28- 20 to the robins

I agree..should be a great build up and hopefully a great match.

FC 24 KR 16

Usually they are fairly close affairs , the two recent big wins were by the team that entered the match as the underdogs.

should and hopefully will be a good open game, as has been said form goes out of the window on these and will be whoever plays better on the day, but fc are a bit low on confidence at the mo so i will go with a rovers win by ten

Maybe so but I think Rovers fans do place more importance on and thats maybe due to being out of the top flight for a long time?

Either way I would say both teams are playing well within certain aspects of their game and I reckon it will be a close nervy affair.

If Vella and Briscoe are fit i can see us winning by 10 points.

Yeah, forget about previous results between the two sides. On derby day you throw the form book out of the window, its simply too close to call.

I would never predict a Saints Vs Wigan fixture for the same reasons. Perhaps Leeds and Bradford in the past, but we all know thats only an airport derby!

Nothing whatsover to do with that at all, I still felt the hurt when we got beat in the friendlies at the KC, when I KNEW we were going to cop a beating. Most of us who can go back a few years new how important a derby win was for both side to the point where we would fill Boulevard and Craven Park on Christmas day to watch the games.

I think the fans of either side who are ambivalent towards derbies are probably the ones who are recent fans who only knew the two clubs in different divisions and have had no personal history of meaningful meetings between us.

Can't see beyond a Rovers win at the moment



But as has been said, it's a derby and anything could happen. I mean, even Crocker could turn up

Clints got him tied up in his attic

I think he'd prefer his kinks to be kept private tbh
