Wouldn't listen to what a Derbyshire team thinks about Yorkshire.

 

They're massive but Leeds are massiver seems to be the consensus

 

Doesn't say biggest in terms of what though. Degree of self-delusion by fans?

 

just under
leeds
sheff utd
huddersfield
bradford

and ofcourse the massive is 1st

guess we have only
played in a fa cup final
played in europe
and beat the massive in a play off final

guess that just about makes us 6th

 

1. Wednesday
2. Leeds
3. Sheffield United
4. Barnsley
5. Bradford City
6. Huddersfield
7. Rotherham
8. Doncaster
9. York
10. Halifax

I don't really consider Hull part of Yorkshire personally but they'd probably be around Huddersfield area.

hmm.

 

****ing hell, I thought there was some right drivel posted on here but that ****e takes the ****ing biscuit.


A massive Yorkshire biscuit obvs.

Dunked in a massive bucket of Yorkshire tea.

 

I've never really got this whole big club thing.

Huddersfield were the first team to win the league 3 times in a row. It was 92 years ago though so why is it relevant to how big a team is now?

Leeds United were great in the 70s, then spent way too much money being ok in Premier League 15 years ago. They haven't been back for 11 years though.

Sheffield Wednesday won the league nearly 90 years ago. Won the league cup in 91. Haven't been in the top division for 18 years.

I'm a Hull City fan. Where they are in some subjective person's list of big clubs means nothing to me. I don't care enough to put them in a list myself. In my head we are the only club. Not 'bigger' than everybody else. Not better than everybody else. But they are MY club, that's all I care about.

 

It was 2004 that Leeds were relegated, so 14 years ago. They've been out of the top flight as long as they were in it.

 

Every time we've played a Sheffield club at Wembley we've hammered them. Looking forward to another mauling tomorrow.

 

Yep.

And 1 - 0 (not 5-3) was a far bigger hammering than the score suggests.

 

Are they actually northerners?

I'm not so sure.

In truth, I don't really consider the Cod Heads as being northern.

 

Leeds have for been in the top flight for 50 years of their history.Though they are a massively underachieving club for the largest city with only one club.

 

Is that the Hull where Yorkshire cricket used to play matches and where, in the days when you had to be born in Yorkshire to play for them, they were captained by someone born in Hull?

 

Hull is in Québec.

 

All these massive clubs when where they last in the big league? Or Europe? Are we the last Yorkshire team to be in Europe? Where Leeds the ones before that?

Middlesbrough had a spell in it?

 

It's always good to read stuff like this when you need a bit of a laugh

 

This^^^ Only 1-0 but we were in complete control. An easy for us that.

 

I agree

I consider us as the Southern end of the North

Anything below the Humber Bridge is the South

 

I need a drink an alcoholic one at that, Castro sticking up for Kingston Upon Hull cheers.
