Scunny for me, ever since I started in 1958!

Hated them then, still do now!

Hate the scunts

There's cheltenham supporters I work with, that despise town. I do find it somewhat strange though.

A couple of FGR fans I know say that the best atmosphere they ever had for a league conference game, was the 1-0 win we had in our last season n*n lea*#e

I'm 28 and don't remember a competitive game against Hull. I wish no ill on Lincoln but admit it is the closest thing to a derby we currently get.  I grew up watching the Sheffield clubs come to town and always enjoyed it when the massive Wednesday came to town.

Scunthorpe are big rivals but again, there have been very few meaningful games against them in the last 20 years.

Scunny for me........still can't believe they carry on punching way above their weight while we punch below ours  


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I'm 35 and after beating Hull in the League Cup in one of the first games I went to, I don't think we've played them in a competitive game. I think I like the idea of a rivalry with Hull more than the reality of it, since the reality of it doesn't exist!

Lincoln I see as more of a gentle rivalry.  It's quite a pleasant city and an innocuous footballing rival for most of my time as a fan, though probably has grown the last five to ten years.

Scunny for me still the main one.  They're a similar type of town to us:  gritty, bit down on its luck, similar size, maligned and with some decent football names associated with them, so I suppose it's them.  One of my first away games being the Paul Reece Boxing Day penalty save game is probable part of it.  That and the John Cockerill winner in front of the Pontoon.

Always Scunthorpe, end of.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Always Scunny for me,

I do remember when  town player's could not get in our team always ended up at Scunny or Boston,

Although there was a time that us and them along with Lincoln all played in what is now the championship at the same time,

Some good derby's with good crowds,

Ah !!!  those were the days.

In the 80's when I first started going regularly Lincoln were a bit like an annoying little brother to be honest.

In fact if we didn't have a team in Grimsby I would probably support Lincoln over The Scunts or Mudrats even though those 2 are closer.
