In many countries the term local derby, or simply just derby, means a sporting fixture between two local rivals.

The term is sometimes also misused to describe major rivalries in which both clubs have substantial regional or national followings.

The first Para is the Hull derby as both team are local due to been from the same city.

Second para is saints / wigan derby. (IE the terminology is misused as your followings are regional and not split within a city (locality))

JJB Stadium to KR is 8 miles. That is local. HTH.

If we played the derby in billinge would that make you happier??

We should copy Saints expansive style and then paste them.

Castleford v Wakefield

In all honesty who really cares ? You don't get an extra award for having the biggest derby. In short it will be a great weekend for RL, both Wigan / Saints and Hull / Rovers will pull in over 20,000+ crowds. A wigan or saints fans will say they have the bigger one same with Hull / Rovers, the main thing is that we will all expierence a good game that means alot to you over the next two days. So I couldn't care less whether people say ours or Wigans derby is bigger because come kick off tomorrow I won't give a .

So ours is the only derby as it's played under the earl of derby's "land"

Has to be Saints v Warrington atm ..... Will go back to Saints v Wigan as soon as the games start getting close again!

But Wigan v Saints is still bigger.
