By the way, the only reason Bournemouth aren't mentioned in this thread is because they don't have a serious local rival. But if Dorchester Town, Weymouth or Hamworthy United ever make it into Bournemouth's division, that will be the naffest football rivalry of all time. Southampton’s down the road, why haven’t they tried to spark something up there. But then again Southampton v Portsmouth is itself as tame as they come.

Blackburn V Burnley Clash of the outside toilet and tin bath households Growing up in East Lancashire, this rivalry has always been fierce. My grandad always used to say…”batten down the hatches, there’ll be a massive riot” whenever this derby took place. Blackburn fans have to travel to the Burnley game on police escorted coaches from the M65 into Burnley and vice versa. One occasion that Blackburn beat the Clarets at Turf Moor in the early noughties, Burnley fans smashed every shop window in the town centre. Totally mindless vandalism. Always a bit testy on these Derby days so you avoid each town like the plague!

Seems like I picked a bad example of one that isn't fierce locally 😁

Oldest football rivalry I believe mate that one. Along with West Brom v Wolves Apparently back in the day there was no such rivalry - West Brom and Villa were the rivals. Wolves had to make do with their insignificant Staffordshire rivals ...... you know who.

A few yrars back Id have said Liverpool Everton. Fans sat amongst each other getting on fine. In fact in the 80s they turned into a Merseyside v the establishment at derby matches. Seems to be more hate these days, certainly from the Everton side
The Milan derby in Italy is similar, nowhere near the hatred you get at the Rome derby. Think Inter fans reserve their hatred for Juve
Never really got the Palace Brighton one. Surely theres enough teams in London for Palace to have a local rival

I don't like this post This sort of thing legitimises the 'you have to be a big club' to matter Rangers v Celtic for example is 80% armchair plastics that live nowhere near Glasgow and don't actually support their local team. Norwich and Ipswich is a pretty fierce one - two clubs who dominate their neighbouring counties and there's no love lost there whatsoever. On the face of it Stoke v Vale is powerdpuff stuff if you want to big up Arsenal v Tottenham or whatever big club bollocks you want to bleat on about. Sorry but in this case 'I'm out' Is it! Chelsea and Fulham being seen as a rivalry that doesn't matter goes against that theory Not sure what you're basing the plastics cliche on re the Old Firm. Second and third generation fans all around the world pack pubs etc for that one and the biggest rivalry in football. Do you have to live in Glasgow to be passionate about either? The old firm is probably the derby with the most hatred involved in world football and one of the biggest in world football. Shouldn't even be mentioned in a naffest football rivalries thread. Other than Stoke, Celtic are the only other team I want to win every week so no you don't have to live in Glasgow to be passionate about either club.

Yeah Saints Pompey is pure hatred Similar to Blackburn Burnley in that one club (Pompey, Burnley) has a far more notorious firm than the other

As avid footy enthusiasts, we’re all too familiar with some of the most ferocious football rivalries out there. The likes of River Plate vs Boca Juniors, a twice yearly Argentine civil war where sometimes a game of football breaks out in the middle, or Galatasaray vs Fenerbache, a rivalry so deeply soaked in hatred to this day every single dartboard sold in certain regions of Turkey has a pattern of Graeme Souness’s face. But what about the absolutely pointless ones? The ones that have you questioning how on earth that one even came about in the first place. I’ll kick us off with Norwich vs Ipswich, a completely pointless “rivalry” about who’s Massey Ferguson can plough the turnip fields the quickest and who can get their sibling pregnant first, there’s about as much malice in that fixture than there is in a pillow fight at Thomas Hitzlspergers house. To be fair the old farm derby has as long as I can remember been a 12 o’clock kick off on plods advice There’s no love between norfolk and Suffolk

Disagree, Southampton v Pompey has a right edge to it........ They utterly despise each other - maybe more than they love their own team, in my experience. I'd say Saints Pompey is one of the spiciest.

Surely theres enough teams in London for Palace to have a local rival They bill it as the A23 derby, Palace being at the north end of the A23 and Brighton the south. I think Palace have a bit of a south London rivalry with Millwall when they are in the same division. Millwall call Palace fans the 'Nigels' believing their top boys to be basically a bunch of middle class 6th formers! 😆

Palace vs Brighton is one of the most ridiculous. At least an hour and 1/2 on the train or over an hour by car. In that time a Stokie could be further than Leicester, nearly towards Bristol or in Liverpool. It's like draw a circle and pick your "nearest" team. It's not a derby and never will be.

Not necessarily talking derbies are we? But I agree, it’s a bit weird
