CB Fry Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 Quite annoying that Bompey have sneaked in as our third rivals. Would have been great if there was no acknowledgement of them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_disco123 Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 how on earth are pompey the 20th most offensive club? they should be much higher! Apart from that Looks about right, but some very odd ones there. for example QPRs 3rd rivals are Cardiff city/Stoke fc? I would of thought Arsenal or another big london team would be the 3rd choice.

There was an incident at a hotel involving a fire alarm being set off and waking players prior to a QPR v Cardiff playoff final which might explain that one.

To be fair the more people that use that fuc.king ridiculous "Bompey" term the more people will think it is. They're Bournemouth or the Cherries, and have been as long as i can remember.

Yeovil Saint Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 I get why Bompey dislike Saints, we're the overshadowing local neighbours, but what have Brighton done to them to be second biggest rivals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're Bournemouth or the Cherries, and have been as long as i can remember. I quite like Bournemouth, always nice to see them doing well. Plus it has always been somewhere where we can send our youngsters. (McGoldrick, Surman, Lallana, Barnard) and I'm sure there has been plenty more!

Big_Bald_Si Posted 6 September, 2012 Author Share Posted 6 September, 2012 I get why Bompey dislike Saints, we're the overshadowing local neighbours, but what have Brighton done to them to be second biggest rivals? It's not a huge survey (1,200 fans?), expect it'll be based largely on the past couple of years in Championship/League one, when Poyet decided to mouth off about us almost every week.

pingwing Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 Watford's biggest rival is Leeds? Yeah right. Non-League clubs are not included in the survey (says at the top) so there's one or two odd ones like that with Luton stuck in the conference till they sort it out.... Glad MK Dons are still considered one of the most offensive clubs in the country, really not a fan of them kicking about my home town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyer Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 There was an incident at a hotel involving a fire alarm being set off and waking players prior to a QPR v Cardiff playoff final which might explain that one. Set off by Sam Hammans bodyguard as well. Also we were competing for years in L1 and then the NPC for promotion so every game was a 6 pointer. Theres quite a bit of trouble between Stoke and QPR including one of their fans getting onto the pitch and attacking our goalie but then the FA charged QPR because one of our players hit him. A few incidents like that and the rivalry heats up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horley CTFC Saint Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 But why are Crawley rated as 14th most offensive? presumably the cash rich sugar daddy - or have I missed something? So many reasons: 1. The Majeed brothers 2. Steve Evans 3. Lack of transparency about where the money has come from These are the main three - people have long memories seemingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 More Hereford now.. anyway the point is the article is wrong I lived in Cheltenham for eight years and it was Gloucester, even when the Robins were well established in the league. And then Swindon which is top of the rankings on this survey and sounds about right. Hereford? Never known anyone in Cheltenham that would class HUFC as their main rival. So this Hereford thing must have happened quite recently if true. You sure you live in Cheltenham, Dune? You never used to. Is it part of the new persona?

Joe Kirkup Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 Maidenhead United hate Slough Town - or at least did in my yoof when Nick Hornby was going to Magpies games.. When I was a nipper I would go to watch the Rebels if not watching Saints and Wycombe were always rivals - hardly ever played Maidenhead. Windsor in cup games was always fun.

There is no statistical validity to the survey whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
