    A little bit bizarre that Crawley Town are the 14th most hated club in England. Obviously having had the much maligned Steve Evans in charge did nothing for them in the popularity stakes.

    Headline statistics

    17 clubs' main rivals have changed since 2003.

    Leeds United, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest have the most teams considering them as main rivals (three each).

    Gillingham  have the fewest rivals, appearing in no club’s top three rivalries.

    52.2% of fans believe that geographical proximity is the cause of their main rivalry. 34.7% blame it on history whereas 8.2% think it’s down to league position.

    73.9% of football fans claim they would miss their rivals if they ceased to exist.
