Although I'm a Man City fan, I've spent a lot of my life living in Plymouth and now Portsmouth as well. So naturally I follow this league quite a bit, nearly as much as the Premier League and much more than the Championship and League 1.
I was wondering what the general feeling was about which game people thought was the biggest in the league... For me the obvious choice would be Plymouth-Portsmouth but that may be more due to the fact that there's a big rivalry within the navy between Plymouth and Portsmouth. However I do follow argyle quite a bit and for me although argyle fans hate Exeter fans more, Plymouth v Portsmouth just feels like a much bigger occasion. But what do other fans think about which game is the biggest? And is the 'Dockyard Derby' actually a thing or is it just the clubs media trying to attract more attention to the game? I do think though that the longer these two clubs stay in the same league and continue to be around the same position in the table this could develop into much more than what it is now as I think they are natural rivals due to the Naval history and the fact that they are very similar sized cities with a working class population.
