Definitely before your time but Celtic fans came to Turf Moor for the Anglo Scottish Cup in 1978 and were far from nice...

Trelleborg's knocked Blackburn Rovers out of the UEFA Cup in 1994, Champions League now. Which, frankly, was HILARIOUS as Trelleborg's were a part time club.
It's not a competition. As I stated in a post earlier. One man's derby, is irrelevant to another. Regardless of the size of the club. I'd take far, far, far more pleasure from us beating our big rivals 1-0 in the last minute than us beating Man Utd or Chelsea or whoever 6-0. The point of the...
As stated. Having new fans/foreign fans is not the problem, it's the lack of tickets for regulars. That's for a different topic though as German clubs have safe standing areas, which could accomodate a lot more fans. Our stadium capacity, for example, was reduced from 48,000 to 22,500 with all...
You were indeed correct. Just pointing you in the direction of Bury being on the outskirts of Greater Manchester. Their traditional rivals would be Rochdale, Oldham and these days Bolton Wanderers.
There's an interesting video doing the rounds with a pissed off Liverpool fan (I think it's from one of their Youtube Vlogs) bemoaning the stadium becoming a tourist destination and the number of 'fans' snapping up tickets just to say they've been to Anfield. 'Tourist fans'.
As a sidenote:

Bury is Greater Manchester. Could never be considered local rivals even if they were at our level. Blackburn Rovers has been our local rivals since 1888 and still will be despite their fall from grace under dodgy owners.
It's all subjective. A Bristol Rovers (I know it's been a while) versus Bristol City match for instance will be as passionate as any other 'derby'. It may not resonate on the national scale like so called 'bigger clubs'. But for that day and for weeks before and after. It'll be all their...
That's a tad worrying. Can't be any worse than our other players at corners though. He's a left footer, so if nothing else it will vary our corners as our other players are predominantly right footed. IF he can beat the first man, that is.
If you're a noisy fan. Never. They'll lock you up in their posh dungeon's only to be released on match days. Fear not, Piers Morgan pops around twice a day with champagne and a four course meal as he tells you witty anecdotes of years gone by.
Cheers for that. We have high hopes for him. He certainly gets stuck in and gives 100%. I have been impressed with him from the little game time he has had with the first team. Hope he does well for you.
