Re: Rank the Rivals
 
[QUOTE=SPROUT;2260651]The only real rivals are Chester.The rest are just local games.Most Wrexham fans I know don't really give a damn about Shrewsbury,except for the shropshire border fans.[/QUOTE]

... And they are a bit weird down that way.

Re: Rank the Rivals
 
[QUOTE=northwalian dragon;2260591]Given that its Newport v Tranmere for a place in League 2 today its sparked a debate about who Wrexham fans would prefer to go up

For me I'd much prefer Tranmere to go up. I just don't consider the rivaly to be that intense, don't know why. I guess it depends when you were born and when you started supporting the town

So how would everyone rank our rivals?

I'd say

1.) Chester
2.) Shrewsbury
3.) Port Vale
4.) Stockport
5.) Newport

Tranmere, Crewe, Cardiff, Swansea, Wallsall - any other mentions?[/QUOTE]

You got your preference today, can’t say I’m sorry about Newport losing to a late goal, what goes around comes around.

For me Chester always number one rivals, having supported Wrexham in the 60s and 70s then Port Vale would be up there for me. Some really bad tempered matches with them and damage from their fans

[QUOTE=Back of the Kop;2260606]When we are talking about local rivalry the top 2 have always been and always will be :

1. Chester
2. Shrewsbury

You can then start to argue Tranmere, Crewe etc......but for me that's it[/QUOTE]

This is true

Re: Rank the Rivals
 
For me it is:

Bin dippers - hate the games especially recently.
Cardiff - era related and many games especially old welsh cup.
Slops - used to be a good away day.
Crewe, Vale, Stockport and other locals not so much a rivalry just a better type of game.

Now we have all sorts of localish teams and we struggle against them.
Telford, Alty, Macc, Southport.......at times embarrasing.

Erm, Port Vale has to be in the top 3-5.
