When local govt reorganization in 1974 did away with the East, North & West Ridings administratively, there was a backlash leading to the formation of a Yorkshire Society who decided that August 1st would be Yorkshire Day.
There does not seem to me to be any firm historical data that associates this date with anything specifically Yorkshire related:
www.historynet.com/today-in-history
It is not like Easter but is akin to Mother's Day, Father's Day & any other commercially motivated so-called special days.
Just regard it as a day to celebrate this wonderful county of ours in any way you wish.
Beating the Bulls would do just fine for me.

No?
Oh well.'"
Have you been peeping again?
By the way I'm not a dwarf, I'm small but perfectly formed.

| Quote Jamie101="Jamie101"Can anyone explain Yorkshire Day to me? People keep banging on about it, but when I ask them what it actually means / is for, the answer I seem to get is 'well, y'know, it's Yorkshire Day!' or 'it's Yorkshire Day - for all things Yorkshire'.
It almost feels like no-one actually knows what the point of it is. Maybe a bit like Easter has become in more recent times (ooh, a bit of religious / social satire)

Yesterday was national orgasm day. Don't tell me you took a pass on that also.

| It's bad isn't it. Hope proved wrong, but think the Bulls will get their desired win tonight, and probably comfortably.

| McDermott is taking some risk - centres look a bit odd
Against London yes but I think Bradford must be in with a real chance tonight

Bench looks odder. Maybe Luke Briscoe to centre with Walters to backrow and one of JJB/Delaney/Achurch spelling prop? Will maybe need it because neither Kylie or Kirke usually give big minutes.

I wouldn't bet on it beating London. Hope I'm wrong.
Setting off now, but not with any enthusiasm.

| Meh. Not disappointed to be spending the night on my sofa in front of the athletics.
A fittingly poor send-off for the airport derby.

| Starting 13 looks fine although the centres are obviously out of position.dubious looking bench but hopefully the guy with the fistful of rings can prove his worth to the side,no hiding behind other players an option tonight.
