EFL fixtures Thursday

Now lets see how many of our games are moved for TV or police.

Will boxing day stay at 3pm?

Not bad that I reckon. Some tough games first up, but there could be some unsettled squads in the early season before they hit form. And from March onwards it doesn't look as scary as it could be...though that all depends if we follow last season's pattern of not playing too well against those near the bottom.

We haven’t kicked a ball yet ffs

Wow! Looking at that lot, we really will be one of the minnows in that lake of clubs.

Massive task for Taylor to prove himself this time around. Let’s hope TS backs him well with the recruitment plan.

Our involvement is to let Taylor and whoever is in the team know we are fully with them all the way throughout the coming season.

fc miller, it's just lazy journalism pal. Or, are they just geographically inept at understanding and reading maps!

Here's a little bit more about Hull which may explain why some still think it's NOT part of Yorkshire but it is.

Hull has an independent streak that has lasted for centuries.

But is the city really part of Yorkshire? Do people here conform to the Yorkshire stereotype of loving cricket, wearing flat caps and being extra careful in the money department? History tends to suggest otherwise. Hull was actually a county in its own right for 450 years until the late 19th century.

County status was granted in 1440 by King Henry VI in a royal charter which also created a new system of local government with the town being governed by a corporation which included a mayor, a sheriff and 12 aldermen.

The charter also gave Hull independent responsibility for administering crime and justice. Previously, courts were overseen by Justices of the Peace from the neighbouring East Riding but now Hull's criminals were dealt with by the town's mayor and his aldermen.

They even had their own prison in a tower in the old Guildhall.

Another innovation was the new post of Admiral of the Humber, a position still held by the current Lord Mayor of Hull.

HULL HISTORY

In 1889 Hull became a county borough as part of new national legislation which also created new county councils. As a county borough, Hull's governing arrangements remained separate from the neighbouring new East Riding County Council.

Eight years later Hull was granted city status and continued to run its own civic affairs in a notably independent fashion, with the establishment of its own municipally-owned telephone network being a famous example.

Even when the 1974 reorganisation of local government saw the creation of Humberside County Council, Hull City Council survived. When Humberside was abolished in 1996, Hull's civic powers were restored.

While Yorkshire as a tourism brand is now used extensively, Hull still remains free from any form of actual Yorkshire governance. Although it does NOT, renove the fact that is is in the East Riding of Yorkshire.


As for Boro.

The Borough of Middlesbrough is a borough with unitary authority status in North Yorkshire, England, based around the town of Middlesbrough in the north of the county. It is in the Tees Valley mayoralty along with Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar and Cleveland, Hartlepool and Darlington boroughs. Nunthorpe along with Stainton and Thornton have statutory parish councils.

What splits the divided opinion is, from the county's creation in 1889 (from the historic subdivision of Yorkshire) areas under Middlesbrough's governance remained part of North Riding of Yorkshire county for varing amounts of self-governance. The final iteration of this governance was reconstituted as a non-metropolitan district in the county of Cleveland (the county itself governed from Middlesbrough) in 1974. Since 1996, for ceremonial purposes, the district is part of North Yorkshire as a unitary authority. Fire and Police, however, remain as well as the borough's placement in North East England instead of Yorkshire and the Humber, which large parts of North Yorkshire is in. It is included within the combined authority area of Tees Valley for strategic purposes.

That's why some Boro fans say they're from Clevland not Yorkshire. Still Yorkshire if you look on the map.
