Millwall v West Ham - meh. Not a proper rivalry, people only notice it because of crowd trouble. Here are my reasons: West Ham are 4 or 5 times bigger so it's lopsided, their games are never played to full houses because of crowd trouble, and most West Ham fans in an average office barely give a toss about Millwall. West Ham consider Spurs every bit as big a game as Millwall anyway, and Chelsea not far behind.

I would agree with you regarding Cardiff and Swansea. Like many town v town rivalries, there are forces aside from football at work there.
Sorry .. it's a no brainer... WHU v Millwall is purely evil...

Try asking the opinion of older Hammers fans that are not office workers.
I don't need to, I know the answer I'd get. I also know that it is a nasty violent rivalry. But it has to be said, "older West Ham fans who are not office workers" are only a subsection of their support. For example, if you ask older Albion fans (from before the 60s) who our biggest rivals are, they will tell you it is Portsmouth!
