It seems that most of the famous derbies only have maybe a 10 or 11 game win difference at worst. Millwall have won 24 more games then us which is insane, and in the world of football must be some kind of anomaly. As far as I know even our derbies against the nigels and most other London teams of a similar size to us are far more even (maybe not Fulham).

Grrrr.
Christ, I think we've managed to win once at Highbury and once at the Cameldome since then too.

Only one game is worse than ours which is pretty understanding between the gulf in money that Chelsea (they've won 41 times) have compared to Fulham (have only won on nine occasions)
You've then got the following games which have just one or two games in it...
Brentford (21) v QPR (22)
Peterborough (11) v Cambridge (10)
Rochdale (15) v Bury (16)
Blackburn Rovers (38) v Burnley (36)
Bolton Wanderers (12) v Wigan Athletic (13)
Chesterfield (25) v Mansfield (26)
Stoke (16) v Port Vale (13)
And even the rest there isnt much between the sides:
Everton (57) v Liverpool (75)
Man City (44) v Man Utd (61)
Arsenal (64) v Tottenham (50)
Sunderland (47) v Newcastle (51)
Watford (25) v Luton (32)
West Ham (8) v Millwall (5)
Crystal Palace (32) v Brighton (35)
Oxford (11) v Swindon (21)
Norwich (32) v Ipswich (35)
Colchester (23) v Southend (27)
Cardiff (19) v Swansea (21)
Portsmouth (8) v Southampton (14)
Bristol City (24) v Bristol Rovers (34)
Preston North End (38) v Blackpool (30)
Sheffield Wednesday (36) v Sheffield United (42)
Huddersfield (18) v Oldham Athletic (10)
Accrington (15) v Morcambe (4)
Birmingham (36) v Aston Villa (45)
Coventry (23) v Leicester (36)
Nottingham Forest (35) v Notts County (28)
Nottingham Forest (36) v Derby County (32)
Huddersfield v Oldham ???
; )
We both play on grass
A match made in Heaven?
No. a pain in the arse!
However for sides on a relatively level playing field, it's simply bizarre how our record is so bad.
Aside from Kim grant in the snow and John Hendry at Upton park, i can't think of too many other victories i've seen v them.
