Be patient Rammy,it's only been 77 years since you last won it ! What's another year or two.

Even as a proud Yorkshireman,may I be the 1st to congratulate Lancashire on winning the County Campionship.
Lancashire were superbly led by Yorkshireman Glen Chapple a top bloke.

Wooohoooooooo!!!! Get in there Lanky!!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! WELL DONE LANCASHIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im a very proud lancastrian right now, been a fan of lancashire since i was a kid so im on cloud 9 at the moment and will be for several days yet, glen chapple had injured/torn his hamstring yet still played on

Off to the pub tonight, because I may not be around next time, in 77 years time
