Local rivals

They were certainly all once on our fixture list, as were Beduff-I have the programmes to prove it. However as you say, maybe not all at the same time. Also Coventry Sporting at Kirby Corner. I once did a three in a day tour which comprised Boro v Sporting (lunchtime), Cov v No Idea and Hinckley Athletic v HSJ (evening kick off).
Hinckley of course had four clubs: Town and Athletic (who we played) and Hinckley FC who I recall ground shared with Athletic at Middlefield Lane. Town & Athletic made up the four by merging and then playing on the outskirts of Town.
And then there was the late Leicester United and those epic Marsden-baiting scenes....
I may have got some of that wrong. Apologies if so.
I had forgotten that the last time I saw Boro win promotion outright (as opposed to via Play Offs) was away at Sheepy Road. And that got quite feisty at times.
