TMW Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Cradley are the team that everyone loves tgo hate in the NL. Poole holds that accolade in the EL although Leicester are giving them a run for their money. I've never known this in the PL. Why is this?Mod Note: Please refer to forum rules re topic titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think it's because there are more "bigger" clubs at PL level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Nobody ever knows, nowadays, who will top the PL each season... Poole are seen as manipulating the rules and Cradley as buying success by paying riders well over the rate set down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 There isn't a club that "buys" the league as Cradley and Poole do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threads when these meetings take place can get silly at times with a load of name calling . But what i have noticed is that a lot of PL supporters have a drink and a blether together, before during and after meetings , more than what goes on in either of the other two divisions . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythman666 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Paulco is dead right...we have the local spats which can descend into chaos. ...Edinburgh and Glasgow, Newcastle and Redcar and Berwick and er....Berwick! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Can't say that any PL side is universally disliked. We don't really have anyone close enough to Rye House to be classed as local rivals, but the team I enjoy beating most is Berwick for obvious reasons When I first started going in the mid 80's, meetings versus Hackney, Arena Essex & Mildenhall were always the grudge matches and although Wimbledon were a London side I didn't really get the feeling they were disliked when they came to Rye On 5/2/2014 at 4:18 PM, scribbler said: Cradley as buying success by paying riders well over the rate set down.Not to mention some of their more obnoxious supporters Edited May 2, 2014 by Shadders 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerite Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Agree that no PL team is universally disliked. Since the PL was formed Sheffield's main rivals were Hull until they closed down, plenty of banter on the terraces at those meetings especially in the Sean Wilson/Paul Thorp days. We then had a few disagreements with King's Lynn around 2006/7 and Jonny Chapman in particular. No rivalries like that anymore which is a shame.

HenryW Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Well, this has turned out to be a disappointing thread to read.... I expected Edinburgh to be declared the villains of the PL due to us having the BSPA boss manipulating everything in our favour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
