The old one was long out of date, been scanning through to see why exactly it was removed and the justification given was that the article is "about the match, not who has a bigger trophy cabinet". Fair enough, but if the clubs had been divisions apart for most of their history, would the match be significant? Colchester's a lot closer to Ipswich than Norwich is for example, so the graph helps explain to an extent why Norwich is seen as their main rival... There's a snippet in the text, but is it worth adding this back in to justify it or leave as is? - Cheers,

Most sources award the Pride of Anglia title to the winner of the
East Anglian derby, only when this derby doesn't occur are league positions used, an in that case, it's obvious what team is better anyway. Yes Colchester won it once, but it's definitely a Norwich/Ipswich thing.

Comment At first glance I agreed with Dweller's analogy above. However, I am struggling to find much information online, which leads me to the quesiton of whether the "Pride of Anglia" is really a thing beyond the Norwich/Ipswich rivalry.
Looking at the Pride of Anglia article, the first two references are about the rivalry, and the other two are about Colchester's performance in 2007. Does the TV station award the trophy every year? Otherwise, with the hindsight of it being eight years down the track, it is looking like a tounge-in-cheek event poking fun at the lack of success that Norwich and Ipswich had that particular year.
So upon further consderation the analogy appears weak, because while there is no doubt that the
Six Nations Championship is real, I have my doubts about competetion between all clubs in the region for the title of "Pride of Anglia" being an independently notable subject. Having said that, it would be great if
Dweller,
The Rambling Man or any other locals were able to provide more information on the topic to make that article viable. Without more details though, it may be more appropriate to have a short section at the end of the derby's article along the lines of "The winner of the derby claims the title "Pride of Anglia". However in 2007 both teams were ordinary, so a TV station bestowed the title upon Colchester that year."

A few more sources that demonstrate this title isn't just about Norwich/Ipswich derby matches:
Hello, the map on this article is incorrect - Norwich is south of Ipswich and closer to the coast. The respective locations should be switched. Cheers — Preceding

The chart is a waste of time and overhead on keeping it aligned with reality. The bottom line is that the stats are fairly even and until such a time that they're not, there's little point in graphically illustrating a near-tie. Suggest we lose the pie chart and stick with just prose updates.
