10k is pretty pathetic for a game which is a fiver for season ticket holders

I agree.

 

And folks can't say they can't afford it.

 

If people can't get - fair enough - but i'm not sure the club can do much more to tempt people to go.

 

(Perhaps some people just can't be arsed?)

Here in the States school calendars are quite varied.My nephews who live in same county as me go back tomorrow whereas a friend of mine who is a teacher does not go back till second week of September and she just lives in the next county over.

to be fair, I bet the next county is 1500 miles away.

Actually their are a 100 counties lol in NC and therefore she just lives about ten miles from me but in a completely different county.How do the counties work in UK as far as distance Boycie?

well, the largest is Yorkshire I think, I'm not sure but Counties of England are areas used for the purposes of administrative, geographical and political demarcation. For administrative purposes, England outside Greater London and the Isles of Scilly is divided into 83 counties. The counties may consist of a single district or be divided into several districts. As of April 2009, 27 of these counties are divided into districts and have a county council. Six of the counties, covering the major conurbations, are known as metropolitan counties, which do not have county councils, although some functions are organised on a county-wide basis by the lower-tier districts (or metropolitan boroughs) acting jointly.

All of England (including Greater London and the Isles of Scilly) is also divided into 48 ceremonial counties, which are also known as geographic counties. Most ceremonial counties correspond to a metropolitan or non-metropolitan county of the same name but often with reduced boundaries.

The current arrangement is the result of incremental reform. Many of the counties have their origins in the Middle Ages,[1] although the larger counties of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Sussex lost many or all of their administrative functions centuries ago. The geographic counties which existed before the local government reforms of 1965 and 1974 are referred to as ancient counties or historic counties. From 1889 to 1974 areas with county councils were known as administrative counties, which excluded larger town and cities known as county boroughs and included divisions of some geographic counties.[2] From 1974 to 1996 the metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties, some of which were established only in 1974,[3] corresponded directly with the ceremonial counties.

Counties, usually either historic counties or current ceremonial counties, are used as the geographical basis for a number of institutions such as police and fire services, sports clubs, and other non-government organisations.

For the purpose of sorting and delivering mail, England was divided into 48 postal counties until 1996; these have been abandoned by the Royal Mail in favour of postcodes. But I could be wrong
