Dewsbury

And then Kev went outside and there was a stall outside and I knew he was fucked because it's a vendor that we know quite well.

He's always at Birmingham and we've been to his shop as well up in Dewsbury.

And he bought nothing but fucking Japanese toys.

And most of it was Godzilla related.

No, just going back to strangers' houses, our love.

You know, we'd go to Leeds, go to Dewsbury, hard times in Dewsbury.

Yes, yes.

And then you would go back to someone's house.

Yeah.

Where's the Yorkshire Cup going now? Dewsbury.

Raised eyebrow.

Matthew, as I said last time, I saw he was absolutely battered.

in here.

Dear Tim, I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Wetherspoon in Dewsbury town centre.

Okay, Dewsbury.

Where's Dewsbury?

Dewsbury is...

God, you always ask me and I never know.

I've been to Dewsbury.

Let me look it up.

That's my strap line.

But, no, originally Dewsbury lad, West Yorkshire, as most of you, some of you will be getting that, be like, oh, is he Huddersfield or is he whatever, or Leeds or Dewsbury in the middle.

So my little sort of backstory, as you mentioned earlier, always been in IT, IT managed services, predominantly UK focused.

Probably sort of network managed services, et cetera, focused on multiple different sectors.

Not in India, though, in up north.

Have you been to Batley before, Dewsbury?

Yeah, my father lives in Batley.

Oh, really? My sisters live in Batley in Dewsbury.

So my father sold his house here in Ilford about two years ago, two and a half years ago.

That's an excuse now to come see me up north because we're on the way.

They've gotta sort those injuries out, 'cause injuries have killed them for a few seasons now.

Uh, they'll be at Dewsbury.

Uh, is it Dew-

Yeah, Dewsbury, yeah

... where is it? Dewsbury they're going? I don't know.

Dews-

Dewsbury.

Dewsbury, yeah

What is dear to my heart is everything below Super League, and I always have the saying that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Whatever involvement, whatever financial input or, you know, governance that is forced on the game in the UK, there has to, the deal has to include the Dewsbury and the Batleys of this world, and all those clubs down the line.

Because if you just let the wi- the, the vine wither, what are we actually investing in? An inve- an investment i- in a sport, in a sporting code for mine has to be at every level, and I don't know about those discussions behind closed doors where enough focus has been given on all these clubs.

I just hope that if we land on a deal...

But please don't let that be at the expense of what is your equivalent of our country rugby league here.

And right across, you know, New South Wales and Queensland, you know, little country towns who have had their, their, you know, picked the eyes out of their talent.

You know, W- Walmsley from Eng- you know, the products of Dewsbury, the Burgess brothers.

We're watching it all.
