Bearsy Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 (edited) Seeing as how there might be no more Poopeys next week I think we have to make preparations for selection of a new rivalry. The time for drawing up shortlists is now! I'm thinking maybe a poll for the first phase (mods?) and then second phase we could start interviews with prospective fanbases perhaps arrange a scrap or something and then get some new chants going and stuff. I've been having a think and these are the candidates I've got so far: Brighton ProsLocality Currently in the same league Should be easy to make up songs... ConsAlready got a thing going with Palace If we go up we might not play them again for a while Northampton ProsThe name! Who's the best Hampton - North or Sarf? ConsLocality Probably not big enough really West Ham ProsHammers might be glad of an upgrade on Orient, as other than that they can't really call the other London rivals their own They are pretty hateable at the moment ConsThe world would probably consider us the junior party in our rivalry They're probably a bit tasty when it comes to fisticuffs Portsmouth AFC 2012 Ltd Or whatever they might end up being called. ProsHistory with their likely fanbase ConsAin't going to play them for yeeeears Anyone got any other ideas? I purposely left off Bompey because I figure the snub will annoy them more than anything! EDIT: Bournemouth - as suggested by Turkish Edited 15 February, 2012 by Bearsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Charming Man Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Yeovil. We could properly lord it up over them. Would also help make me feel really good about myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Could get something going with Reading seeing as their rivals aren't much cop and the fan catchment areas overlap on the Hampshire/Berkshire border. Or with Bournemouth having a cash injection......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Bristol City - f**king hate them and the town. But they're not even close to displacing the skates. The blind will see and the lame will walk before they go out of existence. And I don't have a problem with being in different divisions and rarely playing them - that's what makes the derby so special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSFC Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 if there is no pompey we have no rivalry and we win. If pompey exist in any form they are our only rivals.

DS Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 How about Celtic? Pros: -Different colour kit. -Soon to be rival-less too. -They don't really like England; Southampton is in England.

pap Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Eastleigh - Snooty borough council who wouldn't let us build a stadium on their turf and insist on having (Eastleigh) in brackets at Southampton Airport - Nearby - Good transport links, so easy to goad whether it is a matchday or not. Cons - Town will soon cease to exist, and will simply be known as Southampton North. - Aren't they a feeder club? - Never play them outside of a friendly - Might annoy the ghost at the one-hand clock, depending on her allegiances.

And for more common these days, then when we were in the prem. Exactly, i met a bloke on holiday a few months back and knew he was a c*ck from the moment he said he supported Chelsea AND Norwich. He was a Norwich fan originally and when they got relegated decided he needed to support a premier league team so picked Chelsea, now Norwich are back up there he supports both.

buctootim Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Maybe we could have a vote choose our rivals for the season in July? We could work out who is fairly close and has a weaker team than us. That would make away days easy, plus we'd be more likely to win. Each year we could change rivals depending on whether we got promoted, or they turned out to be better than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsy Posted 15 February, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Each year we could change rivals depending on whether we got promoted, or they turned out to be better than us. I was thinking we could put it out to tender and potential rivals could bid against each other for the benefit of being our bête noire for the season. We could perhaps do a scheme where we give them a partial refund if they manage to beat us? It could be a real money spinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Blimey. I agree with Turkish on two things. First, brilliant idea about Bournemouth being our new rivals. I only really go there for Branksome Beach (technically almost Poole, I know) - and I have to say, laying around in the sun / eating ice-creams / swimming in the sea would be much enlivened by Turkish leaping out of a moving white van ready to "iron out" the locals ( at least, the ones who don't support Saints ). On a slightly more serious note, I completely agree about the second team stuff and would expand that to cover anyone who switches teams. Ms pap's old man likes to throw the occasional Saints related-jibe my way, pointing to Liverpool FC's tremendous success in relatively recent times. He seems to forget that I've been boinking his first-born for the last 18 years, so I happen to know he supported Everton in the 1970s, which I remind him of every time he starts up. Always amusing to see a former paratrooper taken down by a pint-sized geek with a bit of insider knowledge, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 I think we should officially invite all clubs within 50 miles of saints to partake in a raffle costing say. £100,000 a pop to see who the lucky winner would be in the draw... yes..?
