Aren't Leicester bigger rivals with Derby than Coventry?
You're right though, a fair few big derby games in the division.

Yeah not sure, I thought Forest were bigger rivals with Derby but their main rival is obviously County

My understanding is that there isn't a great deal of rivalry between Forest and County. Seems that Forest like to patronise County a bit but not the hatred that Forest seem to hold for Derby.
Mind you, that could probably change if they played each other a bit more regularly.
Actually, this leads to something I've been thinking of lately - is Bristol the only city in England with two (or more) clubs that has never had a top flight derby?

I don't think that the old First Division ever saw a Bradford Park Avenue vs Bradford City derby ?

Swansea - Cardiff could still be knocking about, although I doubt neither of them won't go up.
oh dear... im shaking in my boots !I haven't got the details to hand but there were at least four City v Avenue top-flight derby games.
Actually this whole 'rivalry' thing is quite interesting. There were howls of protest on here every time someone dared to say that Southampton were our rivals (Which was a stupid position to adopt because they WERE), and I think this is due to the concept that some people think there's an unwritten law that says you can only have ONE rival.
Looking forward to games against both our rivals next season (Southampton and Palace) in the same way that Man U fans look forward to games against their two rivals (Man City and Liverpool)

Very poor grammar.

I was thinking more of towns and cities that had two clubs who play/played league football.
Otherwise you could make that argument for just about every town and city in the country!

Maybe the welsh derby as well if Cardiff don't go up automatically.
