| What team do you dislike the most 12:49 - Feb 17 with 1702 views | kingslandstand1 |
In the Championship, other than the obvious blue few
For me it's Wrexham and I'd love it if they didn't get to the play offs to bring them down a peg ot two
For me they are the Man City / Newcastle of the lower leagues where all of a sudden they get this massive dosh input and media love in with the Hollywood owners who have pumped their money in.
Not sure if it's jealousy or envy (?), but probably it's their fans who believe they should therefore get that promotion by right
And to pi55 on my own chips they have brought in a decent young manager and clearly recruited well, but just don't like them! |  |

Apart from the blue few I agree, Wrexham. If they make the play-offs whoever they come up against are likely to be playing against the team and the ref as well. The PL bods and the broadcast partners will be desperate to get the Hollywood Taffs over the line and into the PL simply for the massive marketing opportunities it opens up in America. Further ‘Disneyfication’ of the PL would undoubtedly follow as the ‘fairytale’ was sold (for the appropriate subscription fees) to the American public and no doubt many more people besides. |  | | |

I agree with you both, I don't see Wreham as a fairytale story, but the tale of a couple of Americans who wanted a plaything who they could manipulate so they could make big bucks out of.
They were a small team for years and with due respect Wrexham is a small place with a population of around 45,000., there is not too much surrounding it either, the nearest built up areas are Buckley & Mold about 10 miles away, but you arent adding much in the way of population to that perhaps 40,000.
Chester is also close but that is very much English.
At some stage TV will get bored of them as will their new found fans across the world and they will go back to being what they were, a small club with average crowds of around 5,000.
Aside from them Ive never been fond of Coventry as I have alsways fond it a snidy sort of place and the same about Leicester |  |

Other than the skates who i despise i'm pretty indifferent to the rest of the clubs.
I agree that Wrexham aren't a fairytale and all the boll*cks about them being special annoys me, but wouldn't say i disliked them (more the coverage is annoying).
I used to properly dislike Derby for the play offs but these days they're just another club.
Other than that i've never had strong feelings either way for most of the teams in the league |  | | |

I have no opinion of Wrexham FC other than to say you have to tip your hat to the two Hollywood chaps.
Estimates say that the original purchase price was "nominal" given the club was completely f**ked at the time. They have put no more than £30 million into the place and recently sold a 10% slice of it to Apollo for circa £25 million...
To top it off, they are in reach of the Premier league having spent bugger all, their owners are fun and visible and the club is thought to be worth north of £250 million to be used in the top flight if they get there.
These are all things that cannot be said of us. |  | | |

Boro. Never like them. A nothing team and the Riverside in a lego stadium that should really be the site of a nuclear power station, not a football ground. | |

To answer the original question posed...never liked WBA...away days there in the late 60's were always edgy and the very nature of the Back Country added to the shit vibe. | | | |

If Apollo paid circa £25m for 10%, then that means they ALREADY value the club at £250m. It would be worth significantly more in the PL.
The Hollywood pair bought a clapped out non league club, with plans to take it to the PL. SR have exactly the same plan for Saints, but in reverse. | | | |

We ought to merge with them and form the largest break-even sports venture in history. | | | |

One thing I remember aout their "Riverside" stadium is that you'd think it was jst picked up pre-built by a giant helicoptor with the rremit to find and bit of sparse land near the town and just drop it anywhere you like on it! It has to be the shitttiest ground location going | |

Coventry |
I've had a bit of a soft apot for Coventry in as much as I know parts of that area, but also had sympathy for them when they were bought by SISU and tought how we dodged that bullet
But after that Lampard performance, as well as their fans, at SMS this season ll respect went out of the window and I'd now love them to not get that promotion | |

Exactly this.
Walking across wasteland, like as scene from The Warriors, to get there.
And now you mention it, I'd imagine the helicopter flying in each of the four sides separately which were then bolted together with fixings from Ikea. | |

To echo some of you on here, my most disliked clubs are in order
Pmuff - no explanation needed
Everton - goes back to Bailey getting our players sent off, Adrian bloody Heath and their fans in the 80's when they thought they were a big club.
Spurs - horrible North London Rsoles who all think they are better than they are !
In this league - probably :-
Wrexham - Its not football...
Leicester - horrible City and the fans turned when they won the league | | | |

Wrexham, Leicester and Derby
I pretty much dislike every club except Saints and hate quite a few |  |

Ipswich, envious of their achievements, a totally irrational dislike as most people would be indifferent to them.
Leicester, obviously, nothing more to add. | | | |

Can't say as I hate anyone in the Championship much. Yeah I dislike Pompey but really not so much as they are pretty irrelevant. Not keen on Blackburn and Leicester as they won things LOL. Blackburn started this buying the league crap back when Shearer was there, and that made me dislike them quite a bit. Hated Vardy and thus hated Leicester. |  | | |

They've improved the area around the Riverside massively now, last time i went there were bars and pop ups selling decent beer and a some good food spots too.
Think there's either a uni or college near it too so obviously they've invested in that area.
In all honesty it's actually pretty similar to st mary's now as a location, perched near docks and warehouses with a few amenities around it and not a massive walk from the town center | | | |

Don't particularly hate any other clubs in the Championship apart from Pompey. The only clubs I hate are the ones destroying our game and that's Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, Man U and possibly a few others.
Millwall are a team who sing "Noone likes us" and I enjoy beating them to wind them up but that's about as far as it goes. [Post edited 18 Feb 12:38]

That’s easy, Millwall.
They’re the London equivalent of Pompey. | | | |
