The A62 derby is the name of a football derby that is given to matches played between Huddersfield Town and Oldham Athletic. The two clubs are separated by roughly 15 miles and are located close to the M62 motorway crossing the Pennines in the historic counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire respectively, making it a traditional 'War of the Roses' clash. Indeed, it took Oldham until 20 April 1974 to record their first victory over Huddersfield, an emphatic 6-0 scoreline at the tenth attempt that more significantly guaranteed the Latics promotion back to the Second Division.

  • The A62 derby is the name of a football derby that is given to matches played between Huddersfield Town and Oldham Athletic. The two clubs are separated by roughly 15 miles and are located close to the M62 motorway crossing the Pennines in the historic counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire respectively, making it a traditional 'War of the Roses' clash. The first game between Huddersfield and Oldham was played in the First Division of English football during the 1920–21 season, although league meetings remained fairly rare until the 1980s. Therefore, there was little rivalry between the clubs until more recent times, with regular meetings in the decades since leading to increased significance and intensity in the fixture, particularly when both clubs spent a number of seasons vying for promotion from the third tier. The two sides have not met in a competitive fixture since 2012. Indeed, it took Oldham until 20 April 1974 to record their first victory over Huddersfield, an emphatic 6-0 scoreline at the tenth attempt that more significantly guaranteed the Latics promotion back to the Second Division. The highest ever attendance involving the two clubs was set on 9 January 1932 when 30,607 watched a 1–1 draw at Oldham's Boundary Park in a third round FA Cup tie. (en)
