Wigan & Saints drew 16,854 for a friendly at JJB Stadium in 1999. I only ever make one argument for Wigan v Saints - team with the greatest history v the team with the second greatest history. But each to their own.

Hull FC

wigan saints didnt have the same passion as the hull derby



the atmosphere was great and wigan upset saints so the crowd were fantastic but the hull game had something else behind it. i was amazed that the game in england could produce something like that

I think it is because we work together, live down the same streets, families are often divided..The Hull Derby is a real derby.

I think in this sort of argument people will generally back their own teams derby, its the natural thing to do. Realistically there shouldnt be much between any of the games attendance wise. Saints and Wigan grounds are a similar distance apart to Hulls and Rovers with Leeds and Bradford no that far further.



Someone touched earlier on amateur crowds in Hull. Most clubs have always attracted big crowds and premier East Hull v West Hull games can easily attract crowds in excess of 3000.



Well done to Dally though on doing the tour to watch different clubs thats real passion for ya.

Yep, 2 empty trophy cabinets.

I think you'll find our trophy cabinest has the Carnegie Floodlit 9s Trophy in it :p

What did Wigan and Saints win last year?

Using what logic?

My folks talk of the Warrington Widnes derby but when they were in SL recently I thought it was flat.

Definately not a real derby in these days, if we drew them in the cup this year may be different.

The logic that a PROPER derby is 2 teams from the same city.

Not 2 cities that are near each other

thanks, it meant a lot to me to see the place that invented the game.



and the Hull derby seriously was awesome



i was jealous.

Just out of interest, whick one was it that you went to Dally?
