Why do a lot of games in North Derbyshire / South Yorkshire kick off early tomorrow ?

Derby v Forest on Sky I get at 12:15
Mansfield v Cheats at 1 pm I suppose is logical.
But Sheff U v Wolves at 1:25?? Eh.

Does any brainbox know why there is only a North Riding, West Riding and East Riding of Yorkshire, but no South Riding?

Does any brainbox know why there is only a Sussex, Essex, Wessex and Middlesex, but no Norsex?

Sheffield United are on a monster run and aiming to sneak into the play offs. Wolves are top of the league, well supported and will probably bring several thousand supporters (think the away end at Bramall Lane holds at least 4,500). They also have a certain reputation for carrying a few troublemakers.

Are you REALLY struggling to see why they might opt for an early kick off for that one??

The Sheffield utd game is 1:25 as they are celebrating their 125th anniversary.

Well I can now,with the second more logical answer.

Unlike most counties in England, which historically were divided into hundreds, Yorkshire was first divided into Thrydings, meaning 'Thirds', which were the three historical ridings of Yorkshire and then into wapentakes.
