Trouble is if we can’t count Scunny 😂😂😂 then we can’t count Ull. (Which always has been top of my list). So in this league it’s
Donny
Bradford
Mansfield.

In that order.


No you can have Hull mate; League Two and above. Scunny of course are in the League below, and not doing very well by all accounts. There’s a very realistic prospect that there could be three divisions separating us next season; something which I don’t think has happened since 1948 when we were in the top flight and Scunny in the Midland League.

I’m a longtime supporter so think the points about who is the local rival is dependent on when someone becomes a fan.

For me based on my age, the list is

Hull
Lincoln
Scunthorpe
Notts Forest

If I had become a fan today it would be

Lincoln
Doncaster
Bradford
Hull
Leeds

Interesting?

Ah. Cheers for clearing that up. I thought it had to be this league.

In that case it’s
Ull
Donnyl
Gimps

I’d love to mention the likes of Barnsley, Wendy’s etc. But although it was always lively home and away, I don’t think they ever classed us as rivals.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

The Yorkshire clubs in the 90s and noughties were the best rivals, Barnsley, Wednesday, Huddersfield and Bradford. Forget this daft scunny thing

Nah, they play across the river from some non-league team I think.

If things continue as they are and Swann continues with his head buried in the sand, they might be even lower than National League North or worse, extinct.
