I know this a contentious topic across the fanbase. With some seeing Woking as rivals whilst others see it being Luton etc.

Personally for me it’s Luton, Cambridge and Barnet. All fairly local and had some decent matches in last 5/10 years.

Luton is a certain rivalry. 15 miles away. Played each other numerous times in past 15 years. And the closest geographically we will ever get to a local derby unless Welwyn, Hertford and Hitchin miraculously rise or we fall.

I’m curious as to those who don’t view Luton as a rivalry. Why not?

Watford - Luton is a definite rivalry however they've only played each other 5 times competitively in 25 years.

Rivalry’s imo make football. Increased emotions, animosity etc. whilst we don’t have the history of Watford Luton. It’s still close game geographically which imo makes it a local derby/rivalry.
