East Midlands Derby

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The East Midlands derby is a sobriquet used to describe football matches held between Derby County and Nottingham Forest. It was first held on 1 October 1892 at the Racecourse Ground in the Football League Division One, and saw Nottingham Forest win 3-2. The most recent meeting between the two was a Football League Championship match at City Ground, Nottingham on 30 September 2012, which finished in a 1-0 Derby County win. Although the clubs are rivals due to their geographical proximity, the rivalry grew even more intense towards the late 1970s when Brian Clough was appointed Forest manager, much to the dismay of the Derby support. According to a survey on football rivalries it is the 11th fiercest rivalry in English football, with 9 out of 10 fans from both clubs pointing to the other as their fiercest rival. The fixture will return in the 2012-13 Football League Championship season after Derby finished 12th and Forest narrowly avoided the drop after finishing 19th in the 2011-12 campaign.
