So, I've been seeing loads of Geordies and Mackems claiming that Boro are irrelevant and not a derby fixture. They're idiots in short.
Middlesbrough to Newcastle 45.3 Miles
Middlesbrough to Sunderland 33.1 miles
Let's compare to other rivalries/derbies shall we
Sheffield United/Wednesday vs Leeds. 39.9 Miles (Yorkshire Derby)
Swansea vs Cardiff 44.4 Miles (Welsh Derby)
Norwich vs Ipswich 56 Miles (East Anglian Derby)
Cardiff vs Bristol City 44.6 Miles (Severnside Derby)
I'm sure there's more but I've got a headache from doing an all nighters for the wrestling last night so can't be bothered!
I just find it hilarious how they try so hard to discourage us because they claim they're to far to be a derby, but they seem to up the anti whenever they play us and those 4 rivalries above are around the same distances as ours to them!
Embarassing
