not really rivals, just an interesting local neighbour, was annoyed a few years ago regarding crowd incidents but not too bothered about them now.

Fair play to them for trying to promote the game as best they can. Though obviously the Manchester Derby tag is a bit questionable.

In my eyes our main rivals are:

M*cc & V*cs

Less so:

Witton, Runcorn (RIP), Southport

Even less so:

Hyde, Stalybridge.

Barely:

Droylsden.

Never played in a competitive game and have no rivalry with:

FC United.

Looks like decent marketing to attract some neutrals along

It's a good marketing technique to say the least, despite the fact a lot of our fans would class us as completely Cestrian.
