Sadly insular mind sets persist everywhere and social media often brings out the worst of people as they sit in their keyboard warrior lounges across the country! As you say Yorkshire has a lot to apologise for. I found the racism really shocking and very surprising as there are so many generations of Pakistani and Indian heritage people living there and who are all fans and potential players! Talk about peeing on your own chips!

Thanks to Aberfan, Reesy and RR, all of whom regularly  contribute  to cricket threads on SF, which is great for our forum.

You don’t have to like the opposition but you can respect them.  If it’s any consolation they hate everyone not just us. I was based up in cattetrick for a while they proably rubbed off on me it’s why im so chippy at times

Do you mean like Ponty ? 😉

Yorkshire see then selves as being different from other county sides tbh they are i’d guess the nost succesful in terms of most capped players and most championships won? Strong yorksire usually equals a strong englAnd. But they don’t half let you know about it

Yorkshire miners and Welsh miners have always been pretty close bonded of course , due to the commonality of their tough work down the mines for generations ; sharing “ Pit “ Villages/towns and being part of a real community. Being married to a Yorkshire woman from a mining community for some 35 years or so has led me to plenty of friendly interactions over the years as the only Welshman in the “ up north “ family! But certainly they are all proud of their county and playing to stereotype many are often pretty blunt and non wafflers ( everything I’m not 😂) . They don’t have whippet’s though 😂
