in between Lutterworth and burbage and a few this way in my village too. In my close 2x Cov, 1x, Leicester, 2x Forest.

Sapcote??

Sapcote??

No mate

 

[Badge72]

I grew up in Burbage c30 years ago. Leicester somehow thought it was their back yard, but plenty enough Cov / Forest to create a nice little rivalry and associated hatred for the whole lot. The Union on a Saturday in Hinckley was fun after a derby.

Leicester. Thanks for the memories...

Sister lives in Burbage - Cov fan. Nephews and Bro in law all Cov fans and all have STs.
Think there are a fair few (Cov) City fans over there!

i lived in "bur-bidge" for a couple of years a long time ago. no one there had the slightest interest in football.
it was weird.

My parents live here and my Dad is an ST holder too so I spend a lot of time here and Hinckley. But they have my kids tonight so I’m representing Cov with my partner who genuinely can’t even fake interest when I explained the situation.

Definitely see more Cov tops around the village these days!

You’ve mentioned where you live before and surprised there’s that many Cov in those parts.

There isn't a Saturday mens football team over in Burbage or Hinckley, which is a real shame considering Hinckley holds the 2nd largest football stadium in Leicestershire behind the King Power. Burbage fucked off to Huncote to play there, AFC Hinckley play in Barwell and Hinckley Leicester Road folded recently. I live in Burbage so would definitely go along and support a local team if they played there.

Somehow there's enough rugby players to fulfil Burbage RFC and 3 Hinckley teams though. Easier to catch the ball with all their fingers though I guess.

 

[Tommo1993]

Free hit

 

[mark82]

Free hit

For Leicester?

 

[oscillatewildly]

Out for a few beers in Burbage tonight and sporting one of my retro Cov tops.

Most people I know in the village are Leicester fans, so I’ve already had a few looks.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Update/Casualty report?

 

[quinn1971]

In 20 games time when wer’e up this game will be the turning point, 100 % Leicester get our season going again they’ll be fuming

Last paragraph is laugh out loud stuff - well done!

Leicester/Cheating, who would have thought?

Bad omen for us today? Just had a fox run infront of the car on the way to work.

Did you run it over for luck?

 

[CovValleyBoy]

big day out boys & girls

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Must win at all cost. We could find ourselves in the playoffs very soon if our form doesn’t improve quickly, starting today 🩵

 

[Pusb1]

Has anyone got that sinking feeling that we have/will bottle it?

So far clear at one point (now down to 3 points). Typical Cov to throw such a good opportunity away.

Sorry to be the doom merchant. Guess it's too long being a supporter i guess!

I would have been gutted if I hit it. Beautiful animals, unlike those inbred cunts the other end of the M69.

We were always going to have a blip at some, as all teams do; it’s normal.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

3-1 win

Nope, look at the squad we’ve had and injuries, they’re more or less all back, we’ve had 17 goals in torp and Asante missing, wer’e still 8 points clear of 3rd, that’s huge,

Exactly and compared to mboros ours wasn’t even that bad, we only lost 2…normal service resumed today

 

[alexccfc99]

Right up and at them!!

Let’s go and shut a few people up - PUSB

 

[clint van damme]

Genuinely don't know how to call this.
I just hope we can get back to our pre December form which hopefully with players rested, returnees from injury and the new editions we will.

Despite the poor attitude that they seem to have in their squad, they still possess some quality.

Giving up a 12 point lead in a month is 'normal'?????

Never been more confident of a win against them, can see it being by a few aswell

 

[alexccfc99]

The first game this season I’ve woke up and felt nervous for

As much as we all mostly hate Leicester, on paper their team is top 2.

 

[CovveeBreak]

Hope we absolutely bury these cunts today.

 

[quinn1971]

Hope we absolutely bury these cunts today.

That pretty much speaks for everyone, brilliant

 

[CCFCSteve]

Massive game today. Just hope the team and the fans turn up

We’re there to be shot at the top and everyone raises their game now but hoping the mini break has done us some good. Still ours for the taking
