Forest are on the door step of Notts County but their main rival is Forest.

‘My only mate’ come on, I’m not a complete billy no mates

but in fairness his Dad is a big Villa fan too and also didn’t/doesn’t care about us. I’m sure there will be some needle when we play them next season but I imagine the seesaw will be heavily weighted in our direction in terms of importance of the game.

Can’t say I’m looking forward to it as I know my mate will be unbearable if they beat us.

Id never claim there's no rivalry. And it's definitely felt more by the support they draw from Warwickshire than those in brum.
But their main rival, by some distance is Blues.

And I'm not sure where you worked in Leicester, but that's not my experience, and many others would agree.
You don't hang flags from bridges and riot for teams you don't give a shit about

My old football team once played against Braunstone in a cup competition; they kindly left piles of dog shit scattered around our 6-yard box.

To answer everyone's points, having worked for 30 years amongst Leicester City fans I can quite assure you that some of them wanted the worst to happen to us, ie go bust.

Im friends with quite a few 6-fingered sister shaggers and none of them wished it upon us and all actually congratulated us through gritted teeth, at the time they laughed but it was all local rival banter

Same here. My daughter played football for a team in Leicester and the Leicester Ladies Academy set up at the time they won the league, and although it was through gritted teeth that I congratulated them, it was nice to see a team not in the big 6 win the title, giving other clubs like us some miniscule hope that they we could one day do the same.

None of them wanted us to go bust, but did laugh at our predicament, so I look forward to giving it them back, and having a laugh at their expense.

Can't agree with that, it was a once in a lifetime freak that will never happen again and it pains me they were the beneficiaries - Hate the fact they won it

Exactly. Leicester fans in particular try to make a thing of not caring… they’re lying to themselves and it looks desperate. They’re the third wheel of the Forest-Derby rivalry just as we are for Birmingham and Villa.

Remember when Luke Littler said he’s ‘really not bothered’ at the darts? SPOILER: he was in fact very bothered.

That is my point. They don't play each other so a local rivalry would be silly. They will still enjoy watching each other struggle and lose though.

I knew they were in serious trouble but reading that.... 100M in dept to Macquarie at over 8% interest, plus KPI seemingly not in a position to bail them out. A fire sale of a lot of their players looks certain if they get relegated, the board think the value their squad is around 200M, but who will take them on given some of their current earnings.
