Maybe I'm being dumb, but how come teams only play 14 games when there are 9 teams in the division? If you play the other 8 home and away, that should be 16 games, surely?
Aye lad, but remember oop north we have to work 3-day shift down t'pit before we walk 50 miles in the dark and the rain in just barefeet and rags just to get to t'ground, whereas you softie southerners don't know you're born.
