| Quote: Saint Simon "what i love about our derby is that you can have a laugh with the wigan fans before and after the match. We are very competative and wind each other up, but there is no real hatred, just a great day out'"
Apart from Wigan, I've got more friends at St Helens than any other club. Pre-match, they are generally a good bunch and for a derby, everybody is generally well behaved and in good spirits.
Still, I hate them and everything their club stands for.

| 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))

Noun
2. local derby a sporting event between teams from the same area [after the Earl of Derby, who founded the race in 1780]
'"
The same 'area'.
The area isn't just a County, city or village. It's whatever two places/teams are deemed close enough to be held as a 'derby'.

| 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"
