I bet he drinks halves of Coors light
He was wrong (as is drinking Coors light)
That isn’t a ‘riverside’ derby. It refers to an area called ‘revier’ which does not mean river.
Idiot (not you...the stupid question gaffer)

I remember some bloke on SKY excitedly refer to Borussia Dortmund v Borussia Moenchengladbach as the Borussia derby.
Schalke are the closest club to Dortmund and their biggest rivals . Dusseldorf is closer than Moenchengladbach. It isn’t their derby. The commentator said that because they shared a common name. A bit like saying Bristol Rovers v Blackburn Rovers is the Rovers derby.
Maybe the commentator knew they are both clubs from Prussia. Hence their names.
Doesn’t make it the Borussia derby though. Derbies are local rivals not clubs further away.In any case they aren’t from Prussia, it ceased to exist in 1947, They are from Rhine-Westphalia.
That would be difficult as Moenchengladbach’s nickname is The Borussens. Do they play themselves?
Moenchengladbach’s big rivals are Cologne. Dortmund’s are Schalke.
I didn’t just make it up ffs.

I know you didn’t. However Borussens is Moenchengladbach’s nickname. Neither of them consider the other their biggest rivals. When I worked in shipping in Hull was offered a job in the region at a place called Wuppertal. The German bloke looked at me wonderingly when I said it would be a bit quiet for me after Hull. Found out why he looked at me as if I was a bit daft when I went there and found myself in a city of about 340,000 people. Wuppertal was a bit like Hull City, never done much for a city of that size, Though they got promoted to the Bundesliga the season after I was there for the first time. Think they only spent 3 seasons there before slipping back down again.
The bloke who offered me the job was a Moenchengladbach fan. Should have told him he was a banwagon jumping glory hunter looking back.
I refuse to believe the answer is anything other than Nottingham Forest vs Notts County.
Just look at where the ****ing stadiums are!

Riverside Derby is it Fulham vs Chelsea..considering CC is on the river and SB has a bridge in the name.
As an aside, are these the two closest grounds in London?

No really connected, but the closest ground to the Mersey is Stockport County’s Edgeley Park.
Dundee and Dundee United are across the street from each other. Kicking the ball over the wall usually lands on the other pitch. Good job McKechnie never went north of Adrian's Wall.
