People can say it's just another game but the rivalry/banter between the two sets of fans means it'll never be just another game
I agree, my comments earlier were based on the initial reactions of FC fans on here when we got promoted, to me and lots of other KR fans and FC fans I know it will always be the big one. My dad always went into a mood for days if we lost but would be singing and whistling for days when we won.
Although the ultimate aim is to come as high as we can, the two results against FC are important to both sets of fans, seperate to the rest of the results of the season, the ones that say they are'nt are either lying or are such recent converts they have no idea of the history.

Hull fans are less bothered because we've tasted success in recent years. I'd quite happily take the dobbins doing the double over us for a CC or GF win.

Don't flatter yourself, so would we if it was the other way around

Or, like me, they don't come from Hull, don't live in Hull, and don't have any Rovers fans for friends/colleagues.
I started following Hull in 1985. For most of the time I've been a fan, Rovers have been an irrelevance. I just can't get any more worked up about the Derbies than any other SL game. For me, the history is just that - history.
Sorry if you find that hard to accept.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

Not really, I know a few recent converts to the cause who are not as 'worked up' as us locals, clearly there is a gene missing with you who were not born into it
