Comfortably Numb
Hozza We've had this before, isn't Middlesbrough technically within Yorkshire.


yes, east.


But if we're going to get pernickety about this it was actually in the North Riding of Yorkshire, before becoming the county town of the County Borough of Teesside which was the absorbed into Cleveland in 74. Cleveland was then abolished in the mid-90's, and Middlesbrough became a unitary authority in it's own right. It is within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.

Yorkshire? Nah, it doesn't suit my point.

If unitary authorities are somehow consided differently, then York isn't in Yorkshire either......

Unitary authorities can feck right off for this sort of purpose IMO.

handbags_harris Jumping beyond the FA Cup match at the weekend, we have Sheffield United on Tuesday. The last time Reading lost in Yorkshire was:

http://www.royals.org/matdoc/150305.html

That is a run of eleven games without defeat, and we currently have seven wins on the spin.

Just a thought...


Donny coming up to! Would be a good time with our position in the league to extend this run.
