Despise them from down the a23, was the mullery incident of throwing the coins on ground saying that’s all we’re worth that proper started it, though the constant playing each other, promoted together, relegated together, many cup replays
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 during the 70s & 80s, was a permanent thing, we went up, they went up same season, we went down, they went down same season, would draw each other in the cup & land up with 2 or 3 replays, so was playing each other a minimum of 4 times a season & then we left them behind & unfortunately they have now overtaken us on a temporary basis
A bit like the Tyne-Wear derby, the South Coast derby is originally a rivalry not between football clubs but the two towns/cities. Or more precisely, between the two harbours/docks. It goes back a few centuries.
A few derbies up here you touched on Grimsby v Scunthorpe but Grimsby v Lincoln is just as intense, none league as a Worksop fan, which I hope to get you up to see us one day, Worksop v Alfreton is a big game for us when it happens, the hatred stems back from the 1960’s in the old Midland league days and the now defunct Retford Town, more modern rivalry is with Gainsborough Trinity, Believe it or not there is a Worksop derby Worksop Town v SJR Worksop, we played them 18 months ago in the first ever meeting in the Sheffield Cup at Sandy Lane and the gate was over 2,500 , Also a mention is the Retford derby Retford United v Retford FC , both are in the same league, last season was in the NCEL Division 1 both games had gates of over 1,500 and this season after both teams were moved sideways it will be in the United Counties Division 1 , both grounds worth a visit
They can’t really play us v brightscum at 3.00, cos of the amount of trouble & fights we have, Millwall aint really a rivalry, it’s just a case of our boundaries overlapping & so is mainly about who has the more fans, we don’t treat them or the clowns (Charlton) as rivals, but they both do look at us as rivals, it’s just brightscum for us
Gills v Chatham, not really a rivalry, never play each other competetively, many fans watch both clubs. I don’t think Millwall see the Gills as a rival 👍🏻⚽️
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 On 24th August 1974 (50 years ago this Saturday) a 17 year old Blackpool fan named Kevin Olsson was stabbed to death at Bloomfield by a Bolton fan when he went for a drink at half time. Bolton fans have goaded the Blackpool fans frequently over the years with it.
