This is very true, what they hate even more is pity. Same with the jacks, a couple of whom I was forced to socialise with last summer, good banter as it should be, they only lost it when I said I pity them in their current predicament, hedge fund owners and Jenkins doing them over etc....lost it, couldn’t take pity from a bluebird. Loved it.

I think it is the consistency of games that kee 8ps the derby alive.
For example I know TOBW has alway regarded Bristol as our main rival because for many years we played them regularly when Swanses were in a lower division.
I only started watching football a few years before Bob but my Dad always regarded Swansea as our main rivals.
It wasn' t so bitter in the early sixties though.
I remember going to the Vetch when Swansea and Cardiff fans sat in the same stand together. We had Swansea fans in the row immediately behind us.
There was rivalry and banter but it was all quite friendly.
Changed in the late sixties and has never been the same since unfortunately.
To the detriment of the game 👍

As the crow flies we are very close

Can’t get behind a Newport win, all the best to Mansfield tonight.

Not if it was in League 2. And at Rodney Parade.
That's like saying Tranmere v Liverpool is bigger than Man U v Liverpool.

Doesn’t matter who it’s against. The real meaning of the term “ Derby” is a game against the nearest league team to you. Your getting mixed up with “ rivalry”.

One of the saves was reminiscent of Gordon Banks' save against Pelé.

Re: Good Luck to County tonight...
0-0 at half time at Mansfield, but County have missed so many chances and it's hard not to believe they are going to live to regret their profligacy.
