It's historical though. Leeds haven't played Manchester United for years in an actual league fixture, I'd say they're still definitely rivals.

But thats my point - Peterborough are not our rivals! When did we last play them?? Understand what you mean about singing anything though works for me - I'd just prefer it to be 'we only hate fcking Barnet!'
Do Peterborough see us as rivals? We last played them in March 2009 - ooops. Didn't realise it was as recent as that...!

I'm with Exe. 20th in lge 2. WHY are the morons singing about Boro? all they are doing is paying them a back handed compliment. Personally i feel *****boro is an in breed town full of eastern europeans. Anyway Oxford is nearer to Roade! Oh yeah what is it discuss!
Charlatan..who's the moron? No one was singing about Boro! Read the thread..'don't join in as most songs are (not 'didn't as most songs were')...Moron!

Yeah, I've pointed this out on a previous thread. The Peterborough chants are unfortunately tedious, irrelevant and honestly a bit sad. Oxford, Aldershot and Barnet are particularly repulsive teams albeit not geographically next door.
Not as f***ing sad as 'we're the west stand over here.' And then applauding the response from elsewhere. Sounds like a bunch of f***ing seven year olds

Pish are and always will be our rivals. The fact that they have played at a higher level than us for a few seasons is irrelevant.....just ask bp, nelson pk or marcmewordz.....we look up to the championship now as they once looked at the prem (old school div one)...knowing that one day our paths will cross again!

Whilst we're moaning about our own fans, I'd just like to say that anyone who chants "let him die" at an injured player is a prize c***.

Older supporters it is Boro' only,as proved with up to 3K fans going to the games. With a few more games played then MK will definately take over, especially with the 'child catcher' as owner!

The child catcher makes my skin crawl every time I see him on TV. There's something of the oily, hand-wringing Dickensian villain about him that turns my stomach. There's a resemblance to Gollum there too.

For anyone who started supporting the Cobblers in the 60's early 70's they will always hate boro, they are the enemy, in fact I cannot even get away from them up here in Cheshire. There is a boro fan who leaves around the corner from me, I have to pass is house weekly on the way to my mother in laws. I have often felt like digging up is front garden

Sorry if iv'e touched a paw Coolcat. My point was I'm peed off with morons singing anti boro songs when we're playing Plymouth! Do you really think Boro sing about us when they are playing West Ham! Don't wanna get Catty about this old chap!

.... and, of course, as the purpose of singing, etc, is to motivate the players, one has to ask how many of our team have such historical association with the club that they, too, hate 'boro'. My personal opinion is they will go to any club that pays their wages, so are only likely to hate clubs/managers who may have upset them in the past. So, maybe that would help Langmead? If not the players en-masse, who is motivated by singing about 'boro'? My guess is that it is the kind of mummies little soldier who is brave enough to ring a doorbell and run, post dog turds through a little old lady's letter box (ooh-err-missus), or anonymously ring up Mo's Bar and ask if they can check if they have "Mike Hunt" in the room.

No because as I have said they see Cambridge United as their rivals, but do they sing about Non league Cambridge when playing championship matches, yes.
