Thinking about getting the tickets for Scarbados soon before all the hotels are gone for Will Smith! £33 for a match ticket

 

[Silly Point 2.0]

I can see Scarborough being a flop this year. Those prices and all midweek. I hate to say I hope so but it would be deserved if only retired members turned up.

It anyone from the other counties wants me to post a pic of their county preview from the cricketer, just tag me and I’ll sort it

With only three days to go before the Uni match at the Riverside it looks as if we may be lucky with the weather!

No cricket today so following the footy. Spoke to my friend who is an accountant . He says he is involved in a consortium that are in talks with Pools owner Raj Singh about buying the club and it's looking promising.

Fingers crossed.

Ooh might have to buy this if it's out.

Enjoying the many, many, many ads of private schools.

Looks like an improving weather forecast for next week. Mostly mild and sunny.

Good news if true.

I should be there on Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon and maybe Thursday. I noticed its due to start at 11am which surprised me as I thought it would be 10.30 seeing as how the clocks haven't gone forward yet.

The ECB is interested in building a £500million roofed stadium capable of staging Test cricket and other major matches regardless of the weather and potentially outside of the English summer.


Sunday Times story

be an interesting concept , though in the interests of spreading the game , I suspect it will be within a 30 mile radius of London

Where are they getting the money for this?

I know they've got the franchise money but that was supposed to benefit the counties and grass roots cricket.

I had to check.the date. April Fools day isn't for a few days yet.

They'll build it on the Town Moor.

Bought my ticket for day two of the opening round at Trent Bridge.

They'll build it on the Town Moor.

More likely at Chester Moor going towards Waldridge Fell

24 hours to Tulsa .One day away from your heart. Tomorrow at 11:00 sees the final preseason preparations start with the visit of Durham University to the Riverside for a 3 day game.Last year's game resulted in a draw with Ackers hitting 179 in the first innings and Ben Raine 67* in the second. The Drizzler took 7 wkts across the game.. Nikki Gorantla who has played for South North during his studies hit a gritty 36* to ensure the spoils were shared . With no official statement from the club it's guesswork as to the make up of the side . Hopefully Conners, Minto and Coggs play a part after suffering from niggles on tour . Army Cadet Mustard,Hoggy and Mr Reliable - Ben Raine should get an opportunity to blow off the winter cobwebs.. Highly expected that 13/14 players from each side will partake. Still awaiting updates from Relton Terrace's version of Young Stanley's dad but guessing the wicket will down the bottom of the square near to the Trapdoor Stand . Further news as and when it's available

 

[Aidan11]

Squad news should be announced shortly.

I never got down to the ground last week as I was avoiding seeing the Chester Mags roaming around the Front Street but historically the wicket is usually near to the Don Robson for the Uni game.

No stream for those who can't make it. As I thought - the wicket is right over to the Don Robson Pavilion side of the ground.

Did I see the word “free”

Now that is a tempter. I may have an hour viewing after visiting the club shop

can you bring a dog in ?
