Introduction There is always one game that means more to the fans than any other. Whether it just means bragging rights at work, or a deeper feeling of justice over the old enemy, some matches are just more important than others. Using a survey of football fans around the country, the teams that they consider their main rivals have been plotted in this atlas. The routes shown follow the roads from one club to another, hinting at the away day coach journeys that fans have to take. Certain clubs have been highlighted with icons to represent the quality of there pies, price of beer and price of tickets. This information was collected from news websites, message boards and other sources, so can be taken with a pinch of salt.
Information was correct at the time of print, April 2013. All efforts were made to ensure that no errors were made in this atlas. Opinions are subjective and no offence is intended by the rating system used. Designed by Jonathan Hill www.jonathanhill.co.uk Printed by Ripe Digital www.ripedigital.co.uk
