Yeah I can understand that. 

You get lads and ladies on here that have lived in different towns and have a soft spot after keep an eye on local football. 

@ladyram is a Barnsley fan really

@David loves Grimsby Town

And @rynny keeps a close eye on Leicestershire Prison AFC. Won't go into that though. It was never proven and the car was unlocked tbf

:lol: yeah....and the Tykes beat the dirties today anorl!!

Forest is our only derby match.

Then you've got the teams you love beat or games where both sides take a good following and there's a bit of needle;

Leicester - hated them in the 90's, then didn't care when they dropped to Division Three, then went pretty much every season to the King Prawn when they smashed us every time and celebrated like they'd won the cup and their stupid police escort for three hours, and the fat bald fake Tango Man and their clappers and their league title with donkeys like Wes Morgan and I just can't stand their success and their European adventure and Lineker and Claridge and Manish and Savage, and how they have so much to loathe I can no longer say we don't care about them... Arrggghhhh

Stoke - know more Stokies than Forest fans, horrible town, coldest ground in the world, smaller than us but consistently repeating our 97-00 period and having the occasional European away day. Again - that could be us, but it isn't.

Wednesday - original "we're massive" club, have a better away support than pretty much anyone else, better city than Derby, Tango man, always a good atmosphere from both sides home and away, horrible police, stupidly cramped away concourse, claim to have invented every football chant ever sung.

Birmingham - absolute toilet of a ground, annoying accent.

Wolves - annoying accent, never win away, all their fans think they're in an episode of Real Football Factories.

Leeds - massive chip on their collective shoulders, thrive on being hated, chant about being champions of Europe when they never have been, arrogant, crap city, too Yorkshire and charge too much for tickets.

Burton and Chesterfield are too small and so rarely played to mean anything.

Get the Forest thing and love the Derby days but for me it's got to be the Foxes plain and simple from growing up.

When I was a kid I played up front imagined I was some bloke called George or Hector my old man had told me about, the lads I played against called me Hales, I really couldn't get my head around why? When I got pushed into defence at playground breaks, my best mate thought he was some bloke called Birchenhall, another claimed to be Worthington, bet neither of the real pros had more lumps kicked out of them by an imaginary Macfarland, who tackled more like George Foster.

All ended up a bit baby squad v dlf in our fake believe playground scraps. This carries on to pub behaviour in teens and friendly banter now.

Thats why Friday it will mean more to me than a lot of Derby fans, but then I grew up and came back to live in the South Derbys/N.W Leics border and stuffing them would make my weekend.

That's it ... Let it all out, makes you feel much better than bottling it all up :D
