The old West Riding Senior Cup used to draw bigger pre-season crowds than this load of bollox. L666s, Sadfud, 'Fax and Town. Park Avenue too many moons ago. No doubt similar existed elsewhere around the County and the Country too as there was usually a big'un or two in amongst the minnows to pull in a crowd for a game you'd normally only see once in a life-time in the big leagues and cups. They'd rather go off to furrin lands to play sides we never see anyway in front of a couple of hundred these days. I think the likes of Brighouse and Elland play for that Cup or it's nearest version now. The original competition apparently died in 1999 due to lack of interest, mainly from Beeston. Sad really.
