Redminster Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Reason I ask is that I met a friend of a friend tonight in a pub in Bristol who was pretty aggressive in his dislike for us. These days I can think of 5 clubs who I give two hoots about above Argyle. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Seems to be a lot of disliking of us from sides we don't care about. I can think of Swindon & Bristol Rovers to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I remember Plymouth just getting auto promotion over us,then being competitive in the championship with us, maybe rivalry comes from then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jordan Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Well I didn't have any feelings towards Swindon until last season. All it takes is a lap of honour, a deluded fanbase full of bitterness and I'm all for initiating a new rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is there is clearly other clubs that put us in their top 3 who we couldn't give a monkeys about in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Never had a problem with Plymouth, or Exeter and Torquay for that matter, it has to be Rovers, Cardiff and Swindon, oh and Sneyd Park AFC, really dislike them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 For the Swindon game was always the fixture I looked out for when they were in the same division. I must have been to the County Ground more times than any other away ground. Way back in the 70s it was always a feisty match both on and off the pitch. I've seen more trouble between City and Swindon fans than any other rivalry. In Swindon the police used to join in and there'd be a three way battle in the Town End. Cardiff and Ninian Park comes close on that score. Always aggro between them and us going back decades. NP was the most dirty, run down, hostile and aggressive ground I've been in. I used to love going over there. Ive been to Home Park many times over the decades and can't remember any problems between them and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I still don't like them from back in 2003-2004 and the old rivals.net forum. We were head to head for promotion all season... we beat them at the gate 1-0 towards the end which was sweet but in the end they pipped us and we bottled it. Their gloating was brutal and constant for the next few years until we finally managed to claw our way up. I've never known such a ridiculous fanbase/rivalry. Before 2003 they were as quiet as mice and I barely acknowledged their existence, then suddenly they all appeared out of the woodwork claiming to hate us passionately. Then after 2010, they all dissapeared back to where they came from and we haven't heard a peep out of them since. Utter joke. At least Rovers still show their faces despite being inferior for the last 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Battle of the Bridges in it.... We've got Brunel's elegant World famous BRISTOL Suspension Bridge and its wholly Bristol's... not to mention the gorgeous Gorge. Plymouth have the Tamar Bridge, not named after the city doesn't even belong to them its a share bridge jointly owned 50/50 by two neighbouring county councils... They envy us our bridge - green eyed monster jealousy - simples innit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1ackbird Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 After the Watford cup away game, we went into the pub across the road where a guy struck up a conversation about Plymouth, we did explain to him that Brentford is closer to City than Argyle, that took the wind out of his sails a tad....

GrahamC Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 It's geography. To us they are a long way away and particularly as they dropped down the leagues we give them very little thought. To them we are seen as near, seeing as nearly everyone else is much further away. I know an Argyle fan (ST holder who lives in Radstock) and he doesn't like us, saying Ashton Gate is a horrible place to visit. They are in my opinion the only other club with any real potential in the SW though, and if they got back to The Championship would regularly get at least 11,000- 12,000.
