    Burnley v Blackburn should get a mention.
    Struggling to reject this one. Similar size towns and clubs with rich histories. History includes an abandoned game and repeated crowd trouble.

    However, they sing ‘no nay never no more’ to each other, which is some weird ye olde English ditty to sing whilst slurping mead down the inn, and fairly sure both teams run out to the Hovis music. Can’t take them seriously, the nearest to a rivalry is which lot will enter the 20th century first. 

    Rejected.
    Always assumed “no nay never” was some old Irish ditty. God knows why teams in Lancashire sing it.

    Aren't Blackburn and Burnley the rivals that hold a funeral procession whenever the other mob get relegated?

    Derby and forest is also worth a mention.
    Even size clubs with solid history, and a step up from the East Anglia nonsense, but one of their badge is a sheep and the other is a tree. More Countryfile with John Craven than football. Rejected. 
    Derby and Forest also play for the Brian Clough trophy every league game. How many other derbies play for a trophy twice a season?

    No wonder Shay Given left Blackburn after 2 games.

    Nothing phony about the “Old Farm Derby”. People get pretty pumped up for it out here.

    nice to meet you yesterday, @Briston_Addick

    Premier League derbies like Man United/Liverpool and Arsenal/Spurs are too diluted by plastic fans for me to be too interested in them. 

    The best derbies are those that mean the most to the fans involved, which will often be those from the Championship and lower leagues.

    I’ve been to Millwall v West Ham and haven’t experienced anything else quite like it.

    2nd city derby tops it I reckon.

    One that's not yet been mentioned:

    Blackpool v Preston

    Imo Liverpool v Man United is the biggest, and best club game in world football. The hatred between the 2 cities goes back hundreds of years and has become embodied in the game between English footballs 2 most successful entities (Ryan Giggs is 3rd BTW).
    Liverpool v United can be an insanely boring match up football-wise these days. Arsenal v Spurs tends to have more goals regardless of where the teams are in the league.

    Hibs v Hearts was a bit lively when I went a few years back. I’ve been to three Celtic v Rangers and they are interesting.

    I wouldn't say either of those was a great English derby.

    Some may laugh but whenever York play Scarborough it always brings out a few who take their support to a more hostile level. I went to a couple in the 90s when I was younger and dafter and picked up my only arrest ever (it was a case of mistaken identity) when it went off in York city centre. They played each other in Scarborough last week in a the North Riding Cup and by all accounts there were skirmishes around the town from mid-afternoon onwards.

    Grew up in Swindon and their derby with Oxford was a really big deal in that part of the world with predictable amounts of pent up local aggro on display.

    To me the best Derbies have to be between 2 fairly evenly sized clubs, and where the level of passion is similar from both sides. Where one side is massively smaller or less successful than the other, then it tends to become too one way. Similarly if the "hatred" is mainly from one set of supporters

    If nothing else, the rise of City has made the actual Manchester derby much more important to fans than it would have been 20 years ago, when  it was the big game for the City fans, but not the Utd fans whose club was at a much higher level

    Reading v Oxford is the derby for them?

    Reading is a big rival for the other two as well but Swindon and Oxford have probably been at the same level more times and there's definitely more hatred between those two.

    Me and my mates used to be sure to be at Highbury for the arse / spuds match 70/80' s Spurs totally took the piss taking the north bank, every game we went to. Remember Terry Naylor appluading that stand as his name was bellowed out.
