Steel City Derby Preview: How disrespected the derby is

Sheffield United v Sheffield Wednesday: Chris Holt, Joe Crann and Danny Hall with a preview of The Steel City Derby which is back after 5 years

Transcript

00:00It is tense, it is tense.

00:02I genuinely think it's the most disrespected derby in the country and obviously I'm slightly

00:06biased coming from around here but you're right, whenever you hear these conversations

00:10you know people put these lists up on social media and you see the Sheffield Derby down

00:15there and some of them are, it's ridiculous really.

00:19And I think part of it is because, I think it's not just the fact that it doesn't happen

00:25that often, it's very rarely been, I suppose a topic of national importance, do you know

00:30what I mean?

00:31There was a time there was a big cup game or a Premier League Sheffield Derby.

00:36There was one big one.

00:37Yeah.

00:38It's been a long time.

00:39How long was that?

00:40And it wasn't even me that brought it up either, but it doesn't happen in those kinds of environments

00:47so I think it does kind of get lost for everybody out of the city but I'm sure we'll talk about

00:53later what it gets like around here when the derby's happening.

00:57The day, it's scary.

01:00Some days, I mean I've seen some pretty rough things happen around the derby and not to

01:06glorify that but the fact that it is the way that it is and it becomes such a cauldron

01:11of noise and of intensity when Wednesday play unite and I do think that, like I say, I think

01:18there is so much disrespect on the name of this derby when you compare it to some of

01:23the ones that get spoken about in the UK.
