Our story
Built by fans, for fans
Rivals was started by father and son Anthony and Dylan Furnell — Dylan a lifelong Pokémon card fan who wanted to build the kind of place he’d have loved as a kid.
It’s a genuinely inclusive community space in the heart of Ryde: somewhere friendships can grow, young people feel welcome, and people with shared interests can find their tribe.
