[edit] Bolton Wanderers & Manchester United
I've added the former to the paragraph relating to Manchester United, though am not sure that this is really necessary. I can't see why mentions of any other clubs is relevant to the history of the East Lancashire Derby. Anyone else have an opinion on this? Theelf29 (talk) 23:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- Manchester United were considered as rivals in the mid 1990s but not as much now - not sure it is relevant. There are sources that claim the East Lancashire derby is against Bolton so maybe that should be mentioned. --Snigbrook (talk) 17:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'd agree with you, Snigbrook. Which sources suggest a Blackburn-Bolton ELD? These would certainly be relevant - maybe we could include this info in a paragraph in the article? What do you think? Theelf29 (talk) 19:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure now - when looking for references (referring to the ELD - without adding any team names to the search) I found two - but one is not a reliable source (it's on a newspaper site, but in a comment to an article, not part of the article itself) and I am now unable to find the second. There are sources that suggest it is a Lancashire derby (e.g. BBC News and Yahoo articles) but not East Lancashire derby. --Snigbrook (talk) 21:09, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Bolton is in Greater Manchester therefore can not be considered an East Lancashire match. (Not Registered) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.232.144 (talk) 00:10, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
