Flockton school comes under Kirklees Council, but has a wakefield phone number and wakefield post code..The whole thing is an absolute mess. The French have it nailed. You have a department (within a region). The department has a number eg 66. The post codes all begin with 66----.

The thing is although it's a school in Calderdale it takes a lot of students from fixby and cowcliffe which is in Kirklees so I'm not sure how that works.

Quite so "Daddy" , the then, now and for the last 1000 years or so boundaries of The West Riding of Yorkshire. If you're on the map, you can pay your bills to Greater Manchester, South Yorks, Kirklees, Cumbria, Lancashire or wherever, but you're still in Yorkshire. Many others have pointed out their postcodes etc, as I said Royal Mail were a law unto themselves. Their only remit, was to deliver post as fast as possible, thereby using the nearest large sorting office, and total confusion regarding addresses. Now they don't use Counties at all, officially, of course whatever County, Authority etc you put on a letter, it will still get there with the right postcode. It doesn't make Saddleworth anymore geographically in Greater Manchester than anything else.

BECAUSE it's Mail will go through the Huddersfield sorting office. Simple as.

Can someone up the interest levels in this thread to a new high by relating the data to parliamentary constituencies and forecast how many season cards we should be selling in constituencies including Huddersfield, Colne Valley etc?

i think there is a few things that will ultimately limit how many season cards we sell. Our location between Manchester and Leeds definitely plays a part. With Oldham, Bradford and Halifax added to the mix, our fan base already is limited. Then there is Rugby league. Admittedly the numbers of people choosing to watch Giants, Dewsbury and Batley over HTFC is not huge, but they exist. In our area we have quite a big population of Asians. Most have no interest in football, which is a shame as there is a huge untapped market out there. Thought at time we had Adnan at Town, if he could really break through and be a success, it would bring a number of Muslims down to the stadium to boost numbers.But for me the crucial thing about Huddersfield is it is not a well off town. We have virtually no industry left. Lots are unemployed and Most people in employment in the town are on minimum wage or close to it, and this prohibits a lot of folk to simply not be able to watch football, even with SC's at £179. It would be a luxury over paying the bills or eating. Yes, I know a few of the above points can be said for other Towns or City's and they do alright for crowds, but all of them put together here in Huddersfield do work against us. I think we will end up selling about 16000 SC's in the end, which in this day and age is a great effort.

So officially Captain the address isn't Greater Manchester, because Royal Mail say it isn't! As the people who live there and think they're in Yorkshire are deluded in your eyes, what's the situation then for those born there when it was Yorkshire, and according to you now it isn't.. Are they still Yorkshire men and women, or are they now Lancastrians in your eyes? Lesser things have started wars, and maybe you too wouldn't like being forcibly repatriated. It isn't according to me- its according to the maps mate!! By all means insist that the map is wrong if you like. If I was one of them,. Id consider myself a yorkshireman and one whos village has been shunted out of yorkshire by twats.

They have Rolls Royce there and their average wage is pretty high, including roles you'd ordinarily perceive as 'working class'.
