Avoiding answering the question re whether sheffield is the largest city in the country without a 1st class cricket ground actually answers the question in a typical Yorkshire way.

Why would Yorkshire want another ground when they've got a revamped Headingly? We are told Yorkshire "great", maybe so (no!), but it is geographically big. They should have more out grounds giving the 'fanatical' Yorkshire support chance to actually attend. Having maybe 6 (guess) outgrounds dotted about such a great county, which could easily be brought up to scratch to hoste one county championship match per season would benefit the Yorkshire membership far more than trying to maintain test match status at one ground for 5 days when sods law dictates it'll probably rain. Another question:- How many days play have you attended at Headingly against the likes of us or Gloucester (for example) in the county championship since covid?

Kelham Island, you'll have to educate me here. Educate me on how many potential cricket going folk will pop down to Kelham Island for a pre or post days play pint let alone maybe a couple during the lunch break. It may well be mentioned by some yanks but it doesn't get a mention in David Lloyds "Around the World In 80 Pints" so holds no credibility to this debate. A poor attempt of deflection on your part. 🍻

1) What have I avoided ? You stated yourself Sheffield was the largest city without a ground.

2) I think there should be at least another out ground in South Yorkshire but it is what it is.

3) Ive been once to Leeds and once to Scarborough since Covid. I’m not sure what point you are trying to make though? Ive never stated or implied I go to loads of games.

4) The Kelham Island point is relevant as there was a snide implication that only in Chesterfield could could the Yorkshire fans get a decent pint. If you are not familiar with Kelham Island I suggest you make a trip or at least research it. If you know anyone who has been, I doubt they will have a bad word to say about it.
Can you bring yourself to go to the big city of Sheffield though?

I’m getting the word ‘Rattled’ 🤣

I am getting the vibe that you cannot or do not want to answer when perfectly valid points are made against we are never in the wrong team but never mind claim your technical victory and try to enjoy watching whoever Derbyshire 2nd X! play in the T20 finals day later today lol

[whittman]

the Derbyshire seconds managed to beat Glamorgan in the T20 final by 6 runs at Wormsley

Needing 10 from the last over with 4 wickets left bowled by Aitcheson he managed to bowl 3 batsmen and bowl a waist high no ball which then became a free hit which was only hit for 1 by the last remaining big hitter Moore


that left the last 2 wickets at the bowlers end and Aitcheson duly bowled them for the victory

just to add we thrashed the Puddings in our semi final earlier by 6 wickets

Oh the irony 🤣🤣🤣

You have been crying ever since we beat you ( deservedly )
Maybe some of your second 11 can step up to the first team to replace some of the players you have who don’t appear to be good enough.

As usual a Yorkie trying to have the last word lol

Oh by the way you never commented on masoods open display of dissent to the umpire when he thought he was being given out

As I stated before rightly or wrongly the umpires decision is final

And of course your little remark that you deservedly beat us

I suppose in your Yorkie world you think that to be so lol

[sexpistol]

Good to see Yorkshire giving it to the Aussies.

How did Yorkshire not deserve to win that match?

As for Masood? Has he been pulled up for the so called dissent you mention.
Nothing to see here.

Of course you always think you have the smart and final answer

Talking to a respected umpire actually at the ground and NOT watching the stream and he was very concerned
by the action of Masood during the incident so that is a good enough interpretation of what looked like dissent for me

As the match referee did not allow our substitute to bat then I am not holding my breath as to his action to the incident

Finally in all the reports I have read about the match I have not seen one that said Yorkshire DESERVED to win the match just that it was a keenly contested match that ebbed and flowed over the 4 days and Yorkshire finally got over the line

Only in your Yorkie world do you think that

Having a Yorkie post on here is, interesting, but having one that repeats himself is nauseating, especially one that ignores some posts, you don't originate sarf east London do you. (Perhsps over your head sorry).

You and others have an in built dislike ( I won’t use the word hatred) of Yorkshire. Shows you and others to be narrow minded.
I haven’t ignored anything to my knowledge. At least I have a bit of banter without childlike nonsense.
It seems a few of you are rattled by my posts ( not sure why though) and cannot accept you lost fair and square the other day.

As for the duplicate post? I’m not quite sure how that happened so any mod can delete as it was a genuine error.

1)Starting a sentence with 'is' and concluding with "?", isn't a statement but a question. If the answer was in the affirmative then it reflected badly on the cricket loving populace of Sheffield. Surely they should be campaigning for at least one county championship game per season. I'm not overly familiar with deedah grounds but possibly Abbeydale or the likes of HSBC could be brought up to scratch for little outlay for a 4 day game if and thats if the desire was there.

2)It is what it is because the hierarchy at HQ have been given an easy ride. Surely there should be enough b.ll.cks in a county the size of Yorkshire to have stood up to them and making cricket more accessible to the vast populace.

3)In simple terms then. The point I'm making is, it ain't easy for the majority of yorkshire folk to watch their team and when they get an easy opportunity to do so albeit on 'foriegn' soil they tend to go to great lengths to tell us, as if we didn't know!!

4)No. The implication was, as stated being without much travel time you could get a beer (none cricket ground stuff) pre and post match also at lunch without difficulty which would be impossible in Sheffield. And the assertions that my knowledge of Kelham Island is limited, will cause much hilarity in the boozer later.

Bump.

Quite simply a Yorkie who never thinks he is wrong and always thinks he is right lol
