Who do you consider to be our biggest rivals?

1 club only,if possible.

Only one?

In terms of who our biggest competitors are I'd say

Blackburn/ West Brom/ Birmingham/ Wolves/ Sunderland/ 'Boro/ Leeds

All capable of promotion/ relegation relative to our position.

In terms of who we don't like?

I'd be here all day.

It's not Manchester United, despite what many Bolton fans believe.

That's what I want to hear

I can't stand those Wigan c*nts,for many reasons,but I guess B'burn could be bigger rivals?

We snigger when fans of Wiggin (despite them being in a higher division right now) or Trashmere etc. et all excited about how much they loathe us.

Stretford fans are the same with our bile toward them. I've hated them since I was 5 and never got that they had 'fans' from all over the place were so bloody arrogant and dismissive & many of those from Bolton, in the pre M61 days had to actually drive past Burnden to get to Salford.


Rrrrovers may well meet the needs, but they & Burnley look to each other with such biliousness they barely have time to look elsewhere ... & coming, as I did, from 'orwich I never really knew any Blackburn fans, so never had any really negative views.


I hate, loathe & despise everything Wolves based .... but can barely rationalise it. They are the same toward us, but their real focus is for West Brom.

Preston are just up the road, so could take the vacancy, but really, there's little negative feeling either way.

So, I suppose it's Bury really ... but can you be bothered ??

Tranmere Rovers. Set of wankers!

Scousers.

All of them.

Manchester United - despite what people say.

It depends on what you mean by rivals. If it's a team we're on a par with, who we have hopes of beating and gloating about it when we do - Wolves. I reckon.
If you just mean a force of evil hated by all right-thinking folk - ManUtd.

Its United. Anyone saying otherwise is secretly a yoonited fan. No fingers crossed or barleys or any shit like that. Thats it.

... agreed, but it's a one-way event for the most part.

In general we barely register to them.

I take a rivalry to be more a mutual matter.

They say that.. They really do try and make us believe it too.

But they don't like us and love to take the piss when we lose.

So to say it's one sided isn't strictly true.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. I know the insidious wankers get everywhere, but when you're living with the fackers day-in and day-out in Manchester, there was plenty of them willing us to go down, it's not rivalry in a "footballing" sense, it's just rivalry.

I was fecking delighted City scored them two goals in 90 minute plus time last day of the season. Only things that would have made it sweeter would have been them being against the red wankers and one being offside and the second being a really dubious penalty that didn't cross the line.

I dislike both Manchester teams,but City maybe even more (same reasons like most of the people).

Yeah this, I hope that assuming we can't, that Citeh win every fooking competition going, from now till kingdom come just to wind up the red shite!

I love the comment by Scum Director Louis Edwards in the newspaper clipping, "I know that no Manchester United fan would do such a thing.." So they were snivelling lying bastards 54 years ago.

I don't like them.

Or Bert Sproston (hit on the jaw by a brick) ''I'm not taking it seriously at all''

Different times & all that and a period when we will have had as many fans in parts of Salford as they did, but you'd have to wonder whath reaction there'd be if a victorious Stretford FC coach took a route through Farnworth & Little Lever.

But hey, when did rivalry have to be even handed ? Wankers, the lot of them.

Hatred does not necessarily make rivals. No one hates us more than the denizens of KUMB but they are not rivals. It should be Blackburn - Lancashire towns, founder members, similar histories, etc. but as has been said Rovers concentrate on Burnley. The Scum were in the 1950s but no longer alas, no matter how we may hate them. Our history with Wigan is not really long enough to build a rivalry. So I have no real answer - for me it is whoever we play next.
