Yorkshire is a region in England.
Yorkshire is the largest traditional county of England, covering some 6,000 sq. miles (15,000 km²) with a population of some five million. It is traditionally divided into West, North and East Ridings (from Old Norse þriðing, "third part", a legacy of the area's ninth century Scandinavian settlers). The City of York is not part of any riding.
Yorkshire city Sheffield is widely regarded as the birthplace of association football. FIFA recognises Sheffield FC, founded in 1857, as the World's oldest football club. Whilst the Guinness Book of Records recognises Sandygate, home ground of their local rivals & second oldest football club in the World Hallam FC, as the oldest football ground in the World.
In Hattrick terms, it is the second largest region in England (after London) boasting nearly 2000 active users, and is represented in the English Premier by Meat Mane.
