is there any kinda ill feelin between Kawasaki fans and verdy?
I don't know about ill feeling, I guess that varies from fan to fan, but there's certainly a strong local rivalry.
Although Verdy are currently no more local than FC Tokyo, they used to be a lot closer to home, as their previous name - Verdy Kawasaki - reveals.
Verdy were the J.League's original glamour boys in the early/mid-nineties. However, attempts to cash in on the popularity of the new competition by establishing a nationwide brand and fanbase left local supporters feeling marginalised.
As Verdy's attendance figures plummeted towards the end of the nineties, and with a truly "local" team (Frontale) picking up more and more of the Kawasaki-based support, Verdy made the decision to up roots and move to West Tokyo, changing its name to Tokyo Verdy in the process.
That's the history anyway. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a more personal insight.
