How can Rovers not be deemed a local rival when they're only 10 miles down the road?
I think you'll find all the others you mentioned are farther away!

Course it is, when you’re from the South Ribble to a lot of us, it’s Rovers whose the biggest game and for them to say they dont know the history.
North End v Rovers used to play each other Boxing Day and New Years Day, it was classed has the rivalry back in the day.

Geographically they are closer to us whether your in Preston or South Ribble.
It's a mere 7 mile away!
Being brought up in South Ribble, the stick I got from Rovers fans in the past brings it home to me, just how much of a rival club they are!

Coming from Higher Walton, when I was a kid it was mainly the younger ones who followed North End but there was a few old Rovers fans.
Lucky enough I moved down South in 85 so didn’t take much stick. I’d say that most of my mates aged 60 plus class Rovers the big one.

I was born in Deepdale and my formative years were spent in Fulwood from Aged 8 to 21 BUT I still see it as a big game….

At the end of the day the two Towns are 10 miles apart..

The thing that really grated with me, was how many people from Preston started supporting Blackburn during their successful years.

It used to wind me up reading the football reports in the tabloids on a Sunday, when at the bottom of the Rovers reports you would have fan quotes and it would be John from Cottam and Julie from Fulwood…. Made my blood boil.

Agree. Although the Lashers for me is the main one.
