Rivalry if you come up..

[Bowers-sfc]

Good evening from a 'Stains' fan

So, if you do manage to come up this season ( fingers crossed )
Do you consider us and you to be rivals? After our south cost not a derby yesterday, me and a few friends had the discussion about us having more of a rivalry with you.
To some extent, I agree.
It was a bit of fun in league1 and the championship, always seemed to be a bit more to it then any other game.

Anyway, good luck for the remaineder of the season.
Hopefully see you next season ( we have to stay up as well yet )

Couldn't care less about you. Palace are our only rivals.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

No

We only have one rival

Good luck in getting rid of your reindeer stains!

Are you mad? Crystal Palace are our rivals. I don't feel an animosity towards Southampton, more a camaraderie about being from or representing the south coast. We didn't like Adkins though, for sure

 

[chucky1973]

It's always a good game against the stains. I wood look forward to it.

 

[Starstel]

No.

Been lurking on the board for years, but not posted often. I live in Southampton and know a number of die-hard saints fans. They dont even consider Bournemouth a rival, let alone Brighton. I can't see why we would consider saints a rival either.

Should be a good game though, it's been a good natured game (apart from when Adkins tried to stir things up)

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Saints will never be our rivals although I think it was fun when you had Adkins as manager. I would like to think thought, that Southampton are the club we would most like to emulate being that our catchment area and locations are not dissimilar.

 

[dangull]

To be fair, after Palace it could be a good south coast rivalry. Doubt Pompey will be in the premier league anytime soon.

 

[*Gullsworth*]

No

We only have one rival

and another club deserves a mention because of the number of fans who detest this certain club. But then the OP will have the same feelings about them. Saints really don't bother most of us.

Palarse aren't real rivals at all in my book, it was all manufactured back in the 1970's. Surely our real rivals, geographically speaking, have to be Pompey. It's been a good many years since our paths have crossed though.

 

[Bowers-sfc]

I wouldent consider you a rival as such.

What I meant was we would say we have more of a 'rivalry' with you, than we do Bournemouth.
Purely because of league 1 and the famous Adkins comments. I don't hate Brighton, but there's always a good atmosphere when we play each other.

I spend way too much time on this forum to hate you lot

 

[VAL1850]

OP is missing Pompey

Oh dear, are you missing Portsmouth? We don't care about you*. If you want a rival, hope for Reading to go up. They are desperate for someone to make them feel like a proper football team.

* - Although we still haven't forgiven you or Tottenham.

More interesting than your own is it? lol

 

[portlock seagull]

I am utterly indifferent to Southampton. Trying to get a rivalry going with them would be like doing so with, say, Ipswich. Completely pointless. Sorry, but Palace beat you to it by approximately half a century. Still, nice ground and look forward to visiting some day.

To be quite honest, yes. Though, there is a thread on the twats over there that you'd like.
Over 2000 pages. Covering all admins, take overs, fake owners etc.

No way you're going down btw. You would have to find yourselves playing a lot worse than Boro, Sunderland, et al. That's not happening.

Not really, but I am worried about Sky manufacturing some imaginary South coast derby with you or Bompey for the sake of television, or other tedious people using the term the "m23 derby".
