And the Pies are playing Wire.

As fc v kr is the only true derby then it's the biggest one

Hull people really do know how to cure insomniacs. Start chirping about this so called 'only true derby'.





Two average clubs. And a 'derby' fixture which isn't big beyond it's own boundaries.

T1t

Yeah right.. The only true derby is Hull F.C. V Hull KR and next is Leeds V Hunslet.

They are our hated filthy french white flag waving surrender monkey rivals..........police at the ground will be the highest per fan/cop ratio across the whole weekend

I would argue that Leeds v Hunslet is much bigger than Hull F.C. V Hull KR, sadly we only get to play our neighbours from south of river in the biggest cup competition in Rugby League which of course is the Lazenby Cup!!!

This tedious 'only true derby' stuff is simply a lame attempt from Hull people that their clubs are somehow relevant.

What and your, is give over

hopefully salford v hudds is a good game..they normally stuff us on good friday

They are technically right. But castleford in in Wakefield met so as Wakefield is a city that's a true derby.

Leeds and hunslet must have been a huge game in the yester years, but the last time I remember hunslet playing Leeds in the top flight was at elland road in 86 or 87. And as average as the Leeds team was in those days, hunslet where still cannon fodder.

As the term is connected to Lord Derby, it can only be applied to the horse race or the Saints/Wigan game. That is the true derby. Any misappropriation by the urchins living to the east of the Pennines is regretful.

YAWN!!!!!

Widnes Warrington definitely.

Bingo

Yeah but which one? The Derby in Iowa has a population of 115. You must be referring to the one in Kansas that has a pop of 22,158 which co-incidentally is the sort of crowd you'd expect a good Derby to get.

Did I actually take the time to write this out?

Alright then, one way to settle the argument is for Saints v Wigan to be the Derby and every other local rivalry game to be called a "Matlock".

As a Bulls fan I've always thought that Halifax was our main Matlock rather than the more often quoted Matlock against Leeds. Perhaps I'll be attending the Fax Matlock next year....

This so called 'derby' between Wigan and St Helens does make me laugh.

It's little more than the plastic Mancs V the plastic Scousers.

Plastic Scousers live in Birkenhead.

So called????

In many countries the term local derby, or simply just derby means a sporting fixture between two teams from the same town,city or region, particularly in association football. In North America, "crosstown rivalry" is a more common term.

The phrase most likely originated from The Derby, a horse race in England, founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780, since at least as early as 1840 'derby' has been used as a noun in English to denote any kind of sporting contest.

Or widnes

St Helens is in Merseyside that's why they are plastic Scousers.

Wigan is in Greater Manchester that's why they are plastic Mancs.

Ah the old lets side with Maggie thatcher when the argument suits us. I have no problem with Liverpool or scoucers. But merseyside holds no loyalty for me.

How can myself and my brother be born and bred in the same place yet one be a Lancastrian and the other a Merseysider???

In the end if we are just saying it's time relative then most of RL is actually played in historical Mercia.

Long shot - can anybody recommend a pub in Chester to watch Hull KR Hull FC?

So hull derby doesn't even sell out at HKR?
