No....... A derby is surely a game in the same county at least.</p> Chesterfield is in Chesterfieldshire which is not in South Yorkshire. </p> Radio SheffTyke has it in its regional frequency thus making it into a "derby" but when have we ever paid any attention to them. Apart from this Thursday evening of course. Ahem</p>
They can be called Yorkshire Derbies though.... So what can we call this weeks <span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Colossal</span> match? (Rib Noodles eat your heart out!)</p> I know we'll call it the colossal North Derbyshire - South Yorkshire match. That has a good ring to it.</p> Radio Sheffield Pah</p>
Neither Why? I hear you ask?</p> Because the clubs aren't in Sheffield. Hence the reason for the game not to be called a Sheffield derby.</p> Dee Dahs are Sheffielders with dodgy accents and a drug dealing next door neighbour with dark skin.</p> Both Chesterfield and Barnsley don't have that problem as we are ALL drug dealers and talk reight proper.</p>
RE: No....... on that basis then Sunderland-Newcastle, Norwich-Ipswich, Millwall-West Ham aren't derbies.
Sunderland and Newcastle are in the Metropolitan county of.... Tyne and Wear</p> Norwich and Ipswich - Anglia</p> Millwall and West Ham is a derby due to the Docks where workers worked on both sides of the water and the fact that the grounds are only 6 miles apart.</p> Thanks for joining in like.</p>
