Introducing You To The Remarkable North West Derby

Tagged the North West Derby because both cities, Manchester and Liverpool are located exactly 35 miles (56km) apart in the North Western region of England; the rivalry between these cities and teams dates back to the 18th century. Political tension, historic industrial and economic rivalry, and the need to be the superior city are both off-field rivalries that have contributed to the fiery on-field rivalry between both these teams.

Manchester United Football Club

Manchester United was formed in 1878 as the Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Football Club. The club played its first competitive match as a professional club side in the 1886 Football Association Challenge Cup (FA Cup). The match versus the Fleetwood Rangers ended in a two all draw, but Newton Heath LYR got disqualified in that first round.

The Manchester United Culture

When in the city of Manchester, culturally speaking, certain things must be done, to get the most out of the experience of visiting this historic city.

  • Go Late Night Bowling

The Dog Bowl also doubles as a restaurant, and you can get a beer and enjoy a game of bowling with friends late into the night.

  • Enjoy A Beer In The Smallest Bar In Europe

Europe's smallest bar is situated here in Manchester. The circus tavern makes up for what it cannot give in size by providing a very engaging atmosphere.

To Wrap It Up

Both these teams are recognised world wide, and individually, they have millions of dedicated fans worldwide.

The rivalry extends way beyond the players on the pitch, and the coaches on the sidelines; the fans also play a big part of keeping the rivalry fire burning.

Even with the efforts of the football association, and the clubs to curb violence by fans, the North West Derby has seen its own share of violence. But in recent years, despite fans still holding resentments towards themselves, the physical violence has reduced. However, this hasn't stopped the boo boys.

The rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United promises to offer up a top quality match up as always.
