Indeed. We only just sold out for the biggest game we've had in 7 years. Yet MLG think 45,000 people will pay £40 to see Wigan on a tuesday night in February.

Indeed, all those thousands you told us will be coming across from Wales and Cornwall every week for a start.

One Those 3 or Victor Moses, Jarvis or Peter Whittigham. O'hara for the middle. FACT.

He should be able to stand and politely applaud Like 75% of our fans do at games.

To be fair most people from Basingstoke are helmets who think they are Londoners so I wouldn't trust anything they say.

They've also has deals on groupon this season. We don't Seem to be very good at encouraging your twice a seasoners to come along. although go be fair what with it being such a great time to be a Saints fan you'd think people wouldnt need adverts in papers to get their arse off the sofa.

Give it a rest FFS. That joke isn't funny anymore.

I agree with all of what you say, except it's nothing like Brad Pitt going through her, with Reading it's more like prefering Barry from Eastenders.

Shh Super Mikey, we've already establish you know FA about football. Stick to talking about question time on the lounge.

So they disagee with it because you say they will? Brilliant. Case closed then.

are you pampering lifes complexities again FFS?

Opps, it looks like he's started something he couldn't finish.

Well that's a lot of ****** because 6 out 8 Reading and Liverpool fans surveyed this morning in my office said it was a local derby. Not their big derby by any means but they still consider it a local derby. Oh and that we also the biggest club in the South outside London.

* awaits first Forecast "joke" *

Take a deep breath, read back through the posts and try to comprehend them properly, rather than listing random clubs and expecting answers.What i have said is a local derby is a game against a club of a similar size in a similar region, where fan bases are next to each other and in many cases overlap. I used an hours drive (excluding London derbies due to traffic chaos there) as a yardstick of what constitutes local geographically. Therefore any reasonably large club whose fan bases overlap in that radius would be considered a local derby. It really isn't that difficult, is it?

I've only seen us lose at home once in almost two seasons. That was Leciester. I missed the Man U, Bristol C and Millwall games. My presence inspires the players. FACT

What did I say about the size of clubs?

Dont be a lemon of course we won't. Newbury and Basingstoke are overlapping towns which contains large sections of fans of both. They are our nearest geographical rival to the north. It might not be a derby filled with hate and history but geographically it's very much a local derby.

Forest and derby. Ipswich and Norwich. Swindon and Oxford. Luton and Watford. Off the top of my head all local derbies where the clubs are in different counties. If you don't think us and Reading is a local game then maybe you need to do a night course in geography.

Exactly Jamie. Im in the office today I'll poll Reading and Liverpool fans opinions and report back on my findings.

That's odd Man u fans and I would assume they would know which games are their derbies and which aren't, refer to it as the North West Derby. http://www.manutdtalk.com/index.php?entries/the-north-west-derby-never-changes.2291/

Apart from being in the same division, competing for the same title, being in the same region and having large fanbases in the same overlapping towns obviously.

Peterborough the same size as Forest?!! PMSL! Sorry, how many Eueopean cups and league titles have they won? Forest get crowds 3 times bigger than Peterboroughs even now when they are doing badly. As for Leicester and Coventry ever heard of Midlanda derbies?

No, a derby is a game against a reasonable sized club within a reasonable distance, an hours drive was the radius I suggested (with the caveat that big London derbies are different due to travelling difficulties) I'd imagine County fans were well up for a game against Forest, much like Boirnemouth were against us. For Forest, Derby is the bigger game because their clubs are similar size. All games within that radius are "local" IMO but due to history, size of clubs etc, some are bigger derbies than others.
