...at least there will be 3 'local' derbies to enjoy next season - Exeter, Yeovil and Bristol Rovers - 4 if you include Portsmouth. A couple of good days out and bouncing atmospheres to look forward to at HP.

I'd much rather be playing Fleetwood, Bradford and Donnie.

10x easier to create an atmosphere at Exeter than it is at Yeovil, can't say I'm as excited about going back there as others seem to be.

Can't believe that people are excited at the prospect of playing Yeovil next season. Literally a small town in Somerset who, until fairly recently, were a non-league club. So let's make it even more exciting by pretending it's a derby, which it isn't.

Great though our fans are in so many ways, this lack of aspiration and near-glorification of mediocrity is poor. We have to believe that we should be doing better.

Bristol Rovers is pushing this "local" derby thing. They are actually closer to AFC Wimbledon than Home Park.

Lundan, it's all relative. When you are from Plymouth, Bristol is local never mind where other places are in relation to Bristol.

The sad part for an older fan is that people can get excited about fixtures against Yeovil and Exeter. I used to get a bit excited about games against Pompey, Southampton, Man City, Wolves, even Bristol City but good grief, Exeter and Yeovil for years were 2 or 3 divisions below us or occasionally 1 or 2.
