I once looked into this i.e. the 2 tracks nearest to each other. The answer, unless someone can prove otherwise, was West Ham and Hackney who were only 3 miles apart. So that could be said to be the biggest derby. Certainly Wolves v Cradley had a ferocity to it that perhaps wasn't matched elsewhere, and I have seen fighting at those matches.

I had to spend a night in Old Hill nick for an altercation I had with a Cradley woman who was built like a sumo wrestler.She started mouthing off,and I said shut the f..k up stupid c.. Anyway then it all kicked off,with about six Wolves fans and around 20 spoons. The police came,and the Cradley lot said I started the scuffle,and consequently I was marched out of Dudley Wood . I pleaded my inocence but still had to spend a night in the cell to calm down. .Yes,at the time I was angry,but looking back those were the days to be treasured . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit....And you can guarantee if there was any trouble it always came at the end of an heat involving Ivor Brown. Yes he was definitely enemy Number 1.
