The moans by Kent supporters in 1911 were what probably lay behind one of the most famous Punch cartoons (of which I have a framed copy).
It's headed Two Gentlemen of Warwickshire and depicts Frank Foster talking to William Shakespeare and quoting from Henry VI part two:
"Tell Kent from me she hath lost"
To which Shakespeare responds (quoting from Henry VI part 3):
"Warwick, thou art worthy."

But because it was decided by public vote, maybe those of us who didn't vote are to blame.

I voted for Rob Yates too, on account of his catches. There was no obvious way to give proper weight to this.

Yes Gerry, I think there was a copy of that in the old members bar. I would like to think that it is somewhere in the ground, who knows, it might be in the museum.
