York-shire!

[jaffa1]

So a great result last night and, bearing in mind that our last two away victories were at Sheffield United and Barnsley (I think), can anyone confirm exactly how good our recent record is in this vast county ?

 

[C C Csiders]

was looking at this before last night's match and it is now only 1 defeat in the last 8 games - Bradford last season.

Funny old county, Yorkshire.

Steeped in sporting tradition, they didn't have a single team in the Premier League last season and the two there at the moment are both coming back down!

I have reproduced the 2016/17 Premier teams list below. As you will see, there are two teams from Yorkshire in that league, Hull City and Middlesborough.

Historically in Yorkshire but now one is in Humberside and the other in Teeside. One of my disappointing away games, the defeat to Hull at the KC in our last Championship season !

You're right, but I'm claiming historical victory rather than political boundary defeat.

* Interruption buzzer *

Kingston-upon-Hull is in the East Riding of Yorkshire and Middlesbrough is in North Yorkshire.

Teesside and Humberside are not counties, under the ceremonial counties listing.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Not in a million years would I say that Middlesborough is in North Yorkshire (which I think is this country's biggest county).

What does this "sauce"* say for Darlington - I remember that there is a "you are entering North Yorkshire sign" (or something similar) just as you leave the town going West ............. and Darlo is further south than Middlesborough I think.

This is what Wiki says about Darlington and Middlesbrough:

Darlington is located in south Durham close to the River Tees which acts as the border between Durham and Yorkshire. Both the River Tees and River Skerne pass through the town, the River Skerne later joining the River Tees which then flows through Teesside and into the North Sea.

Middlesbrough became a county borough within the North Riding of Yorkshire in 1889. In 1968, the borough was merged with a number of others to form the County Borough of Teesside, which was absorbed in 1974 by the county of Cleveland. In 1996, Cleveland was abolished, and Middlesbrough Borough Council became a unitary authority within North Yorkshire. RGs Erimus ("We shall be" in Latin) was chosen as Middlesbrough's motto in 1830. It recalls Fuimus ("We have been") the motto of the Norman/Scottish Bruce family, who were lords of Cleveland in the Middle Ages. The town's coat of arms is an azure lion, from the arms of the Bruce family, a star, from the arms of Captain James Cook, and two ships, representing shipbuilding and maritime trade.[SUP][3]

Thanks for confirming CCC and, on the back of the Yorkshire/Teeside thread, one can tease any Hamster they know by telling them that Upton Park, and indeed Stratford, used to be in Essex.

County Durham 'Rattus'.

I know they fiddled around with re-naming parts of counties, but reverted back to ceremonial ones about 7-10 years ago and, as 'RHB' posted, about 20 years ago for Middlesbrough.

 

[5scoops]

Ask any Yorkshire person if Dull city and Middlesbrough's are in Yorkshire you get told there not .I feel poll coming on

 

[AndyT]

Be interested to know which county the people of Middlesbrough think they are in?
