    You might want to pass that on to the powers that be at the club first.

    McCall; Clarke; Mottley-Henry, Evans and Gillead etc

    They stuck every single chip they had on some stupid cycle race that benefits no-one apart from coffee shops in Richmond and the like but clogs the roads for days. Total waste of space organisation that should be disbanded.

    As previous post stop this preoccupation with old players, old staff and on and on.

    Some people have no idea. The publicity it raised for the profile of Yorkshire was huge, Verity did well to get it all moving. My wife is a mad keen cyclist and I saw the positives it brought to communities and business. Problem is councils have little money to spend, even if they have they are too short sighted to see what benefits it did bring.

    Without wishing to derail the thread the numbers don’t mean a lot, we need to get more people out of cars and on to active transport, for the environment and their health. Diabetes and its complications costs the NHS £14bn a year, most of that is lifestyle related. Get people fitter and the NHS is better off. I cycle a lot, over 6000km so far this year a lot, and I fall in to the less than every day category. Cyclists spend a lot too, not too hard to go out in kit you could have spent a grand on if that’s what floats your boat, that’s before the bike, I know of many cafes aimed at cyclists and holidays in the dales are decent business.

    Well maybe as Harrogate seem to be more ambitious than us he’ll probably go there.

    Is that the same Verity that left when a hole was found in the finances and questions were asked about his expenses

    Hardly clogs all the roads all day. It’s not like TdF with a road closed from the morning, apart from the finish line it’s usually rolling road closures for 20 minutes in a massive county.

    69% of the UK population NEVER cycles, 83% cycles less than once a month and 96% less than daily. Yet Welcome to Yorkshire want to promote God Own County as the home of UK cycling. Talk about sticking your money on the wrong horse

    It's the club that is seemingly preoccupied with bringing back ex players, staff and on and on; not the supporters. If the club didn't continuously revert to the tried, tested and failed hoping for better outcomes, the supporters would probably speculate less.

    I lost all respect for Mason after a matter of heart. Eating pie of Edin's fork and trying to talk to talk when he KNEW that it was a massive disaster behind the scenes. Played a long with it all until it went tits up and then started to DM people saying that his hands were tied and that he'd spent months trying to talk Edin around. The man is all about self preservation and I dont want him anywhere near the club again.

    We seem to have an obsession with former employees returning.

    Had to laugh today when the t&a said a former city star had signed for the stans. Never expected motley crew to be referred to in such terms
