I have none of the hatred that some have for other clubs. I like to be above Grimsby and indeed see them get beaten, but it well be money lost as far as the imps are concerned from yet another derby if they go down.Don't want to see a decently supported club go down myself because many of the clubs that get promotion from the BSP don't have good support.
Hate as far as footy is concerned is a wasted emotion,serves no purpose,it's not as though they are murderers or pedophiles,just encourages problems IMO.
I live and work with Cods,businesses and families,they are different only by the shirts having black stripes instead of red. Sure we like to poke fun at one another,it's just banter,same as on here,personal insults and goading are out of place.
Can remember when supporters mingled freely,now there is segregation it seems to encourage confrontation in some bizarre way,must be the caged effect.
You have it easy then with only friends as GY fans my Mum and Dad support them and quite a few relatives do as well.
You cannot get away from the personnal insults it's a common placed thing in society.
On someones facebook it was a common thing for the gimps fans to be refered to as inbred,that i hate and i hated it when imps fans called Boston fans it.
That to me sums up peoples mentality and is just in front of the who are you chant.
Your not telling me that a foofball fan travels 140 miles gets to his destination and does not know who they are playing.
