    What a non sensical comment, even for you.

    Supporting a team that's won the premier competition it competes in 30 odd times, about 20 more than any other club, and they finish halfway up the league renders them also rans?

    If we were all as fickle as you in support of their club then that would be bad for any sport.

    Supporting YCCC does not need to have the TRUE bit in front of it just to (try to) impress others.

    Halfway is halfway whether there's 4 or 44 teams competing.

    Would you be happy if SUFC finished 12th this year?.

    Not our best year obviously but would SUFC have been promoted without Fleck, Coutts, O'Connell, Sharp,Freeman and Moore away on international duty for all or most of the season? With Wright and Basham injured for most of the season?

    You need to compare apples with apples to get a meaningful balance.

    The fickle bit obviously whoosed you, in the interests of accuracy, I stopped going to BDBL after McC had got us into the 3rd division for a year. It was then I decided enuff was enuff.

    Still he dragged it back so quickly didn't he.

    I stopped going because one man's ineptitude was destroying the football side of the club and his constantly crying wolf about finances when we were getting good ( for the 3rd div) gates just didn't wash.

    Who had squandered the money in the first place? Who gave Nobson more than anybody else had had and then spent years regretting it and trying to recoup the losses and who suffered most during those times?
    He only had to look into the mirror to see who was to blame.

    He was lucky in that so many stuck with SUFC agreed and my admiration goes out to each and every one who did, for me it was a step too far and I won't become fickle by returning whilst he's there PL or otherwise.I have always said this and will stick by it.

    As for giving credit then the orchard will be full of windfalls because I'm not giving a man with a 10% success rate any credit.

    Enjooy the Peronis- always been your preferred drink or have you changed in the past few months?

    Peroni,Corrs Light,Stella or owt else i get bought is my favrit drink mi owd pal. Ya mention abart Yorkshire bein without the England men,which obviously had a bad effect on the season for the White Rose boys but surely the management knew they would be without Our Joe,Jonny etc;and if The BLADES had injuries and the Board(King Kev)hadn't planned accordingly they wudda been slaughtered by some(you),would they not? Since he appointed Tufty he's got a near 100% success rate mi thinks but your Obsessive dislike of the man won't let you admit it,but each to their own.I'm lookin forward to seein our boys back in action on satdi,i think it could well be a 2-2 draw.UTCB
