I think mainly fB it wasn't so much the beer drinking but beating those old rules controlling opening times. The wife's uncle also enjoyed Yorkshire's county matches at the Anlaby Rd. circle [sadly under the KC Stadium now] as the beer tent was open all day. he was not to keen on the introduction of one day cricket. "Barely time to get to know the barmaid's bra size!" was his stock answer when he was asked if he approved of the one day game.
