I tried saying something similar to Johnny Wark above but he seemed to dismiss it out of hand.
Not very good at taking compliments those tractor boys!
I've always felt both Clubs are very similar and I didn't even think about the shirt colour. From what I've read so far its obviously just a personal thing from when I started seriously following footie - the early nineties - both outfits appeared to have a kindred sense about them.
Unfortunately I've discovered in the last half-hour that its been pretty much all in my own head these subsequent 20 years

Don't go beating yourself up about it mate!
I am pretty sure that while we were playing Leicester in a league game at Portman Rud the floodlights failed and the game was abandoned. Leicester were 2 nil up at the time!

I'm pretty sure that it snowed one time...

I feel like a child who's just been told there's no Santy Claus

Are you seriously telling me that Santa doesn't exist?
Clearly Ipswich: they've won the UEFA cup, FA cup, and old First Division. They were also founded 6 years earlier.
Leicester only have one valuable piece of silverware, the 64 league cup. Their wins in 97' & 2000 are completely devalued by it's recent Mickey Mouse status.
Ipswich have also been in a decent stadium since 1884, whilst Leicester moved to their soulless bowl (with hilarious drum-induced atmosphere) only 12 years ago. They're very much nouveau-riche.

I was there too ... the Leeds fans weren't quite so friendly! My cousin's boyfriend was a plastic Leeds fan (i.e was from Leicester but preferred to bath in glory) insisted we went in with the Leeds fans in the kop, Pen 4 as I recall on his insistence (he was a couple of years older than us and a mouthy ****)... loads of Leicester in there as well as Leeds and it kicked off late on ... poetic justice was that my cousin's boyfriend got his arse kicked first by the Leeds fans for being from Leicester and then by a couple of our likely lads for supporting Leeds instead of Leicester! ... poetic justice I 've always felt

Going off topic for a second but does everyone in every region of England pronounce the name of the jolly, gift-bearing fat man the same way as the Americans, as in "Santa"?
Perhaps you should start a new random thread on the Ipswich and Leicester boards to discuss it!

.Ipswich also win because they're the biggest club in their area of England.
Leicester just have a massive chip on their shoulder in the knowledge that they'll always be inferior to Forest. If you're looking for a proper historical midlands club Swords, with heritage and tradition- look no further than the 79/80 European champions.

This is very True but don't tell the Narwich scummers....!
I could well understand if Swords had written a thread about Ipswich and Norwich but to compare us to Leicester is just weird!
I have a massive penis!
Although I have heard that john Fallens is bigger!

Well I've already had one of my illusions shattered, I might as well go the whole hog and have every other core belief I held dear debunked an' all.
Next you'll be telling me no-one else fancied Ann Robinson on the Weakest Link.......
