i used to be sc_owl Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I would say our second biggest rival depends on who we are most closely matched to at the time. For the past few years it's probably been the dingles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedee Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Man city in the 80's early 90's. Chelsea in the same era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkfieldowl14 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Chelsea in the same era And to think we used to be on a even keel with these clubs in the 1980's and Early 1990's but not any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'd say Barnsley, they hate us with a passion, and they are only 6 miles up the road. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG_1984 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Has to be Leeds, for many many reasons including being the other big club in Yorkshire. Then I'd say any team from the wrong side of the pennines, particularly those in the same league (once ManUre now Rochdale ) I'd also say Arsenal for the 1993 heartbreak and plenty of reasons since. Forest and maybe Derby for close proximity (and scab factor of course). I don't hold any hatred what-so-ever for Barnsley, Donny, Rovrum, Chezzy, Scunny etc all a minor irritation when doing better than us but still insignificant.

m77owl Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Interesting. There are two teams in Birmingham. One of them isn't even worth mentioning as a rival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Interesting. There are two teams in Birmingham. One of them isn't even worth mentioning as a rival? That because we're cool with each other on whole because we are both rivals of Villa. As I said for most older baggies the Villa is the rivalry. In fact I'd be gutted if the blues don't get anything at the dingles this weekend Edited April 27, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotherGoose Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 You have one derby - if it's not fully reciprocal then it doesn't count. I like to beat all these local sides, if only to shut them up for 6 months. But I'm only nervous about the Sheff Utd game. It might be different for West Brom, but Sheffield only has one derby. The rest are all one way. Sad for those teams not having a proper rival but it ain't us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Villa rivalry goes back Pre-WWII as is one of the theories of how we got the "Baggies" nickname. Our fan would go to games games wearing there protective leather trousers from the metal works and the villa would shout "Here come the Baggies" as taunts when they saw us coming. Wolves are a post war rivalry. But, the needle is still there between the Teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
