Funny story. When I was 17, some mates said what are we doing Sunday? Someone suggesed a rugby game. So we looked at who was at home and the closest and it was Rovers, the rest is history. If it had been FC at home........

Do I hate them? no. Do I detest them? no. Do I hope they lose every game and lose their franchise next time round? Hell yes

What is the point in either team losing their franchise bid? There would be no more derbys, yeah that's fun...

that and the holding back 10% of the unreserved seats thing.

Will still never understand though how we can't have 24,000 for it, when City have that against all Prem opponents!

Like I said on your forum mate, I reckon it's City wanting to keep the club attendence record for themselves!

Dunno, only reason I can think of is that more of the seats are reserved for the football, and I'm only basing that on the fact that I noticed the sign above block 21 which used to be the reserved/unreserved split was painted over last time I was there.

Ah right, maybe so. Just meant that in theory you'd think a lot more segregation would be needed for games such as City v West Ham and City v Chelsea compared to the derby.
