So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

With the arrival of Morecambe,(congratulations),I am curious as to which club we meet next season(league) will be considered the main derby match? Please enlighten me.:)

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

The closest is Rochdale (not counting the Burnley friendly), but Morecambe would be a good boxing day fixture.:banane58:

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

Depends which way you go but if go by motorway then you pass Bury's ground to get to Rochdale :confused:

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

I think Morecambe is the real derby, as there is a history between us. In terms of distance theen it must be Bury, I would think. But there isn't a history between us and Bury.... yet.

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

It will great with all the games 50miles or less for us...

Bury
Rochdale
Stockport
Macclesfield
Bradford
Morecambe
Chester
Wrexham

I think Bury is the derby match.....

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

And that makes it a derby game because..........?

Nice question KJ, we took a lot to Bury and Rochdale, we're definitely Morecambe's main derby match, and both still proper Lancashire.
It's Bury and Morecambe for me, there's more banter with these two. :)

Plus we have a "Roses" battle this year with Bradford :rose8:

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

Not forgetting Rotherham, of course :o

[Bad year for Yorkshire, wasn't it? :) ............With the exception of Farsley Celtic]

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

When did they move Chester and Wrexham ? :confused:

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

Is this even a serious question? Morecambes the Derby Match. I don't even consider Bury, Rochdale, Stockport or Macclesfield derbies. They're just close clubs which will obviously mean a lot of fans showing up. But none of 'em came even close to the atmosphere of a Morecambe game. Dale and Bury we pretty good, but still, not even close.

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

Got to agree with Diesel, due to the history between us & Morecambe I realy hope this is our Boxing Day/New Years Day fixture.

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

When I posed the question,I guess I was referring to abit of 'history' as such as opposed to the club 'next door'.. So if I was to time a trip over to Accy, should I be aiming at the Morecambe game for some real 'passion' both on and off the field?

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

Without a doubt Kiwi - that would be the one to try & go to (although now we've just nicked one of Ince's best players there could be some fun & games there):cool:

Re: So who's the REAL derby game then?
 

Depends on your definition of history - we may not have played Bury and Rochdale between 1962 and 2006 but I guess they were pretty regular opponents for fifty years before that (OK I haven't checked the exact details). How far back does our Morecambe "history" go ? I think I remember playing them in the Lancs Comb in 62-65, but when did the '68 club first scramble far enough up the pyramid to meet them again ?

Genuine question, not trying to be clever :rolleyes:
