Strange Rivalries

[davee59]

As gaz explained on another thread, Swindon have a fierce rivalry with Gillingham. I can remember meeting a Bolton fan at a World Cup and he mentioned that they did not like Wolves. I cannot remember if he said it was to do with being called Wanderers or not but a slightly unexpected rivalry.

What other unusual rivalries does anyone know of?

Pal@rse and Brighton puzzles me. It makes me think of Brighton as a bit of a Gillingham pikey bunch who latch onto anything and anyone to create a bit of something to big note their sad selves

I'll go again -
Bastids and Clarets??? What's that all about? These two clubs are so close together they might as well merge into one.

Hi gaz,

West Ham v Millwall used to be called Thames Ironworks and Millwall Athletic.
The rivalry comes from the dockers working at the docks each side of the Thames.
