Talk:Tyne-Tees derby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've removed this derby from the template Template:United Kingdom Football Derbies, due to the fact that Boro are not Newcastle's biggest rival (Sunderland are), and because even this article disputes its status as a derby. --Jameboy 08:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

It's still something that is often referred to as a derby though, and based on the survey Newcastle are at least Boro's main rivals (though definately not the other way around). However, it isn't as big as the other derbys on the template definately, so I don't have too much of an issue with its removal. --Simmo676 09:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

It may not be a local Derby but its still a regional derby. A more approproate derby for Boro would be Sunderland and maybe Hartlepool if they could manage to scrape their way up —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.19.17 (talk) 00:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
