This aint a game this is War!!!!

“all invaders will be greeted with gun-shot!!!” Read the warning notice outside a scrap yard outside Marsden, I’ve just crossed the great divide which is more commonly known as no-mans land. Tomorrow sees a football fixture which to some is seen as war. I’m trying to fit in, I’m not too familiar with this area those west of no-mans land call ‘bandit country’, I pass the checkpoint to enter Yorkshire they searched me and my colleagues to see if I was carrying any Black Puddings, the process is repeated at a checkpoint in Milnrow to see if Yorkshire Puddings are in position (when the two come into contact with one another people are exposed to a mental illness known as Boggheadbahbahbeyoff syndrome). I continue towards Huddersfield Town Centre I’m meeting Biff a proud Yorkshireman and an Oldham fan called Tony, we were going to get the two sat down to discuss the rivalry but due to the high feelings between the two sets of supporters we didn‘t have the funding to secure the building, Tony lost members of his family during the war of the roses between 1455 and 1485 and Biff was knocked unconscious by a Andrew Flintoff 6 during a recent roses clash in the Twenty20 cup.

‘They are BIFFO scum? Oldham fans don’t have souls. I hate them every single one of them, they have always been the enemy and they always will be. They always give it the bigg’un about the Royle years and during those days I was tempting suicide, my life wasn’t worth living because Oldham were 2 Divisions above us, but now is our time and they are the shit, I can’t wait for tomorrow we’ll do them on and off the pitch” Biff hates Oldham that much that he refuses to fly from Manchester Airport because it means he has to go through Oldham. His views when it came to players Jon Worthington, Andy Holdsworth and Pawel Abbott who recently moved across to Oldham was straight and to the point “They’re dead to us!!”

Tony was no different when it came to his views on Huddersfield

“Sheep Shagging inbred bastards, I hope they all die, even if they beat us tomorrow they can never take the piss because we are the superior human beings. The thought of them being two divisions above us next season doesn’t give serious thought it just can’t happen and if it does then Dave Penney will be crucified then burnt (that is of course if Joe Colbeck can for the first time in his life put together a decent cross, I loathe them with all my heart”

Whatever your allegiance one thing is for certain tomorrow is going to be tasty!!!
