I still think Moxon ultimately has to shoulder a lot of the responsibility and ultimately when a big team gets relegated (and we are still a big team) then the axe normally falls somewhere. He has to go in my eyes, but I doubt Yorkshire can afford to pay him off.

I know someone close to Leeds Met and the responses about the pavillion been used mainly for university lift and not cricket is bang on. Inside it looks amazing but doubt Yorkshire CC will ever see a profit from it.

And as for the overseas player, yes it was a shocking decision to not have one. Go back as many years as you like, Tendulkar, Richie Richardson, Bevan, Lehmann they were all exciting cricketers which gave a buzz about the place when they came in to bat, but also gave the team a big lift too.

Good to see Pyrah get some praise, although I still dont know how he progressed to Yorkshire from been a kid with a big reputation that mainly came from his dad when he was a junior at Ossett.

It's shaping up for a terrific final day of the season in Division 1. Hants now lead Warks by 6 runs with seven wickets remaining, while Somerset lead Lancs by 105 with just two wickets left.

I've only just recovered from Surrey's promotion triumph at The Oval yesterday afternoon, celebrated with half price beer in the pavilion bar. (Division 1 beer tastes so much better than Division 2 beer.)

When Surrey won the Championship in 1999, for the first time since 1971, the beer was sold at 1971 prices of 11p a pint! If Lancs win it, will they sell beer at 1934 prices?

35 overs for Lancs to get 210.

Gonna be a cracking finish!

Hants 85 in front at Southampton now with six wickets still standing.

Lancs have hit 70 in 10 overs, no wickets lost. As good a start to the innings as you could have hoped.

140 needed off just under 25 overs.

101 off 13 overs now, so looks like Lancs should knock off the runs - just whether Hants can hold on to their 5 wickets and build up a decent lead so Warks can't chase it down ( or need like 10+ per over )

Please do it Lancy! Won't celebrate until it's all done and dusted knowing Lancashire. Warks 7 down now but surely too late.

Had both local radio stations on for the past couple of hours. Incredibly exciting finish

Hampshire Warks draw - Come On Lancashire!

17 to win!!! Come on!!!!!

Nearly there! 9 to win it

Get in!!!!

Fantastic.

Get in Lancs!!!

Fantastic finish!

Oooooh Lanky Lanky....!

That long wait is finally over!

Still can't believe we've finally won it!!Watching on the tv it looked like there was quite a few Lancs fans there to see it.I'm sure a few Yorkies will be on here soon to say well done

Really chuffed for the club and the members - being an ex-member myself . Forever the bridesmaids but not this year.

Peter Moores must be the cricket equivalent of Alan Hunte. I don't watch cricket anywhere near as often as I used to but I am amazed he won the league with that squad. Incredible achievement.

Last time Lancashire won the county championship was during a year when City won the FA Cup.

I would think GT and Karl would have been happy to see the FA Cup go to City if it meant Lancashire winning the county championship.

Really made up.

Never doubted it! Magic day. Got my hands on the trophy too.

Full reaction to follow after the celebrations!

It seems my brain won't let my fingers type the words.

Nice one. Really chuffed for those who got to watch the game.

Well done. Long time between dances, so enjoy.

Also, fair play to Hampshire. It would have been easy for them to have thrown the towel in after their relegation was confirmed mid-game and gift Warwickshire the title, but they ensured the end result was "real".

Roll on 2088 for your next one...

To honour Lancashire's incredible achievement I've taken a look at [url=http://cinematicsoul.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/cricket-on-film/#more-303Cricket in film[/url and my five favourite cricket films.

It must have been an incredible feeling to see your team win it in the final hour of the season after such a long wait. Surrey have won it four times in my lifetime, including three in four years, but I've never actually been there for the decisive moment and we've usually wrapped it all up with matches in hand.

It felt pretty good just seeing us secure promotion with an inning victory and a day and a half to spare on a lovely sunny afteernoon at The Oval on Wednesday after a three year spell in the lower division. Opposition number 11 inevitably holes out at long off after connecting with a few big hits, half price beer all round in the pavilion, then a leisurely journey home via some favourite pubs. I hadn't really stopped celebrating by the time we won the CB40 Final at Lord's on Saturday. Three seasons of hopeless failure in all competitions, then four days of glory, and now I can't wait for the next season to start.
