Quote="ABP'"It's obviously between Wigan v Saints and Hull FC v Hull KR.
The Hull derby is good and popular, but the Wigan/Saints derby has been played at the top level for a long period of time and still serves up top crowds. Part of the Hull derby's novelty will eventually wear off with some fans after both clubs have played at the top level for a long period of time.
Only then can the derbies be compared IMO.'"
What's all this long period of time business, you obviously aren't old enough to remember when Fc and Rovers were the top two teams in the league and, I may add, when they were both in a lower league they were attracting crowds at least the size or even bigger than a large percentage of super league clubs.......... so there ! lol
old faithfull, we roam the range together
old faithfull, in any kind of weather
when the round up days are over
and the boulevarde is full of clover
youll ole faithfull pall of mine
the saints / wigan derby has the benefit of 2 clubs who have been very succesful collectively over 20 years. both also having long stints at the top level (both being in division 1/ SL for ages)
the hull derby has FC having average top level form, with its best result being the CC final win.
KR have been in division one (ie NL1) for ages and only now are building into a decent SL side
when was the last time they played a really good derby game ? the CC final in the 80s
the Hull derby can only get better as the 2 clubs get stronger.
