clipo 871 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Football rivalry is about so much more than the 90 minutes of a game......i dont understand how cities with only 1 club can have big rivalries.......its all about the rivalry in the pubs,the workplace,the streets........how can you have that when everyone around you support the same club !!.......One of the best parts of the country ive seen for football rivalry is the Midlands.....Birmingham,Villa,Wolves,West Brom all so close to each other they cant help but run into each other on a daily basis it becomes so much more than just about playing each other......you pray your rivals lose just as much as you pray your own club wins.........Clubs like Villa or Wolves would be far bigger clubs than a club like Newcastle if they were in a 1 club city.......what would Celtic/Rangers rivalry be like if they were not in the same city.......Arsenal/Spurs seperated by one street......the best rivalries in football are where clubs and fans live,drink and work side by side.....then kick f**k out of each other on a weekend wolves are a one team city Link to post Share on other sites

yorkshire 151 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 SAFC v Nufc Is pure hate Maybe that's not a good thing But it's true Folk from Berwick down to North of Middlesbrough Either generally follow Newcastle or Sunderland They live and work amongst each other or in Proximity It splits friends'families and communities Combined they get 100k crowds But in truth on Derby days it generates the support and rivalry of around 600 - maybe close to a million people on both sides Like I say it ain't just the City's who's boundaries Overlap but supporters from Berwick to Boro That it riles up. It's Massive It's history It's rivalry It's Hate It's Passion It's life and death to many It's SAFC v Nufc And Nufc v SAFC You can argue all day long on this one But it is the Biggest English Derby bar non they cannot hate each other more than i hate wednesday piggy sprinters . i have travelled far and wide and your match day is never over living amongst your rivals . it maybe a big thing safc v nufc to you lot in the far norf, but it means nothing to the rest , your not rated as important . the passion you feel is the same up and down the country , prob no less but defo no more . i have been to both nufc and safc more than once and your just not scary , funny but not scary . i no longer go to beautiful down town bramall lane or live in the area , my kids will support who they want . as long as its not wednesday . 1 Link to post Share on other sites

keepdiggin 9,221 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I'm a Wednesdayite hate the pigs (blades) with a passion, but bumhole lane is a scary place to go, Got respect for the bbc some of my good mates use to run with them in the 90's. Wednesday and united might not be the biggest rivalry there is but it is to me, I have no interest in other teams. How somebody can go and watch another team is beyond me.

THE STIFFMEISTER 14,558 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I know of a Sheffield lad who follows both teams, as in if weds ate away, he'll go watch united, strange but apparently it was the done thing when he was a lad, I know of another lad from Nottingham who insists that until a decade or so ago, forest fans would cheer county winning when the scores were announced at half time, and when the two played each other, it was a free for all in the stadium as to who sat where, bizzare As for the north east, I'll always have a thousand times more respect for Sunderland as i saw the explosion of the supposed toon army when keegan arrived and in my line of work, I've met dozens of Geordies who follow united and Liverpool, but not one mack who supports anyone else Ps I was at a Sunderland Carlisle game as a kid about 94 and they couldn't have been better in the pubs around roker park to a youngster Link to post Share on other sites
