I did mention your derby as a proper one as it’s same city effort. In my opinion it was not in the top bracket because, although it will be a massive deal in the city, out of it, it’s not a massive deal. I do appreciate however the passion and hatred. Especially as they decline and you are getting better.how have you decided this by the way? we've not played them in a first team game for over 20 years and the last thing that resembled a derby resulted in loads of arrests, them smashing our stadium up and lots of damage to cars/property around burslem. (the pizza cup game against their u21s)
I think it would calm down a bit if we ended up playing them regularly, but our first derby back with them will be complete and utter chaos. policed to within an inch of its life. kick off at 8am on a sunday morning with away fans held back for 6 hours in the stadium afterwards
Glasgow is different to everything else in fairness, not 100% football is it
I met a Wrexham fan last year that tried to tell me their derby with Chester is one of the most fierce in football, to him perhaps it is, but to the rest of us it ain’t. And he was a bellend as well - so i hope Chester dick them next time they meet.
