I don't with it as a term that's suitable for a regional rivalry, as the accident of being a team based nearby is no basis for hate - to hate something, you need to identify something intrinsically detestable about them. The local rivalry thing is just territorialism, pure and simple. I don't hate Bradford City, or any of the other lesser Yorkshire clubs - but there's lots to hate about Man Utd, so it's easy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094512315143823673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431729510230385361.post-76436359683957461192013-01-28T15:40:39.359+00:002013-01-28T15:40:39.359+00:00I agree with this, but there were still a few anti...I agree with this, but there were still a few anti-scouse songs at Elland Road in days of yore.

But then again, a good proportion of those fans that chant 'scabs' at the Forest fans weren't either. It may be through ignorance that you don't know that as many, if not more Notts Miners, were on strike as there were those that chose to cross picket lines. The Miners Strike caused rifts in communities & families that exist to this day. There are brothers in Nottinghamshire that havent spoken for over 30 years because of this. The cost of the Miners Strike is felt more in North Notts than anywhere else in the country - so take a few steps down from your moral high ground.<br />Does Yorkshire's hatred extend to your hating your very own Barnsley fans?

As a Forest fan, the first fixtures I look for at the beginning of a season are our games v them sheep botheres down the A5-2 (Derby County - in case you were wondering who I meant). Presuming our nice little neighbours Notts County aren't in the same league (they rarely are), the next fixture I look for is Leeds. These games are ones where we can guarantee a big crowd, a great atmosphere & plenty of banter between fans. <br />As much as we hate both Derby & Leeds, in this age of clubs potentially going bust due to chasing the Premiership dream, we don't hate them that much that we would rather them not exist.

After all the game itself is a contest, a battle of supremacy between two sides that believe they are a match for each other. As a die hard liverpool fan, every opponent is the enemy that needs to be crushed over the 90 minutes duration of the match. And everybody {fans} that identifies with the enemy, also becomes an enemy by default.

Your massive support is envied and admired throughout the footballing world. <br />And to continue the theme of "fan hatred" you speak of, you may want to ask yourself why so many fans from West and South Yorkshire hate sections of your support so much. Not because they are "dickheads" or "filth" - no, it's much more serious than that, isn't it. If you can't remember, ask someone what happened between March '84 and March '85, or try Googling it. You'll find those sorry excuses for human beings from your county were much lower than dickheads or filth.
