I've never understood why Saints and Wigan, Bradford and Leeds claim to be derby fixtures, the clue is the title of the fixture.
Anyway, fantasic atmosphere yesterday... 16,000 is a brilliant crowd for a friendly.

i would also like to make a vague and unprovable statement in support of some clubs and a sly dig at others. It is important others disagree on here for some reason
though I would like to ask what part of the name 'local derby' indicates it needs to be in the same City? surely just, well, local should do?

hearing "old faithfull" being sung by everyone in the pub beforehand
then hearing the bay at one end of rovers fans singing "stayin up"
and after the game everyone walked from the ground side by side
being sat next to a crazy FC fan going off at paul cooke
watching paul cooke kick a goal from the sideline after the crowd were giving him heaqs and him staring down our whole bay full of FC fans when he got the kick
BRILLIANT

Just for the record... Cookie's first game for Rovers was against Huddersfield 
However, his 2nd game was against Hull (at Cardiff) |

It's obviously between Wigan v Saints and Hull FC v Hull KR.
The Hull derby is good and popular, but the Wigan/Saints derby has been played at the top level for a long period of time and still serves up top crowds. Part of the Hull derby's novelty will eventually wear off with some fans after both clubs have played at the top level for a long period of time.
Only then can the derbies be compared IMO.

Have to agree...
[size=20(although perhaps because we have a chance of beating Leeds, unlike Wakefield)

Isn't the SL attendance record still held by Wigan v Saints?
Taking nothing away from that crowd for a friendly - absolutely terrific attendance, well done to both clubs. |

Think it is, due to segragation and unreserved tickets, they can never get the full capcity at the KC against Rovers, think at least 2 of the derbies at the KC have sold, the first sold out it days, think it could have been over 30K if the ground was big enough.
Whats the point in this thread anyway as you have said as RL fans we should be pleased with this crowd, I would love every game in RL to be sold out, the more people that watch out great game the better. |
