Ooooh. A new Lanky in addition to our new Yorkshire fan. It's moments like these when I can't help but think there is a beautiful order in the universe. Everything's coming up roses! I'm not sorry.

Ahh the faux north county fans are increasing. Martin will certainly not approve but it is always good fun to have new ppl on here so welcome all.

The only things even remotely interesting about me are that I was born & raised in Florida and am both a chef and a Chemical Engineer. I love (American) College Football about as much as cricket. My degree is from a large Southern institution of higher learning so if any of you NFLniks would like opinions on future NFL players I can offer them with much more fluency than a truly informed opinion on something like Yorkshire, whose fans, incidentally, remind me of fans of THE Ohio State University (gag). If that's not interesting then I dunno what is. I only just around to looking at this thread hence the Oh so prompt response

According to BBC Newcastle s finest Martin Emerson, Durham and in essence Newcastle and Sunderland region is the real north and hence Durham is the only northern County He terms Yorkie as faux north county as he doesn't think they are north enough to be called a northern County And the same essentially goes for Lancashire as well

*West country view*
Northampton are definitely a northern county, it's in the the name and everything.

I always thought Lancashire is a North-West county and Yorkshire is a North-East county and not faux north counties. Even the current system as well as the historic counties reflect that. I do hold Martin Emmerson in high regard, good commentator.

Hello to all,
Came to this forum through the Cricinfo blog, posting here under a different name.
Supported Kent all my life, although currently living in Sussex so see more of my adopted county these days. Have developed an interest in USA cricket for no reason at all.
Also a Hammer, and lover of AFL from my years living in Melbourne.

Hi I'm Scrumpy Geoff and you'd never guess but I'm a Somerset fanatic. I'm also a miserable old git who drinks far too much and is only here to annoy Balladeer and because the Cricinfo blog has gone to pot. Think I'll do the same.

Hi Geoff! Good to see you here (I think?). Hopps says it should be back next week, however it honestly doesn't sound too hopeful for next year.
