I just wondered if the Yorkshire / Lancashire thing as a bit deeper on the Yorkshire side than we tend to think it is. I personally have only seen it as friendly banter.
The reason I ask is that we had the Witton Relays at the weekend and had a fantastic turnout from Lancs Clubs with over 300 runners involved and not one Yorkshire club.
That's despite lots of support from contacts I have in Yorkshire Clubs, particularly the junior side.
The one exception - Dave Woodhead - and was taking pictures.
