Make Up A Shit Rivalry For Championship 21/22

[Sheff de party]

If crowds are allowed back properly then expect some kick off with Lincoln

Two to be precise. Probably around 3pm on a Saturday.

I’ll get mi coat.

 

[Sheff de party]

It's entirely possible that we could be without Pigs, Toytown and the Dingles as local fixtures next season, and if Brighton/Palace and Norwich/Ipswich can be called derbies then anything can.
So let's develop an unreasonable dislike of another team, anyone will do.

I'll start:

Luton Town: The M1/A57/A1/A6/A505 Derby or The Martin Cranie Classic

It's time these bastards entered our radar. I fully expect banners to be made of Cranie's face with 'Judas' written on them, and effigies of him hung outside Cricks. Plus their ground's wank and we'll get a poor away allocation next season. Booooooooo, wankers, Eric Morecambe? I shit him.

Are we expecting Barnsley to go up like? They will be the derby next season, the teams above them are way more likely to get through the playoffs.

 

[JJBlade]

Yeah that's a good point, the Huddersfield fans were taking the piss for ages after as well, due to the Pigs usual arrogance and bluster beforehand.

Same happened with them and Brighton too if I remember rightly.

I like Huddersfield too, the parodies on their website about the deluded mob up the road after the play off semi final was classic reading.

I thought we'd got the pigs off to a tee, but we don't know them at all compared to Huddersfield fans

 

[BushBlade]

True, but singing derogatory remarks at opposition fans, most of whom were highly unlikely to be involved at the time is as absurd as Wednesday fans harping on about a game played before anyone under 40 was born.

If we played a German team, would we sing songs about the second world war?

Probably. Like “There were ten German bombers in the air” etc.

Yes of course we f***ing would ... I'll start you off, "There were 10 German bombers in the air ..."

Edit ... bugger Bush has beat me to it lol

[BladesOnToast]

Peterborough...the posh bastards!! hate em

Peterborough UNITED, almost certainly the only other Utd in the 2nd tier next season - so very much the United Derby. Expect a Sunday 12 noon kick off for that one

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Never liked Forest.

 

[bongleblade]

Chris Wilder vs Kev from the Star...

“Lincoln have got fantastic players in my opinion, that bloke with 1 cap for Gambia... Ronan from the Irish C squad... Timmy Two Fingers.. and you’re telling me we can go toe to toe with them, you must be having a laugh Kev”

 

[GymClassHero]

Stoke City, for stealing Beattie mk 1 off of us.

Despicable.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I developed something of a soft spot for them years ago when I used to go up every weekend to see an ex-girlfriend.

Almost went to watch them play at home once, then it dawned on me that I'd be rooting for a team in blue and white stripes and quickly disregarded the idea.

I used to go to Leeds Rd occasionally and always hope the opposition won.

I'll say one thing though, Leeds Road is one of those grounds that I would've loved to have been old enough to visit.

I started going to the football in 1997. By then, Leeds Road, Ayrsome Park, Roker Park, Burnden Park, The Baseball Ground had all gone, pretty much within a year of each other.

I was at the last ever match at Leeds Rd. Warnock was in charge of Huddersfield. They beat Blackpool to go in the playoffs.
Warnock addressed the crowd, of course Hudds were the greatest fans in the world.

And his team was "the best bunch of lads he's ever worked with".

Of course.

 

[N20 Blade]

Not for those that were there. There’s a big difference between losing a football match and losing your livelihood.

Despicable.

West Brom for loaning Beattie mk 2 to us

Contemptible.

 

[Auld Reekie Blade]

Blackburn Rovers

Lancashire, play in blue and white

What more do you want?

 

[DI36O]

Ah Blackburn, the old classic First Game I Ever Attended And We Lost And Had Two Men Sent Off And I'm Still Mildly Perturbed By It derby.

 

[GymClassHero]

West Brom for loaning Beattie mk 2 to us

Contemptible.

Arguably worse

 

[benn5712]

The "bombed arrh chippy" derby.

Sheffield wed.....oh you said championship.

It’s a funny one because the ones you list were all pretty shit but the soulless monstrosities that replaced them are somehow worse but for different reasons. Another reason we should never leave BL

NO !!!! Don't let them do that to us, there's a barge on the river next to the ground. Pub downstairs, Thai restaurant upstairs, Oakham Citra on draught, easy stroll to the ground. Last time I went there had 4 pints of Citra, a blinding dinner, and we got the last free parking space right outside the ground before a 1-0 win. THAT'S how to do football

This must be a 3pm Satdi kick-off or my dummy's out!

 

[Whiston Blade]

I think it's a Sheffield / Nottingham thing. Its the same with the Ice Hockey, but in that sport there's something of a Sheffield / Cardiff hatred too........

The Steelers/Panthers rivalry is nothing these days compared to what it once was back in the 90's. But the rivalry has very little to do with the Miners Strike and more to do with the fact Nottingham fans hated it that a brand new club (Panthers formed in 1946, Steelers 1991) jumped into the fray and won everything in sight while Nottingham were getting a pasting in the process.

The Steelers dominance of the 90's slowed down come the 2000's & things have evened out over the past 20 odd years.

Steelers: 9 League titles, 12 cup titles & 10 playoff wins
Panthers: 4 League titles, 14 cup titles, 6 playoff wins & 1 European title

They still get big gates for the games, especially the Boxing Day games, they're the best but the intensity just isn't there anymore.

I've always said United and Bramall Lane are interwoven. Moving anywhere else is unthinkable for me.

In terms of intensity I'd say Cardiff games are more intense these days.

Play off weekend is a great experience though

Weren't there a few run offs with their firm back in the good old days too? They were supposed to be quite handy weren't they?

Transit Elite. The Naughty IQ Forty. Proper cavemen.

 

[Sean Thornton]

I remember one occasion before the match sometime back in the 70s or 80s, I was in the Cricketers when, being upstairs with a couple of old school mates and their families, we saw a Scab out side (we were in the room upstairs by the window). He was shouting out a challenge but nobody took him up on it.

Next thing thing we know, as he's being totally ignored, is he marches into the pub, (I'm told this is what happened) and issues a challenge whilst also turning a glass upside down on the table in the old-fashioned way.

Again, no response.

He decides to walk out and it was then we heard the glasses smashing and he emerges beneath us absolutely covered in blood.

Handy, or barking?

I'm sure I heard he topped himself in later years.

Big lad, dark curly hair?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Forest are in our top three anyway.

And long before the strike for our younger readers.
