No referees or Assistants from Berkshire on First Class list

3 in Durham?

Sunderland, Darlington, Hartlepool United.

I realise the former is no longer in there but I was very careful to st8 "ceremonial counties".

I know there is a Beamish museum up there.

I think the presence of cities is more important that counties.

Successful teams with passionate supporters tend to come out of industrial cities rather than provincial towns, so rather than compare Berkshire to Leicestershire and Norfolk maybe you should compare Reading to Leicester and Norwich?

Highly as Badger Finger speaks of Leicester, that's got no score draw written all over it.

But yes much as I enjoy sticking the knife in it does seem to exonerate our friends over at the old boys club that is the Berks & Bucks FA.

Darlington? They play at a lower level than Maidenhead United nowadays.

Seems I'm out of date, thanks for the correction.
