Local Rivals

Recommended Posts

We don't really have local rivals, but absolutely every team in North Ayrshire hates losing to us. They pretend they love coming to Largs for a day out and "banter" but if they lose they come on here greeting about "long ball" nonsense or send me a PM about how "arrogant" we are.

Kilbirnie must be your biggest rivals? And Largs along with beith their biggest rivals?

My own team always kilsyth as nearest but also petershill who are also close by and Clydebank a fellow dunbartonshire team also teams like to get one up on that bit more than anyone else.

Armadale Vs Bathgate , Armadale Vs Whitburn are always hard fought affairs, these games dont happen as often as they used to though, what with the 'Dale' being in the Super League and ...well no going into all that, but in saying that when we do meet you often hear the Bathgate an Whiburn fans saying they like playing the 'big' teams once in a while. Seemingly Bathgate are saying they could bring as many as 6 supporters to the challenge match this week :)

One of our gang claims that Arthurlie v Pollok at the end of last season, with both in danger of relegation, drew a bigger crowd than the Hurlford Scottish Cup semi final played thye same day. Is there any truth in that. If so it just goes to show how much the Cup has deteriorated.

Show your working please.

IF(key word) there is any truth in it, it's a local derby between two teams with big catchment areas in a relegation decider vs a wee village with no support playing the most poorly supported "big team" in the country. It's always going to be close

Well don't keep us in suspense!

What was the crowd at the Glasgow village derby match then?

And love it or loath it being in a relegation battle at any level always brings out the crowds ( not that being in a relegation dog fight is anything to boast about).
