And poor old Yeovil.

No one hates them, but they have a mild dislike of ....

... Weymouth.

 

[CAFC Matt]

LOL We are officially the most loved club in the Country. No one has us as their rivals

 

[bhafc99]

Bless Southend – Canvey Island come second for them!

Spurs hating Yeovil a classic. Reckon someone was cutting and pasting as they worked through them, and forgot to change from Torquay to Tottenham.

I don't know anyone who hates Charlton. Against all odds, they have done well in the premiership with no money and have a manger who has stuck by them and loves the club.

 

[CAFC Matt]

Trouble is though it makes it very difficult to hate someone else

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Palarse rate Charlton as their "third rivals"

 

[Bad Ash]

Disappointed to see Palarse didn't make it as one of their nicknames!

 

[CAFC Matt]

third rivals lol. We never play em so ain't worth it. I mean we are no ones main rivals. Eeryone likes us

 

[chips and gravy]

There are some interesting ones. The Bristol clubs hate each other as you would expect but they have a mutual loathing of Cardiff and Swindon

 

[jonnyboylennon]

Why the f*** do Gillingham hate Swindon?

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Yeovil new song - "No-one hates us, no-one hates us, no-one hates us, we don't care, we are Yeovil, super Yeovil, we are Yeovil, from the farms" !

Geography though - Swindon is only 30 miles away from Bristol which is about the same as Cardiff. Bristol City is Cardiff's closest English rivals and they always come to Brisol and cause havoc (so my City mates say).

Why the f*** do Gillingham hate Swindon?

I think there is a reason but I can't remember what it is.

 

[Icy Gull]

Why the f*** do Gillingham hate Swindon?

Because they both want to be recognised as the shittiest southern town with a League football team?

Not suprising as i think it's too close to call.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I'm pleased to see that, years after Newport County dropped out of league football, Cardiff City can still raise some hatred of their neighbours.

 

[Safeway]

Just spoke to my Swindon contact and they reckon it's something to do with when they beat the pikeys in the play-offs in 1987. All kicked off and apparently a pensioner ran on the pitch with an umbrella and EVERYTHING.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

At the end of the day teams like Reading and Orient will be our rivals for a while but it will blow over.Portsmouth will always be a main rival so i think they must be a clear 2nd.I also think we hate Palace more than they hate us because they have Charlton and Millwall who also really hate them.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

In answer to someone's question, Wycombe and Colchester dislike each other because of Col U's brief spell in the Conference a few years ago. They were both in competition for the lone promotion spot.

Luton dislike Plymouth for the same reason, based on their promotion battle of 2 seasons ago.


And Bournemouth, well they're annoying but I can't say I consider them rivals like they seem to think we are. They are one of those crappy clubs that is desperate for someone to care about them enough to hate them. Like Southampton give a sh1t about Bournemouth, I bet only one Saints fan voted for them, out of pity probably.
