Fact is they were a disgrace to Britain and imo only Yorkshire and South Wales minors were to "TRUE" voice of the minors, they didn't give a **** what the other minors had to do or how hard up folk was they were a set of Greedy people. As for as a Football match is concerned i'm glad they get reminded.
scabs my uncle was miner in maltby and if talk about nottingham to him the word Barsteward will follow
But don't forget, Notts miners ended up being betrayed themselves They wouldn't walk out because they had more modern, profitable mines with modern machinery. They thought they had more to lose, they had better pay agreements than the other coal fields. But when all was done and dusted, the government closed all their mines as well, despite promising not to. Its was all for nothing in the end....
They got what they deserved They thought that they were going to be treated differently but their pits ended up closed in the end so they achieved nothing by turning their backs on their fellow miners SERVES THEM RIGHT for trusting the evil old witch and her side kick
