The term derby in football

[Winging It]

Like it or not,  tomorrow IS a derby game !  For some of us to dismiss it, or them the opponents as worthy derby opposition comes across as a bit snobbish.

The term derby's definition is as follows - Games between two rivals of close geographical proximity are usually called a local derby, or simply just derby.  A sporting fixture between two teams from the same town, city or region, particularly in association football.   

As there are no other league rivals from this County then of course they are the rivals and derby opponents.  Really does baffle my why people still harp on about this when the simple fact remains...that it is such a game.  Its time we put this debate to bed and accept the truth.

Corby is in Northhamptonshire,  so not a derby !  And both sit around 55 miles from Boston so there is no difference in distance. A derby is all about local rivalry,  local as in Lincolnshire !

So if we played Grimsby Borough, is that a derby? Appleby Frodingham? Barton Town Old Boys?

Has they been in the same league then yes, but who's the local rivals in our league and hence the derby game ?  As i've previously stated,  i have assisted with the correct terms meaning according to google so we just have to accept it even if we don't want to see those minnows from north of the county as close rivals and derby opponents.

This debate is almost as tedious as calling the team yellows when we play in amber !

I'd call it local but definitely not worthy of the phrase Derby, they bring 26 fans...

It's a local away game, for it to be a derby from me I'd have to look for it when the fixtures come out.
