I quite like Bournemouth for some reason, and couldn't really give a shit about Brighton, so I do find it funny that they hate us. Didn't Preston used to have some random beef with us as well? I think a proper QPR rivalry would be good for all parties. I could see a rivalry with Leeds developing, what with the Galatasaray and McD links.

Personally, in no particular order, teams I hate the most are:

QPR
Chelsea
West Ham
Liverpool (not sure if this one would have much legs)

Preston beef was due to Mad Dog.

He made our players warm up at their preferred end of Deepdale or something...

I've been there three times, twice for the darts and once to attend the parkrun at Frimley Lodge.

Yep, a few incidents over a period of a year. From memory:-

1) Pre-season 99 - PNE agree fee with Birmingham for Forster, Forster agrees terms with PNE, Burns submits same bid having been tipped off of Forster's availability and offers Forster better terms than PNE, Forster swings the car around and joins RFC.

2) January 00 - PNE agree fee with Cambridge for Martin Butler, Butler talks to PNE, Pardew gets wind that Butler is available and submits similar offer to PNE, Butler chooses RFC over PNE despite us being in the Div 2 relegation zone and PNE top. Cambridge allow Butler to join only after their FA Cup run comes to an end (5th round defeat to Bolton)

3) March 00 - Butler's first game for Reading, PNE at Deepdale. Mad Dog gets Howie & Whitehead out first and gets them to warm up in the goal PNE warm up in. PNE keepers come out and start warming up in the same goal. Police get involved, threaten Mad Dog with arrest, Whitehead and Howie move up the other end. Forster & Butler both get the bird all game, however MAd Dog/RFC get the last laugh. Forster & Butler both score in a 2-2 draw.

I'd have suggested Pompey as rivals after 2008, seems unlikely now... :D
