Da Real Rover has asked for a poll on who Bit O'Red fans think our biggest rivals are.............so here goes..............no baiting of opposition.....just comments and your votes please !

Historically Shams have been our biggest rivals but since we got relegated it’s been Harps and now that they’re promoted we don’t really have any. But I’d still consider Shams as out biggest rivals

I gotta say that the team i would like to see get bet by us the most, would have to be Harps.

Why is the poll closed? :confused:

I would imagine that the split between Shams and Harps probably depends on age.
For example, I'm 27 and I voted Shams as the scum but I left Sligo for London aged 10 (1988) so for me and my family Shams are (and always will be ) Rovers biggest rivals.
My Dad, Uncles and cousins could never ever consider Harps to be on the same level as us - we were raised on a different diet of football and rivalry. There's only ever going to be one club in Ireland that i hate and nigh on 20 years of homelessness is not going to dilute it because it was handed down to me from about 3 generations.

However, clearly times have changed so the new generation of SRFC fans may well hold Harps as Public Enemy No.1

I NEVER COULD.

I'm 18, and I despise Shams.

I just put an end date on the poll when I set it up - these polls tend to have a short enough useful life -

Being from Mayo, the team I most like to see getting beaten by Rovers would have to be Galway United!
