    ot - Lancashireland go down, again!!

    Now then messrs Alto & Alfie, this is a tight finish to the county crikkit season isn't it.
    Either of our teams could go down this season and its going to be an interesting finish.

    I must admit I agree with the idea of promotion & relegation at all times, because it keeps the interest going to the last few games.

    And by the way, are there any fans on here who still don't like the idea of end of season 'play offs' happening, rather than the traditional teams up and teams down thing.

    Lancs batting has let them down Acido, I think you Yarkies would be favourites to stay up.

    Yes I'd like the old system instead of the playoffs, but its a money business thing now and it seems everything comes second to the £ note

    still can't understand why there are two divisions in cricket.. Strange really It was better when it was one league and you got to play every team..

    Hey you two sneaky old Burnsley Fc gits , calm down eh!. Theres nothing to panic about here, and theres nothing to even see here of course now that Lancyshireland have gone down yet again lol.

    Seriously though Alfredo, I think the two division thing is a good idea and it keeps a league season going. I love my Yorkshire of course I do, but we were terrible in those former days of it being One Division etc!.

    You need to be punished for not playing well enough to compete.

    That's why there are 4 league tables in Football and not one enormous one.

    Obviously Lancashire recruited badly--which is far better than Burnley FC who didn't recruit much at all.

    Don't tell me its the same Board???

    Yep, thats more or less what I was getting at (even if I didnt make that clear what I was trying to say lol).
    The competitive edge of wanting to improve each season has to be there doesnt it, whether thats aiming for promotion or aiming to avoid relegation etc.

    TBF to Lanky we were the orchestrators of our own downfall.. Finishing joint bottom with Notts ,but a point deduction against Yawkshire for slow play cost us dearly.. Now phook of back to the dark side Acido ..

    No Alf I will NOT do that... but tahh for the advice anyway old man.
    I cant believe that Lancs went down at the end of the day because Notts had 1 more win, so thats their version of goal difference eh is it!.
