Forest Green and Tamworth have become something of a hotbed for us. Particularly FGR, there's obvious reasons for those two other than we have been in similar league form in recent seasons.

Incidentally in some countries your rivals are anywhere in the country and it goes more on political stance etc. I find that very bizarre. There's nothing like a good local derby. Droylsden class us as a local derby but I wouldnt say the same for them.

Enfield was a good one in the early-mid 80's with
Trophy Finals , semis(revenge) etc & both teams at the top end of the league mostly &
both doing well in the FA cup at that time too.
