AdelaideGreen":3qc7qquv said:So Cheltenham and Portsmouth are "derby" matches.
Neither is within 150 miles (or 250 kilometres) from the Ocean city.
The actual distances are 158 miles/254 kilometres to Cheltenham and 172 miles (or 277 kilometres) to the toilet mouths.
We may be forced by geography to see these as our closest opposition (nothing new I guess), but will this be anything special to them?
The rivalry with Pompous I get, as there are historical reasons, but Cheltenham (pass the cucumber sandwiches if you please)?
I haven’t seen anyone suggest that Cheltenham is a derby. They may be in the same region but like you say, hardly close by any stretch of the imagination.
