For the fans, yes. For the players, no. In today's world, impossible.

Bit rich coming from someone proposing an eight team regional championship.

I'm not sure how we're going to fit in all our games in hand.

We already play too many games. We bring in rules to restrict players' time on the field and then increase the number of league games we play. We don't need more games and especially not for the best players.

[sigh] No.

Seriously, clubs complain that folk don't buy their programmes but they make them so hard to buy. I've been to the new York stadium half a dozen times and had no idea they produced a programme.

That would never happen in Rugby League.

Poor old Harry.

All ticket. They're like gold dust.

Daryl v Tubbs games are always an event.

Really nice lasagne at Halifax too. Served with a salad and garlic bread. Always good catering at the Shay.

I can see that.

Ep 21 is where Marty writes down a reg no RXD 997F. Jeff's car -by a huge coincidence - is RXD 996F.

Well, the underlying problem is that, for such a game to be successful you need to create two sides of roughly equal ability to which supporters will attach their allegiance. Sixty years (or more) ago, Yorkshire v Lancashire fitted the bill. Now, it doesn't.

Overall, the records are remarkably similar. Played 92, Yorkshire 45, Lancashire 44, Drawn 3.
