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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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)

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
