Please don't say Hull, West Brom or Stoke as you havn't played them since the last Century?
I consider our (Humber and Lincolnshire) rivals to be Hull, Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Gainsborough & Boston Rivalries exist only through location or achievement
And as much as it pains me to say it Hurst was the man that would have taken us to another level in my opinion, you only have to look at what he achieved at Shrewsbury. We should have fought tooth and nail to keep him but the present regimes penny-pinching did away with that one.
Not sure it was helped by how disliked he was from some sections of our fanbase. Many had fair enough reasons: he often didn't endear himself to supporters. But others did come across as entitled ("we are grimsby we shouldn't be drawing against [insert team here], we used to be in the championship, our natural home is at least league 1, never mind the last 5 years that's irrelevant we should be top of this division through historic precedent!")
The flyover after the first semi final leg was one of the most embarrassing moments of being a town fan. Obvs we went on to get promoted... sheer pig-headedness.
All the best to them... however couldn't give a toss currently. Only focused on league 2

What on Earth?!!! You’re on your own with those last two. Never heard such guff.
No. Gainsborough are not our rivals just because we've played pre season friendlies against them and they are from the same region. By that score our bìggest rivals are cleethorpes town then as they play in the same town - but u missed them out altogether funnily enough.

I've just noticed the error in my OP... hence the big fat X's
'rivals' was the wrong word to use. I worded it wrong
