Nottingham Trent vs Nottingham

I hear there's a big rivalry in the city between the two sets of students.

I've heard the words' "Toffs" and "Polys" branded about.... :biggrin:

What it's really like? I'd like there to be some sort of rivalry as I'm a devout football supporter and I enjoy a bit of banter. Apparantly there's some sort of Varsity series? Does it include a football match? If so, what kind of attendance does it yet?

It is more a banter type rivalry than anything serious. Football is included in the Varsity Series. Played at Meadow Lane (Notts County's ground), with quite a big attendance. Maybe upwards of 4000?

From my experience the two unis dont really mix accept then the varisty series is on or the nottingham uni ice hockey team is playing (as both uni's combine), some hilarious chants get started at each other, its great fun :biggrin:

Got to disagree there Candino. Nottingham needs Trent as much as it needs the Uni.

Arguments like that are precisely why they didn't get into a proper uni.
