The Rams Rivals

I recall the bricks MA, the cops were about as much use as the proverbial chocolate fireguard! My golf umbrella came in handy both in the defensive and offensive mode (to use modern football parlance)!!
The joys of following your team!!

What's all the fuss about Sheffield Wednesday? Sheffield is a big city therefore there's more fans to watch the local club. That's all. they have potential just as any club has potential whether its Man Utd or Rochdale. What's a big club anyway? The best indicator of a big club is history, success, etc. Sheffield Wednesday haven't won anything for 40 years and even then it was the FA Cup's little brother. Big club my eye.

I think we’ve done this, Gunt. It’s a combination of history, current achievement and potential. Like us Wednesday have little in terms of current/recent achievement...but in terms of history and potential they have plenty so that, even at League 1 level, a side that looks capable of success will be attracting top twenty/low thirty thousand crowds...something that, with respect, Barnsley or Rochdale will never do.

Just to repeat, ram, i.e. larger city equals larger number of fans. It's also worth noting that geographically, SW only have SU as their rivals. In contrast, Barnsley have Leeds, SW, SU, Huddersfield, Bradford City, less than 30 minutes drive away.
No contest.
