    Derby's invented by the media to try and garner some interest for their TV channels.
    Cardiff City v Wrexham - The Welsh Derby
    Bournemouth v Brighton - The South Coast Derby

    to name but two.

    Games against Wrexham felt a bit different, but did anyone really think of them as a Derby game? The number of times Sky show our matches against the wurzels and the jacks (has there been a Cardiff v Swansea match in the last decade that hasn't been shown live?) suggests they think they are the genuine article.
