It would appear the Dundee clubs might have a rival for their title of the nearest local rivals. :)

Isn't there 3 grounds in Blackpool only yards apart near the airport ?
Squires Gate FC, AFC Blackpool and Wren Rovers ?

Yes gc14 and I believe Squires Gate and Wren Rovers grounds back on to each other.
In different leagues for past few years & don’t know if they’ve ever played each other.
