Loud Ian - if you're doing ceremonial counties you need to include Middlesbrough, which is in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

I stand corrected - although I don't think many on here would really count Boro' as a Yorkshire team.

[bobbybottler]

Depends whether or not it fukcs your thread up really.

Indeedy

So, if you include Boro, it's one defeat in 13 since Rotherham '05 (2-1 loss in Feb '07). I still don't see them as a Yorkshire team though

[Row Z Royal]

Thought 'boro was in Cleveland.




Is that even a county?

[T.R.O.L.I.]

'greed, RZR.

Not any more - abolished well over 10 yeras ago when Unitary Authorities came in.

The Tees is the historic Yorkshire/County Durham border, so Boro has traditionally been Yorkshire.

[Compo's Hat]

That Rotherham game (goal right at the very death) ruined my birthday and Yorkshire has been paying for it ever since!!!

[Royalee]

I thought Middlesbrough was a country in its own right - they don't speak English up there.

[Barry the bird boggler]

This "record" holds good for teams in South, East or West Yorkshire.

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

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

Just a thought...

[SteveRoyal]

Optimism... Get out!

[Hozza]

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

[Shaka]

We lost to Middlesbrough 2-1 in our first ever Premiership season.

[handbags_harris]

Middlesbrough doesn't count. It was in Cleveland when I was born which is enough for me to not consider it Yorkshire

[Comfortably Numb]

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

yes, east.
