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.

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 |

I've re-read it and you're still not making sense. Let's leave it there as this is a bit like bashing one's head against a brick wall. Suffice to say that in no world is Ipswich v MK Dons a local derby, nor for the majority of fans is Cambridge. | |

I'm sure you have Herbivore I'm just sure you have but tbf to you it would make a lot more sense if you did do, you'd understand the whole point of me using MK Dons in the first place!!
But its the usual agenda for you and that's to try and belittle people if you don't agree with what they are saying no matter what the subject may be, it really isn't a good look for you but as its what you are so used to doing you couldn't stop yourself even if you wanted to!! | | | |

I imagine it's got a lot to do with whereabouts in the region you grow up/live. Outside of derby matches I've barely seen or spoke to a Norwich supporter. Don't remember any in school growing up. So very little reason to hate um. West Ham fans on the other hand.....c-units the lot of um |  | | |

I've re-read it. You misspelt "nowhere".
Your premise - that ANYTHING local is automatically a rival - is wrong. On that basis you might as well call Billericay under 10s our local rivals. | |

To me, a derby is more about tradition than necessarily geographical proximity. Norwich has all the tradition, and personally I would count West Ham too as spending the majority of my life in Essex I was surrounded by (currently) “happy hammers” |  | | |

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!! |
Any team west of the M1 is not in East Anglia... |  |

He seems to have decided that Look East are the derby police and any match between sides included in their coverage has to be considered a derby. It's nonsense. I doubt any Town or MK Dons fan considers a match between us to be a derby, because it isn't. Milton Keynes isn't geographically part of East Anglia either, in fact many don't consider Essex to be either. | |

Think it's quite a loose definition, isn't it? I'd not include Essex and quite a fair bit of Cambridgeshire in East Anglia, tbh.
But certainly not somewhere in Buckinghamshire. Quite why MK has coverage in Look East is a bit of a mystery, innit? Don't they have a 'Meh TV' programme instead? |  |

I think it dates back to the olden days when people still received TV through analogue transmitters and places like MK being not really the Midlands and not really East Anglia would likely have been able to get both and so would be included in the coverage of both regional news programmes. It being on the local news doesn't make it part of East Anglia.
Apparently the current 'official' definition of East Anglia is Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire but other areas are included and excluded in other definitions of the region. None of them include Milton Keynes though. | |

I get the feeling that some fans want more of a rivalry. Norwich are playing well above us, so that rivalry is pretty dull right now.
A rivalry is born through history, I don't mind if we start new rivalries, but due to my age and the games I've watched, Norwich will always be the main rival in my eyes...
If people want to artificially create rivalries to make football entertaining, then fine, but expect a lot of push back.
My Norwich fan friends still see us as there main rival, I really enjoy, even though Ipswich are at the end of a lot of their jokes... the rivalry is there for me still. | |

Since Cambridge will sellout their allocation at Portman Road it makes it a derby as far as they are concerned. |  |

Not answering the question, but I may say the radio commentators for Cambridge Utd have the most impressive East Anglian accents. |  | | |

They aren't derbies to me. Neither are Colchester. Our derby is Suffolk vs Norfolk.
I'll never be convinced otherwise. |
On Feb 5th 1938, in the Southern League, 23,890 watched us beat Colchester 3-2 in that non-derby. Attendance failed to reach 14000 in any other game. Of course not many 90+ year-olds are able to make it down to P.R. but one or two out there will still remember it somewhere. | |

I'm pretty sure Cambridge's rivalry is with Peterborough and used to be pretty fierce.
I had a mate who supported Peterborough and said there used to be graffiti on a wall near the station in Peterborough with the words "Cambridge Run" in massive letters. |  | | |

Rivalry is definitely key. Otherwise our main derby would be Colchester, but it isn't because we don't have a history of playing them much. The longer we stay in this league the more the rivalry with teams like Cambridge will grow. It'd take years or decades (if at all) for it to eclipse our derby with Norwich though. |  |
