    Poll above.

    I’m not asking who Barnsley Football Club’s biggest rival is, I’m asking which of them feels best to YOU if we beat them. Could be down to family, friends, colleagues, or past experience that just puts one local team above all else.

    Did a certain ex-gaffer and ex-skipper maybe have something to do with that?

    Sheffield United. Please beat them.

    Any club who puts one of our players out for months, and then announces 'well played, Chris Morgan' in the away match later that season, is beyond contempt.

    I hope we destroy them every single time we play them. Vile fans. Despicable club.

    I just want to beat anyone and everyone really. A bit of a cop out, but it's true.

    Leeds/Hudds for me. I think it’s as a result of living in Mapp/Staincross (close to Wakefield) that I run into way more West Yorks fans than I do Fowls/Blunts.

    Gone with Wednesday, but they're irrelevant right now. Tbh though I don't really have a burning passion about it. I think I've mellowed with age. They're all just 'the other team' to me. It's not always the local teams for me either. Birmingham for example, I found to be a pretty obnoxious bunch, based on what I saw and heard last week.

    It used to be Leeds for me until I spoke to a few Leeds fans and they nonchalantly told me they don't class us as rivals. I thought why lose sleep over them.

    Millwall. Voted Wednesday but they're really an irrelevance this season at least.

    I'll go with QPR, Coventry, Norwich City, Cardiff City and Ipswich Town.

    I don't think any local team classes us as a serious local rival.

    Utd and Wednesday are rivals
    Rotherham see either Sheffield team as rivals
    Leeds see Man U as rivals
    Hudds see Leeds as rivals
    Donny are probably the only team that see us as a local rival, but even then the Donny fans I know put Rotherham and scunny before us.

    Agree. I don't think anyone is bothered about us other than ourselves. If I say I'm a Barnsley supporter. It's usually met with a "meh" reaction. "Alright" or "that's nice".

    Yep, we're pretty beige to most folk... Aside from Peterborough and now Wigan!

    Leeds 1st then Wednesday for me.

    Went to school with loads of Leeds fans & a few Wednesday fans. Can’t remember any Sheff Utd, Huddersfield, Donny or Rotherham fans at school so that’s probably where it stems from. Also only really worked with Leeds & Wednesday fans out of the local clubs.

    There was a bit of a spell where Sheff Utd became more of a rival with the Morgan / Hume incident, Howard, Bogdanovic & then us relegating them at Brammall Lane but I didn’t mind them doing well under Wilder where as I really wouldn’t like to see Leeds or Wednesday pushing for Europe.

    Probably dislike Man Utd more than the other local clubs. School was full of them.

    yeah i seriously hope we batter west brom 3-0 in both games. Horrid seeing them score that last minute winner and val going nuts :( lets hope hes not taken all the momentum with him and these new lads hit the ground running. On paper we could have some gems. Lets hope schopp moulds them and us into a great team.
