Andy Horsman Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Never seen as many threads as this prior to a game with C*rdiff Red Socks. Fairly conclusive proof that for most of us this IS the big one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Of course they are our biggest rivals. We live amongst their fans. (well, most of us do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Never seen as many threads as this prior to a game with C*rdiff Red Socks. Fairly conclusive proof that for most of us this IS the big one!! Some of us have never denied it. Guess it must be younger fans who peddle this Cardiff rubbish, they haven't been through what us older fans have with the gas and just don't seem to get it. I just hope SO'D and the players do..... COME ON CITY, STUFF THE GAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It never has been Cardiff and it never will be Cardiff. Unless it was nothing more than attempt to irritate our friends north of the river, I never understood the whole 'Cardiff are our real rivals' at all. Imagine how dismal last season would have been if it had been Rovers instead of Cardiff winning the league we finished rock bottom in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Must be me in the minority then. I am old enough to remember derby's from the mid to late 90's but Rovers haven't competed with us for so long that I geniunely forgot about them. I don't know their squad, I don't know their coaching staff (JW aside of course), I don't know where they are in the league except when I remember to pay attention when League 2 comes up and I don't know their transfer business (couldn't name one signing they made over the summer). I really don't mean to be patronising but for most of the past decade Rovers have been like an annoying little kid - don't pay too much attention to, but I know I don't like him. However, playing Cardiff twice a year they went from being that annoying kid to the ones I really wanted to beat. Maybe the rivalry balance is about to change given our fall from the Championship. But I'm still adjusting to them being the main rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then when we lost to them in the LDV I remembered just how much I hate losing to them. These guys are definitely our real rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screech Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Was always Cardiff for me. Well until they became something else. This is always a poor second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
