These two clubs are historical rivals. There were few bigger matches played during the 80’s. Big rivals from the 70’s through to the early 90’s. Both big prominent clubs.
Yet there seems to be a reluctance to give this fixture any prominence. They’ve played only once a year for nearly a decade now, and hardly ever play at night. Their match-up in a couple of weeks will be their 7th meeting in a row played during the daytime. It’s one of the more weirdly fixtured games every year.
