thanks Roygbiv

Here’s where our unbeaten home run ends. Two people who are very much disliked here in Duffy and Knill returning and Sharp to an extent spell disaster. Sheff United were also the last team to beat us at home so it would make sense if they did it again, not optimistic about this one

"We have picked up four points from the last two and go into a derby two points clear at the top towards the end of September"

Exactly what constitutes a "derby" these days? I'm thinking having the same initials is about a close as we get on this one . . . . .

I think it's any game where supporters of the clubs are likely to work or go to school together. So, I'd guess there are a few Blades around the Scunny area and so, for them, it's a derby. For non-Lincolnshire Blades, it's not. Same as when we play Chesterfield. To them, we're rivals but Chessy are only rivals to those Blades who live in the Chesterfield area.

Closer than Norwich / Ipswich though, they're a long way apart

Closer than Norwich / Ipswich though, they're a long way apart

Those sides don't have anyone closer though. For me, a derby is a game against the geographically closest side and it has to be mutual. Below that you have rivalries.

Derbies:
United v Wednesday
Forest v Notts County
Man U v Man C
Liverpool v Everton
Norwich v Ipswich
Arsenal v Spurs
Atletico v Real
Barcelona v Espanyol
Inter v AC Milan
River Plate v Boca Juniors
etc

Rivalries:
United v other South Yorks sides
Liverpool v Man U
Leeds v anyone
Barcelona v Real
Inter v Juventus
PSG v Marseille
etc

Not even close:
United v Scunthorpe

I always look for the 'Wednesday-Hull-Leeds-Grimsby-Barnsley-Donny-Rotherham-Lincoln-Are-In-Different-Divisions-So-This-Will-Have-To-Do' derby.

I'm fuckin pumped for this one.

I'm thinking I have to get up in the morning and go to Glanford Park, a lego set plonked in a Tesco car park
