Just a term for sky to market us as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl At Risk Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Neither. Just the derby will do. If you're a fan of either us of them, then there is no mistaking what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Wylde II Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 So it was called the Sheffield derby for over 100 years until Sky turn up and give it a name for the children. So tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been since 1860, you can't ballot that out of existance. Wednesday v United is the Steel City derby. I don't know you tell me ? The Wednesday had been playing Hallam on a regular basis from the 1820's at Cricket of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southportdc Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 21 hours ago, Mr. Tom said: I’m proud of our heritage but it’s just that. ‘Steel City’ has a certain twang to it, sure, but it always makes me feel like nobody has bothered to look twice at Sheffield for the last 50yrs. Which is sort of true. They don’t call Man U vs City ‘the Cotton Derby’, it’d sound daft in 2019. I’d rather we were known as the Green City these days if anything, but Steel City somehow suggests we’ve nothing else going for us IMO. Sure others will disagree, and fair enough - that industry had all but gone years ago when I was born, so it’s always felt like a throwback to me. Can of course understand why others will always feel more personally attached to it. Tbf the 'Cotton Derby' sounds pathetic. Well soft. Steel is shiny and hard and stabby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
