A rival to what? Can't be Stoke seen as its one of the 6 towns that makes up the city.
What's your part of town?
Yeah, the thread is rival towns.
My part is Stoke itself, I've lived no more than 100 yards from the Victoria Ground for all my life.

Except for the last 10 years, since it no longer exists.
I went to the last ever Stoke-Vale derby at the Vic, still got my ticket somewhere. And the last ever match there, vs the baggies. *sniff*
Burslem and Stoke. Keep up.

Burgess Hill (my town)/ Haywards Heath. Four or so miles apart, both of a similar size.
Most of the people from HH have beef against Burgess Hill and the people here, and really look down their noses at us. They think we're 'common' because the house prices are about 10% lower, but in truth we live in pretty much the same cack town but with cheaper housing.
They have the about same amount of social scum as we do. The only thing going for the place over Burgess Hill is it is near to a couple of very expensive/'exclusive' villages, from which the middle/upper classes try to glean quite a lot of 'pomp' and 'prestige'.
Nobody really cares what they think, so long as they're happy.

Change that to nothing at all
Well it wouldn't make a difference if it wasGood job Barnsley isn't a city then
I was born in Manchester and don't understand this rivalry. Could someone please explain for me?
True, apart from Burslem I, and many others, dislike Hanley too. Mainly because this place is gradually turning into Hanley-on-Trent rather than Stoke.
Every Australian state capital vs every other Australian state capital. (Interstate rivalry is pretty big Down Under, regardless of geographical distance).
The biggest one is Sydney vs Melbourne. That's a grudge match generations old.
