as for the hatred, i'm not so sure about that, they each call each other pigs and theres always trouble on derby days somewhere or other but i think they largely tolerate each other these days? obviously in the wrong place at the wrong time there will ineviatably be some conflict, but not on the scale of glasgow, or the south wales thing
I'm a Wednesday fan mate, they haven't both played a match on a Saturday at home for about 30 years, mainly because they DO hate each other with a passion, and S. Yorks police are aware of it. Tolerate each other? Your having a laugh, the derby games are now played with 12am/1pm kick offs, usually on Sundays so the fookin eejits from both sides cant get tanked up.
I know, I've been there, it can be very scary.
