This is exactly right. Saints is the biggest derby and means much more (the two biggest clubs in English rugby league history) but I have no respect for the way a large number of warrington (not even the biggest club in Cheshire) fans conduct themselves.

Derby, only 1 real true derby,the other matches are just teams who are a few miles off each other as Eddie rightly said last night hull fc/rovers the real derby,both sides in the same city,one west, one east, all merging on the night to see there team win, a city with true passion and rivalry, wigan yeah you may get a slighty larger audience but we are the derby,no mistaking that 1 im afraid.

The two teams in a derby match dont have to be from the same town/city. A derby match is defined as a match between two teams from the same town/city/region. Derby matches are usually intensified when the two teams involved are both challenging closely for the same trophies.

But what you're saying, only really matters to Wigan-hating Wiggsy, and the Hull fans themselves.

Dont mean a thing over this side of the Pennines!

Ours is the biggest Derby - End of!

Just as yours is to you......Leeds / Bulls to them.......Wakey / Cas to them......Wire / ermmmm???

Well, you see what i mean anyway.

Ours is a United/Liverpool style derby. To continue with the football comparison, yours is more akin to a Bristol City/Rovers derby. One city, but no where near as relevant a derby in the grand scheme of things.
