Rivals
The clubs rivals include FC Groningen, FC Zwolle, Go Ahead Eagles, and there is fierce rivalry with SC Heerenveen because both clubs are from the same region. In the 1970s and 1980s Cambuur was bigger than Heerenveen; in the 1990s they were equal in size. After the relegation in 2000, Cambuur lost many fans and corporate sponsors, while Heerenveen grew much larger. In 2010 Cambuur had reclaimed some of the local fandom. The fans of both clubs hope that the derby will return one day.

Famous quotes containing the word rivals:
“What poet would not grieve to see
His brother write as well as he?
But rather than they should excel,
He’d wish his rivals all in Hell.”
