As a proud Lancastrian it is my duty to inform the goat members that Yorkshire are now relegated to division 2 of the County Championship:pDT_Xtremez_14:.
Such relegation obviously denies the red rose county of valuable points previously obtained in years gone by.:pDT_Xtremez_42:

Lancashire are county champions

So the championship pennant flies above Old Trafford for the first time in 70 odd years, shame the tykes won't be visiting to see it.:pDT_Xtremez_30:

Don't worry about the cricket.

Yorkshire has won more Olympic gold medals than Canada, Japan and Australia. If Yorkshire became an independent nation, we would be 10th in the medal table.

And then there's the Yorkshire rugby league teams taking on them pie eaters from the wrong side of the pennines :)

Even happier days. :pDT_Xtremez_15:

I think it's just a draw needed against Notts. The Tykes in our office will be unbearable, or at least a bit more unbearable than normal.

(Through gritted teeth) A very well done to Yorkshire, on winning the title with only one loss all season. With a batting spine of test players Balance, Root and Bairstow you can add bowling from Tim Bresnan and the old stager Sidebottom plus the leadership and batting from the surely soon to be capped Adam Lythe Yorkshire have an excellent team who are well coached by dizzy. I just have to hope we hang on tomorrow. Yorkshire winning is bad enough but to be relegated in the same season dark days indeed.

Can anyone explain why, immediately after the Ashes, Johnny Bairstow and Adam Lyth were back playing for Yorkshire, whilst Ian Bell and Alistair Cook have yet to feature for their respective counties, whilst Stuart Broad has only featured in a one-day match for Notts. I know Bairstow is now playing in the ODI, but initially he wasn't selected and only featured when Jos Butler was dropped. Incidentally, Butler didn't feature for Lancashire in their last game after being dropped by England.

Whilst I'm sure they would have won it anyway, these sorts of actions by the ECB have certainly assisted Yorkshire to retain their title.

Kudos to Durham too - yet again retaining their Div 1 status with by far the smallest squad in the 2 leagues.

2 Championships and 2 one day cups in the last few years are fantastic and a credit to the team ethos and dedicated coaching staff.

Paul Collingwood is still going strong too. Fantastic servant to the club.
