Again just highlights how appalling our punishment was. As they have basically got away with similar losses that we sustained.
Yorkshire post losses of £7 million
- Thread starter mackembhoy
- Start date
Obviously we got shafted but wasn't the problem that we couldn't repay our debt rather than making a big loss?

Not sure I see much difference if Graves covers the losses like the ECB did ours.
Especially when he was the one making the decision over Durham too.
Somewhat hypocritical I'd say.

These losses are due to Patel sacking the whole staff for absolutely no reason and then getting legally shafted by every single one
Handing the likes of gough the biggest wage in county cricket
It’s hard to give a better example of incompetence at board level than Patel

The most appalling thing is that they’ve been able to bring back the racism enabler and corrupt bastard Graves back completely unfettered after a year or so off.
Yeh, but ECB are watching Yorkshire very closely!!
And doing f.a.

So annoying watching this unfold over the last couple of years, know for a fact had it been us we'd be out of business and back to being minor county by now

It was Gold Medal Shithousery.
Him and Bransgrove always wanted to see Durham get busted down a few notches.
Well we're back in Division 1 and Yorkshire can enjoy at least another year in Division 2.

I can’t agree I think the whole things been a total farce and forced by politicians and ECB officials trying to make themselves look good.
And I’m usually on the other side of these arguments but it’s I been a witch hunt to bring Yorkshire down. Simple as that.
The DCMS MP committe was a total and utter disgrace
Read Atherton’s views in the times, totally agree with him
Although I agree on this. Different issue tho,

What about the ‘corrupt bastard’ bit. That still stand?
Yeah for sure, I just dont agree with your sentiment toward the Rafiq stuff, I think its been a farce what happened there to Yorkshire myself
Agree on the ECB, Durham stuff for sure
Just not lumping the 2 together.
You forget that they were given the draconian punishment of not being able to stage a test match for one whole English winter.

Did people want Yorkshire to go bust like? Some of the comments seem to suggest that, would be awful for the area.
As that what was going to happen

I’d expect Yorkshire and Middlesex to name two , to have similar penalties imposed on them as to what were imposed on Durham
If either go pop
Cest la vie
The loss of test cricket to Yorkshire in winter was an utter farce

2 wrongs dont make a right, having no test cricket in the north at all can not be a good thing
Of course test cricket venues should be spread across the country but these venues should just be given a staging fee and profits going into the central fund to benefit all levels of cricket.
thought ECB had already said it would not allow Yorkshire to go bust?

I think people would’ve simply liked Yorkshire to be treated in the same sort of manner that we were. It’s not a good luck when you’re not on a level playing field.

It’s not remotely the same offense though?

What about Glamorgan? Middlesex?
Some counties are equal, but some are more equal than others.
