Well as long as any teams geographical location is in East Anglia then no matter how far apart or as daft as it would seem then they are indeed derby matches, there is no denying they are no where near as significant to us than the scum they are still local rivals!!
The most bizarre for me is MK Dons so far away in comparison to many but still local.

By location it is, its not very likeable but unfortunately true! |
Is it fook, Milton Keynes is not in East Anglia, in fact it's 100 miles away. West Ham, Charlton, Watford and even Gillingham are closer! Historical rivalry and proximity are the only relevant factors. Rivalries can obviously develop over time but currently we can only consider Norwich our bitter rivals despite them being literally leagues above us. |  | | |

They aren't derbies to me. Neither are Colchester. Our derby is Suffolk vs Norfolk.
I'll never be convinced otherwise. |
I feel like if we had played Colchester and Cambridge as much as we have Nodge over the years they would be derbys. |  |

I have been at several home matches against Cambridge and Colchester over the years and whilst the song you delightfully remastered has indeed never been echoed through the terraces of Portman Road, I assure you songs that can be considered as banter between local rival supporters have indeed been been sung to both the afore mentioned teams!!
For example to Col Utd when in the championship and knowing how much they hate us there were choruses of "We don't even care about you" and "You mean fcuk all to us"on many occasion so to say there is no or never has been any local rivalry to whom we see as lesser clubs is pure ignorance!!
I appreciate some younger posters may not have been going to PR in 2006 and may be totally unaware of this happening so obv not aimed at any of you. [Post edited 11 Nov 2021 4:54]

I'm not talking about Colchester. And I've been going to Town games since long before 2006, so no need to pull that move in lieu of a decent line of argument. [Post edited 11 Nov 2021 9:00]

Here we go again.
How do you know what people would look for? Not every Town fan buys into the vNorwich thing. |
You leave games at 85 mins to beat the traffic, your opinion is invalid | |

I mentioned 2006 because that was the last time Colchester Utd were in the championship and I recalled the songs we sung to them, so whether you think it a decent argument or not is irrelevant, it proves the point that there is local rivalry between us and the lesser teams in East Anglia
What, you think 2006 was my first season watching Town?? laughable!! Try using something else to score your brownie points cos that just don't cut it!! | | | |

We songs to other teams as well. Does that make it a derby too?
MK Don being considered a rival to us is one of the most bizarre arguments I think I've seen on here, tbh. |  |

Dickie, you are missing the point, my point using MK Dons is the fact that they can be stupidly classed as East Anglia and therefore be local rivals, its utter madness!! | | | |

Its nonsense on your behalf J2 to be so blinkered , like I said its geographical location that determines what a derby is not fans personal opinion on what it should be!
Norwich are our biggest rivals not our only rivals!
We've never been bothered about Cambridge and Colchester but they have rivalry for us so I'm sure their fans would argue its a derby and they have far more in bragging rights on occasions they do beat us than we ever even think about having upon beating them, MK Dons were created then plunged into East Anglia, we may not like it but we have to accept they are part of our region!!
I don't need it explaining, I never have in my 44yrs of supporting Town, this is about having a different view on what a derby match actually is, my personal opinion on it is irrelevant to the fact!!
Also I have at no point said anything about "our current situation" because again it has nothing to do with my post, feel free to pick others up on it though, those whom have actually said or eluded to our current situation though!! |
You can't have a rivalry with someone you don't care about. |  |

In a way, MK Dons has actually proved that you're wrong. You say yourself that them being our local rivals is utter madness... which proves the point that a rivalry/derby isn't just about location. You can't just drop a team into your region and then call them your rivals, obviously. And if that is the case then rivalry can't just be about location. QED. | |

Indeed and has no right to be considered as a local team but some people do, maybe those just off the regional TV programs but we can never play them without it being mentioned that its a derby match | | | |

Go into any matchday pub in Ipswich and declare MK Dons to be our rivals and people will think you're some sort of nutter. | |
