what is it then?

Imo which i know may not be right I only class a derby as two same city clubs so like us and your city. Forest derby is notts county. Forest v derby is just a local ish game like you v Wolverhampton or us v barnsley.

fair enough. I'd say it's way more heated than villa v wolves or Sheffield Utd v Barnsley but I see where you're coming from.

I agree I'm not doubting that

So no-one who is in a one-club town/city is allowed a derby? Seems a little unfair!

That's a good point I suppose and I did say it was only my opinion that doesn't mean I'm right. Is there actually a proper definition of a football derby?

The definition is subjective but inner city derbies generally seem to be fiercer.

The only two derbies in the UK that require all away fans to be bussed in aren't same city derbies; in fact in one case they're in separate countries! On the whole I do agree though.

Blackburn Burnley and City Cardiff is it? Though having said that, City Cardiff wasn't a bubble match this season, but it will be next season if we're in the same division after the trouble at their place on the Friday night.

Us/dingles and Chester/Wrexham are the ones that are consistently bubble games IIRC

I am in agreement with blademan89 in that any proper derby is that between 2 sides from the same city.
If you are not 'fortunate' to be a 2 team city then I can stretch it being in the same county but some of these matches being classed as 'derby' games is getting ridiculous

BBC were keen to emphasise how Man Utd v Blackburn in the cup is a derby game....

It's a different kind of rivalry. I would say that traditionally an in-city derby is about being the best team in your city, and as fans you're much more likely to have regular contact with fans of the opposing team (at school, work, etc). An inter-city derby has a wider significance, it's about which town/city (or even county) is better, and for fans there's more of the 'other' where you only see the opponents twice a year. I'm not saying one is better than the other, they're just different.

Playing regularly is also a factor, not just proximity - Ipswich is much closer to Colchester than it is to Norwich, for example.

Surely if they aren't local then they are just rivals

The BBC can fuck off with that.

Our only derby is with Burnley, though I can see the Preston games getting tastier now. Anyone that says us against Wigan or Bolton is a derby needs to give their head a wobble.

When are the next set of Sky fixtures likely to be released?

Got a feeling they will try and sabotage our Newcastle weekend.

They get released at different times now I think, it has to be a minimum 5 weeks before the game. I saw yday Wednesday v Newcastle was put on. Don't no the date.
