The <entity_0> (<entity_3>: Derby van het Noorden) is a common reference to the match between the <entity_3> football clubs <entity_2> and <entity_1>. Meanwhile, <entity_1> would not play in the Eredivisie until 1990, and also Cambuur Leeuwarden did not compete on the first tier of <entity_3> football in the 1980s. Being seen as the representative of top national football in the north of the <entity_3>, the media referred to <entity_2> as the Pride of the North. Although <entity_2> won promotion back to the top tier that year, the 1999-2000 season was a testimony of a complete reversal of positions in northern <entity_3> football since the 1950s. Van der Velde constructed an image of <entity_1> as a 'family club' that distinguished itself in <entity_3> football by a welcoming atmosphere and absence of crowd trouble. In the early 21st century, the mainstream <entity_3> media referred to <entity_1> as "everybody's second favorite team": a reference to the club's new nationwide appeal as a result of its Frisian and 'family-friendly' image, combined with great sportive results at the beginning of the century. Simultaneously, <entity_1> began to brand itself as the Pride of the North, which until then solely had been a reference to <entity_2>. This alternative estimation of the image of <entity_1> was popular among the small core of fanatic supporters of several <entity_3> clubs, but evidently had very little back-up in the mainstream media. The contrasting images of <entity_1> and <entity_2> began to wane as the first decade of the 21st century progressed. In their new stadium, <entity_2> regained some of its former status as an occasional challenger of the national top teams, and began to close the gap with <entity_1>. sc Heerenveen has won the <entity_0> a total of 27 times, whereas <entity_2> has won it on 18 occasions. However, since <entity_2> regained some of its former strength after moving to the Euroborg Stadium in 2006, Heerenveen has still won most of the <entity_4> matches. Both sc Heerenveen and <entity_2> celebrated the opening of their current stadium with a 2-0 <entity_4> victory.
