Who doesn€™t love a good derby match? Nothing gets fans more passionate and fired up than taking on their local team with bragging rights always up for grabs. This season League Two is offering up some mouth-watering derby clashes than all football fans should be looking to enjoy.

First from the North West and the close proximity of Bury and Rochdale making their rivalry very personal and with Bury€™s recent relegation and financial difficulties you feel local rivals Rochdale will be more than ready to inflict more misery on them.

Plymouth are the team to watch for derbies this season as the South Coast side have West Country derby matches with local rivals like Exeter and Torquay and the €˜Dockland Derby€™ against Portsmouth there is also a newer rivalry coming with new boys Newport Country taking on Bristol Rovers in the Severnside derby which is normally Bristol City Vs. Cardiff but really any team from Wales against Bristol is going to be a close bad blooded international derby.

Newly promoted Mansfield Town also have a local rivalry to renew in the Football League against Chesterfield a local feud which has several mining town implications which will make for a few close and fiercely contested series of matches. So League Two fans will have no trouble finding or watching a good derby next season which is a joy for all football fans.
