    Why "Derby"????
    Can anyone explain why thy are called a "Derby"?

    Serious question - but I am sure there will be some vaguely amusing responses.

      Because there is a Derby Street in Bolton? I was brought up there, it's in Daubhill (pron. Dobble) and we say 'Derby' not 'Darby'....

      In another words I don't know...

          Earl of Derby was topped here because of his role in the Bolton Massacre during the Civil War, 1800+ folks slaughtered, now not a lot of people know that, still the UK's Top Massacre, get in!

            So a football match between local teams is named after a horse race?

            Nah! I don't buy that!
