Been to Blackpool/Preston Preston/Blackpool a couple of times just to see what all the fuss was about.

 

One was a Friday night at Preston they were attacking eachother outside the Deepdale with the contents of a building site.Couldnt help but laugh when Blackpool got beat 3-0.

 

Other was at Blackpool,think it 1-1 and Preston invaded the Scratching shed to front out 3 old men and a dog.

Done Forest V Leicester (East Midlands Derby) in the Leicester end - fierce rivalry; Mackems v Jawdees in the Jawdee end - amazing atmosphere; Dundee Utd v Aberdeen - in the away end, lots of drunken jocks trying to stab each other; Sheffield derby - quite pleasant; Ipswich v Norwich - seen more tension on Astley Bridge bowling green.

 

Went with mates who followed one of the teams - wasn't interested in the football as I only get passionate about BWFC but wanted to experience the atmosphere at these games. None of them compared to Black Sunday for passion/edge - still makes me shiver thinking about that day.

It the 'East Coast' derby in Scotland, used to be the closest team to Aberdeen that played top flight football in Scotland - Aberdeen fans see Dundee Utd as their main rivals. It's a bit like Newcastle v Boro being the Tyne-Tees derby, they are 40 miles apart but they are still rivals and it is called a derby.
