I've watched the London clubs play one another and hasn't done it for me like watching the Hoops against the 'gers. On the day, those players are going for each others throats.

Im a Blackpool fan and we only have one team in the town but boy when we play Preston....600kms is taking it too far though. Burnley-Blackburn is another nasty one that many people dont know about while Fiorentina v Bologna is a mightily friendly derby (because they are both glad they can call it a derby as they are one-team cities) I think you can extend it to towns near each other.
