Is the game tomorrow against your biggest rivals?
Do you view Bury as your main derby and the main team you love to hate?
I seem to remember Dale scarves with 'we hate Burnley' on them or did I just imagine that?
Looking forward to your answers and a cracking game tomorrow. |  | | |  |

1) Nearest rivals, full stop
2) Main derby through sheer proximity and number of times we play you, but that could change
3) The scarves said "We ate Burnies" *

I suppose it all boils down to who you least like to lose to? - and for me this probably is bury.
Allthough seeing bury lose on the results is not as satisfying as seeing say Stockport, Notts County or Rotherham lose for some reason. |  |

I think it depends on your age, the older fans are more likely to say Burnley, but we haven't played them much in the past 20 years so you could argue that the rivalry has dropped off.
If you ask younger fans it will definently be bury just because of the distance and banter etc and the fact we have been around the same level for 10 years or so. |  | | |

I for one would class Oldham as our biggest rival and Bury as our 2nd biggest rival
When i first started following Dale it was Burnley and Halifax |  |
| Up the Dale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Bury are probably our biggest rival at the moment. Due to the proximity, banter and amount of times we've played one another. I think Accy would be a bigger rivalry if they brought more support to the games.
On the scarf I have an old green scarf that says 'Better than Burnley' on it, maybe it's that one? | |

So I hadn't imagined the Burnley scarves!
Accrington as big rivals? It's a bad day if you class them as rivals, they brought 150 to Gigg a few weeks ago which is truly abysmal.
As a Shaker I'm sorry but it will always be Bolton I truly hate however most of our fans 25 and under would go for your lot. That said I enjoy our rivalry and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I just hope the numpty element on both sides isn't out in full force. | | | |

From a personal POV it's Oldham Athletic. I live in Shaw, work in Royton and have far too many BIFFO's telling me how much of a bigger club they are than us on a daily basis.
Bury are a close second for me because I'm a tad young to remember all the Burnley rivalry. |  |

I know quite a few dale fans in Littleborough still carry on the rivalry of Burnley as there a good few Burnley fans in the Borough
I agree with Chaff i have a real hatred of all things Oldham and i get great pleasure out of them getting beat.
I find our rivalry with Bury to be more of a jovial rivalry filled with banter and pisstaking | |

I knew there were obviously no Prem games but if we are the only fixture in Lancs what kind of attendance do you think we can expect? I expect us to bring 2200 ish. | | | |

When I started going to Dale in the late 80s, Burnley were definitely the main rivals. However, they disappeared upwards and then Bury seemed to take their place with Mark Carter and co! |  |

I definitely see you as our main rivals. Like others have said though, it's a jovial rivalry and there's definitely no hatred there. You're the only consistent rivalry I've seen in my Daley-life. As for who I hate losing to most, definitely Notts Cvnty. |  | | |

Wouldn't go that far Shun, I still hate Bury with a passion and everything to do with them, just hate Oldham more. Hate Manchester City more than any other club on Earth though. | |

I don't get the hatred. . Not into the hoolie yoof bollocks. Just a piss take really isn't it?
I'd imagine Wanderers are like our Burnley? The Bolton fans i've met don't consider you as rivals any more. More so Blackburn.
I'm a bit too young to 'get' Burnley so for me it's Bury, Stockport, Oldham. Up there is Notts Kunty though - and any team Lee Hughes turns up at.
Really looking forward to this game, let's hope it's a gooden. |  |

I grew up loving our games at The Shay and always saw Halifax as our main rival, but I suppose Bury would have to take that title now.
I love to hate Stockport though. |  |
