Luton Town F.C.–Watford F.C. rivalry
South-eastern English football clubs Luton Town and Watford have been rivals since their respective formations in the late 19th century. The clubs are respectively from Luton, Bedfordshire, and Watford, Hertfordshire, and for this reason a match between the two teams is sometimes called a " Derby". Another name occasionally used in the press is "M1 Derby", which comes from the M1 motorway, which passes both towns. The clubs, which were both founded during the 1880s, met competitively for the first time in the 1898–99 FA Cup. Following this they played each other regularly in the Southern League and The Football League until 1936–37, when Luton's promotion separated them in league competition until 1963–64. The animosity intensified during the late 1960s and the 1970s, and reached a peak during the 1980s, when both teams played in the top-flight First Division.〔 Watford were relegated at the end of the 1987–88 season, while Luton followed four years later.
The clubs regularly played against each other in the league for six seasons during the 1990s, in the second and third tiers of English football. Since then, however, the teams have not met regularly, as Watford have played in higher divisions than Luton for 15 of the last 16 seasons. Since the 1997–98 season, at the end of which Watford won promotion, there have been only two league meetings between the two teams, both of which were played during the 2005–06 season, when both teams were in the Football League Championship, English football's second level. The most recent match, played at Watford's Vicarage Road ground on 9 April 2006, ended in a 1–1 draw. During the 2015–16 season Luton and Watford will respectively compete in the fourth-tier League Two and the Premier League.
Since 1898, there have been 118 competitive Beds–Herts Derbies. Luton hold the superior record in these matches, with 53 victories to Watford's 36; there have been 29 draws. The most decisive result in a Luton–Watford game is Luton's 5–0 victory at Kenilworth Road, their home ground, in January 1926. There have been two incidences of 4–0, both of which have been won by the away side; in September 1929, Luton beat Watford 4–0 at Vicarage Road, and in October 1997, Watford beat Luton 4–0 at Kenilworth Road.
