Any help would be appreciated

Well apart from only being separated by Billinge Hill, both team have had massive success over the years. Their contrasting styles always mean a great game with only few disappointments over the years. Often form doesn't count because both sets of players also get a buzz out of playing each other. Memoriesw always come flooding back of great tussles between great players. Boston v Vollenoven, Murphy versus Sullivan, Farrell v Sculthorpe.

referring to his 'trips down the bookies' are we?

seriously though, he is a w@*k@r.

i'm already nervous for the game, always am well in advance. it has something no other regular league match could for me. i hope we don't get stuffed again, being on the opposite side of the railway station waiting for the train back to preston with a few hundred drunken kids in stains shirts all crowing ain't the best experience I've ever had.

very clever

But i'd go for league positions don't count after the game, bragging rights and heads held high mean a lot.

How about, it unites, and divides, friends and families.

I, Having been brought up in Glasgow where we only saw a wee bit of Rugby League on telly remember the 91 final and i got to realising through the 90's Wigan-Sthns was the game many people would only watch,maybe Wigan-Widnes at the time too. But latterly Wigan-Sthns (the rangers-cel**c perhaps of rugby leage) and it still is and many neutrals would tell you so from outside of the Rugby Lge catchment area.. Leeds/Bradford or Hull/Hull KR simply dosent have the Flair the Wigan/Saints game has.

Besta luck on the course
