BS4 on Tour... Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Jeff Stelling just said Exeter have taken the lead in the 'west country derby against Cheltenham'....does anyone really think this is a derby?! There's about 120 miles between them, how can that be a derby? I think some people confuse rivalry with derby....eg there's always a lot of edge when Colchester play Wycombe and when Carlisle and Wigan meet but that's for historical reasons but I've still heard people call them derbies. Surely a derby is a game between two teams who are the nearest to each other? Don't see how Cheltenham vs Exeter is a derby, if it is then Brentford vs City is a derby being about the same distance... Happy to be proved wrong, just bored on a non-City day...I'll go back go playing my guitar now, and that is not a euphemism!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Swindon isn't a derby either, its all pretty pathetic, we have Rovers and Cardiff at a push, couldn't care less about the others Football in the southwest is so small time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
