April 16, 200818 yr Apparently had 500 extra police on for this game. All pubs shut 4 hours before kick off. This is the game that apparently attracts the most football related disorder in England at present.

I don't think i've ever seen a game against them at Burnden were there wasn't trouble.

Liverpool & Manchester United 4. Portsmouth & Southampton 5. Cardiff City & Swansea City http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtm...5/sfnwba115.xml

Do we feature at all in the top 100? Accrington v Morecambe ?????? The Brighton v Palace always amuses me. Where does the history come from in this one?

April 16, 200818 yr the missus was at uni in alsager (about half way between Crewe and Stoke)on derby day everyone just stayed well away from either.
April 17, 200818 yr Author They've obviously never been to a Sheffield derby, now they are horrible! I went to university in Sheffield and went to quite a few derbies. Saw quite a bit of trouble, but wasn't that bad.
April 17, 200818 yr Other than the Old Firm games, the bitterest has to be Brum/Villa. Class warfare that is. As TSO says, Brum p1ss it.
April 17, 200818 yr That list is obviously a load of crap....one of the worst was Chelsea Tottenham, Arsenal Tottenham is nothing compared to that one.
April 17, 200818 yr That list is obviously a load of crap....one of the worst was Chelsea Tottenham, Arsenal Tottenham is nothing compared to that one. You may have a point. But you're not arguing about Bury/Rochdale!!!!
April 17, 200818 yr TSO, I'm not sure football rivalry is exclusively about knocking f?ck out of each other!
April 17, 200818 yr I went to university in Sheffield and went to quite a few derbies.Saw quite a bit of trouble, but wasn't that bad. they did though have a steel city friendly in a pre season match and either before/after a bloke had a paving stone dropped on his head, so they got Mark Bright to publicly ask for calm before the next one, if that counts
April 17, 200818 yr TSO, I'm not sure football rivalry is exclusively about knocking f?ck out of each other! Never went to a local rivalry where there wasn't someone looking to have a pop at you as an away supporter
April 17, 200818 yr I remember a friendly between Portsmouth and Southampton (it might have been Alan Knight's testimonial) in the early/mid-nineties. Saints had been in the top division for ages while Pompey had struggled down the leagues, so they hadn't met in ages. Carnage ensued.
April 17, 200818 yr they are each others closest rivals Places such as Crawley/Horsham/Gatwick areas there is support for both, they really don't like each other very much. Although to be honest most people in this town support West Ham or Spurs with a smattering of West Sussex Reds (both Liverpool & Utd).
April 17, 200818 yr Apparently had 500 extra police on for this game.All pubs shut 4 hours before kick off. This is the game that apparently attracts the most football related disorder in England at present. I thought they'd be on strike...or maybe arresting thieving smackheads who rob old women....but that doesn't get the same amount of press

April 17, 200818 yr leeds v scum only 4 places above bury v rochdale! leeds hate them more than we do and its nasty! believe me i've been a few! baaaaa baaaaa baaaaaaa!!!
April 18, 200818 yr i'm at uni in sheffield and the derby wasn't half as bad as i thought it would of been, high levels of policing and every bar in town either closed or being heavily guarded by bouncers probably played its part.
Apparently had 500 extra police on for this game.
