Hull was always our biggest derby back in the day ,the gods of relegation and promotion have kept us apart for 25 years but they was always the one for me.We was a bigger club than them back in the 80s and usually got better gates.They was always a rugby town and its only recently they have fancied themselves at football. I still hope that one day we'll meet them again in the same league with us having a new stadium packed to a 15000 capacity and us taking 4000 to there place.
Scunthorpe just hate us ,even if you meet a non football fan they hate Grimsby and anything to do with it ,they are a bit like the Scottish with a chip on their shoulders about us.The feeling was never the same and until we became a lower league club I never really had any feelings towards them.
Lincoln ive always had a bit of a soft spot for ,their fans and people are usually fair minded and the City itself is a nice place.
All the Yorkshire clubs was treated as derby games by us and we never took many less than at least 2000 and up to 7000 anywhere in Yorkshire.to be fair the likes of barnsley ,Hudds, sheff clubs leeds Bradford always brought good crowds to us too.
Ive never really known us take less than our alloction to any of our derby games ,even pre season its rare for us to take less than a 1000 to any of them .Hull ,Lincon and Scunny have rarely ever brought the same amount to us
spot on that

Lincoln is our biggest rival now 'cos we're in the same league- i dont hate them but clearly would like to see us stuff 'em over xmas.
Scunny and 'ull would be bigger rivals if we played them. Hull would be our biggest natural rival , north/south river divide yorkshire/Lincolnshire , fishing etc but the truth is in my lifetime of supporting the mariner s(about 36 seasons) i can only think of a handful when we've actually played them.
As i live in Scuntland these days i wish for the day when we can play(and beat ) them again. But historically i never had a beef with them as we were usually the team in a higher division.
For me Sheff Wed & Barnsley and too a degree Sheff U were the teams I saw as our biggest rivals.

Yes in the 80's. . . 84?
I remember a write up in the GET about disgusting Leeds fans urinating in the street and sleeping on the beach!
They should of been washed away

Scunts, ull, Wendy, sheep u, I think they are the main ones
Always disliked anything Newcastle! And the west brom and stoke rivalry that goes back to the 90's was always there.
There seems to be something happening with derby at the mo where they hate us!! Oh, I fooking can't Stand Leeds or man ure!

In reality personally I hate armchair plastic fans more than anyone who makes the effort to turn out and watch their team even a handful of times of year in the big games. People who call Liverpool or Chelsea "we" when they've never been to a game or even the city in question really gets my goat far more than anyone who watches their team play. A big night for these people is to go down the pub and watch their team with like minded saddos. If only they could just appreciate what it's like to go to a live game!
But if we have to hate anyone I would say it varies depending on who is in the same division as us. At the moment it's Lincoln. Hopefully Scunny will be soon! Hull being Yorkies in principle should be the most hated but it has been so long that we've played them, it's hard to summon up much hatred for them.
That really annoys me too. There's a plastic Manc who works at our place and on Monday morning he always going on about "we" this and "we" that and AFAIK he's never been to a single Man Utd game.

Contrary to what Lincoln fans would like to believe very few town fans actually seethed as rivals. Only in recent years have we really took any notice of them.
I hate scunny but actually detest hull, not just the team but the place.
Completely agree, their constant jibes of 'it's your cup final' do not fool me at all, it's quite obvious whenever we play them we come out on top most times so they use that as their excuse, bless them.
