the dictionary definition of 'derby' is local rivalry. no mention of coming from the same town or city

Agreed. Liverpool v Man United is widely known as 'The North West Derby'.

No everton v liverpool , man city v utd are derbys



Fc v kr only true derby in super league no matter how you twist it , its true

I'm pretty sure Clare Balding pointed out yesterday on BBC One's coverage that Wigan V St Helens is technically only one of two derbies in the world.



The Earl of Derby lended the name officially to the Epsom Derby in Horse Racing and Wigan V St Helens in Rugby League.



Oops.

Pity it's been cack for the last twenty five years then. A game that generally decides who jumps above who in the lower ends of the table. Sorry, but it's true.

If your defention is correct explain to me why Cardiff v Swansea is also called a derby.



If your correct about HFC V HKR been the only derby in SL i can honestly say no one cares about the game apart from the supporters of those clubs. If we play Leeds its a bigger game than the Hull Derby. In terms of importance to SL the Hull derby is up there with Cas V Wakey.

Then we can officially put that one to bed and Pjhoe can now go onto the HKR forums and make himself an even bigger muppet. Sorry had to say it due to his pic.

Derby or no Derby.



The Skints have only won two of the last nine.



Oh and Skints thrashometer disappeared. It probably died in the Screwfix Stadium floods.

Bloody hell Rogues - I'd forgotten about the "Thrashometer".



It was mildly amusing for a minute, but I'm glad we have convinced them to trash it.

really made me giggle that Rogues... Thanks...

Haha fair one .

like shooting fish in a barrel
