Is Boro a derby?

[The Hesk]

Absolutely not for me just another game

 

[YES WE GYAN]

Nah. Some rivalry but not a derby.

 

[DBStar]

Derby all day for me. Can't wait for the other derby next week against Plymouth too!

 

[wigwams]

A derby, not THE derby.

In a nutshell

 

[Snaggles01]

A derby, not THE derby.

Of course it's not THE Derby but I think it is

 

[The Butcher]

A derby, not THE derby.

In a nutshell

I know but it's still local teams playing each other. In league one it was Hull at one point

This

I know that. It's still a Derby local team.

30 miles away local

It's slightly more of a rivalry than most other games we play (as is Leeds though imo), but I can't in all honesty call it a derby.

We've had so many players cross that divide with ease that I've often wanted them to do well.

100% to them it’s a derby, might be to some of ours as well for me personally and I’d argue the majority, No.

All week leading up to any Mags game that’s all that gets talked about, leading up to this game at the weekend there’s nothing as usual because the majority couldn’t give a shite about them.

I know hence why it’s a derby. But there’s only one Sunderland fans give a shit about. Like really give a shit about

 

[marco popas]

Sick of this shit every time we play them. I don’t see any is “Newcastle a derby” threads when we play the Saudis.

The fact people have to ask simply means it isn’t.

Have you been to Boro away? It's 100% different to when we play say Leicester away. It is a derby game, not on the same level as Newcastle but deffo a derby

 

[Escape Velocity]

It’s a rivalry.

 

[PtangYang kiperbang]

Is this a new thread?

 

[Arfa Sleep]

What are your thoughts @seahamstar

 

[parsonjohn1985]

Not for me.

Everyone can have their personal experience but I'm not nervous about Sunday. I want to win and that's it. Against Newcastle I can often barely even watch

 

[Rivet Catcher]

No no and thrice no

 

[Herberthall]

Aye sort of...

 

[0verlord44]

Everybody will see it different

Is it the first fixture I look for? Na. Even Leeds is before it for me

Always feels a bit like playing Carlisle
