Which 'derby' game interests you the most as a neutral?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Not interested in any other 'derby' for its 'derby' aspect. For personal reasons (age 11 one was my team and the other was my middle brother's) that have lingered, Leeds vs Chelsea is the only game outside of ours that has any special interest.

What about Brighton rivalries? In recent times it was Bentford and Oriscum (with grudging apologies to whoever posted about annoying team name alterations for low comic effect). And Baaduff, Cheaterfraud, Stains and effing Reading. The team I'd most like to see Brighton rip up and burn: ManUre. Obviously. My hatred of them, in a Brighton context, outweighs the A23/M23 thing. Actually, despite everything, which includes having rocks thrown at me after a game at shitehole park, (and I can say this now the thumbs down button has gone) I have never had much antagonism towards in the alice, even taking a mild interest in them circa 1969 because they had nice pale blue shirts with mauve pinstripes, and a silly name.

I have been to many of them and a few of them have been quite tepid affairs. I know you said away but the bore draw at Withdean even had both sets of fans exiting at the same time, so bored and cold that they couldn't be bothered to shout insults at each other never mind throw a punch.

I have not been to a Millwall v West Ham match (or some of the others listed) but I suspect that it is an altogether different league of hatred.

Not how I remember that evening to be honest it was lively in town before and after the game.

Real Betis v Sevilla is always very lively. They do not like each other, big time. Fancy that for a winter sun weekend.

I used to hark after Celtic v Rangers but I think I'd be less tolerant of the bigoted singing these days.

I've been to West Brom v Wolves which has a bite. I remember some great songs in the Wolves end.

what's Chesterfield v Mansfield like?

That's a really good question, not a rivalry I've heard anything about but I'll see, should be another Derbyshire v Notts rivalry

Really? They can't stand each other!

Really? They can't stand each other!

I'll take you're word for it! I guess, and with all respect, we've VERY rarely been in the same division as either of them so it could easily have passed me by.

Watched the Ruhr derby on tv over the weekend Dortmund v Schalke. Looked like a cracking atmosphere.

Us and Southend usually kicks off somewhere.

 

[Mr Putdown]

Port Vale vs Stoke is always a lively affair to say the least.

 

[atfc village]

Would always fancy Hajduk Split v Dynamo Zagreb ,I know it's not a Derby but they are the top 2. A few years back i saw Hajduk at home in a League game in front of 4000 . 5 days later i saw them in front of 39000 in a Uefa Cup tie v a Montenegran side ,no love lost and a cracking if not a bit over the top atmosphere .

 

[Pevenseagull]

Went to Welling v Dartford last season but I wasn't a neutral. UP THE WINGS!!!!

 

[porkdog]

Went to Real / Barca match last year at the Bernabau, was without a doubt the best footballing experience of my life. however the ticket was £695.00 but my mate paid, so was more than happy to tag along. was also quite happy with being able to drink / smoke in my seat.

I never realised that the two teams are situated on different continents. Galatasaray are in Europe whilst Fenebache are located over the river which happens to be Asia. As they say, you learn something new every day.

 

[Brownstuff]

Celtic v Rangers by far
Only if I was at the ground though, wouldn't be interested on the box
