Well apart from only being separated by Billinge Hill, both team have had massive success over the years. Their contrasting styles always mean a great game with only few disappointments over the years. Often form doesn't count because both sets of players also get a buzz out of playing each other. Memoriesw always come flooding back of great tussles between great players. Boston v Vollenoven, Murphy versus Sullivan, Farrell v Sculthorpe.

referring to his 'trips down the bookies' are we?

seriously though, he is a w@*k@r.

i'm already nervous for the game, always am well in advance. it has something no other regular league match could for me. i hope we don't get stuffed again, being on the opposite side of the railway station waiting for the train back to preston with a few hundred drunken kids in stains shirts all crowing ain't the best experience I've ever had.

:lol: very clever

But i'd go for league positions don't count after the game, bragging rights and heads held high mean a lot.

I, Having been brought up in Glasgow where we only saw a wee bit of Rugby League on telly remember the 91 final and i got to realising through the 90's Wigan-Sthns was the game many people would only watch,maybe Wigan-Widnes at the time too. But latterly Wigan-Sthns (the rangers-cel**c perhaps of rugby leage) and it still is and many neutrals would tell you so from outside of the Rugby Lge catchment area.. Leeds/Bradford or Hull/Hull KR simply dosent have the Flair the Wigan/Saints game has.

Besta luck on the course
