Template talk:United Kingdom Football Derbies

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

nice template, however ive removed sheffield derby, as the main page on this is steel city derby. ive removed south wales derby, as its a red link. finally ive removed new firm, as this is not a local derby. Willy turner 18:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Having both The Tyne-Wear and Tyne-Tees derbies is a bit of a cheat, especially as the Tyne-Tees derby article itself disputes whether it is in fact a derby. I'm removing Tyne-Tees on that basis. In order to keep things manageable, I think the criteria for this infobox should be as follows

• Each team should appear only once
• Fans of the two teams in the derby should both regard the other as their biggest rival --Jameboy 08:37, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• The Birmingham teams derby is rarely referred to as the Birmingham derby, and is most commonly called the "Second City derby" Plkrtn 12:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

• ahem, what has happened to the Derby of England, probably the biggest game in english football! El-Nin09 20:16, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd liked to know if the Leicester-Coventry rivalry counts even though it isnt seen as big as the ones already on the template. Thanks.- Helloimhappysunday.

I've made it 'major' derbies to make things easier.Helloimhappysunday.
