Problem is the summer months. I did follow Yorkshire CCC around for some years - a good way to take up the weekend

However, there comes a time when you have to give in gracefully to the demands of gardening, painting & decorating .... etc.

At least I work for Sheffield United, so I have a great excuse. And I haven't missed a single game for over 20 years - so that's a lot of Saturday's taken care of
