*Official* 3rd Test at the Sardar Patel Sports Complex, Ahmedabad, 24 - 28 Feb 2021

BTW I have happily moved over to the cricbuzz and crapinfo lunch time shows, as they are actually about the cricket.

Oh cool, now it's 132,000 per Gavaskar. At this rate of rise, it'll hold millions by the end of the month!

C'mon, you useless ****s. Somebody actually run the numbers on this.

 

[honestbharani]

apparently they've been constructing new seating in preparation for this Test

I think they've just smuggled in more chairs and fudged up the numbers a bit. 132K capacity if you include all the people who could be seated in the dressing rooms, gyms and toilets.

The thing about all this is, NONE of these would have mattered (except to a bunch of biased folks over on Twitter) had this been the name and the capacity of the stadium from the beginning. It is just so obvious it was all thought of within the last week and its just annoying to watch this kind of self-praise.

Nothing to do with politics, at least for me, personally. Just very shameful to see this level of last minute chaotic self promotion. I know it works in election campaigns in India but leave it out of the cricket, FFS.

50% capacity due to COVID, so if the official capacity is higher they can let more in throughout the Test.

The way they are implementing “social distancing” - might as well open it up.

Was Patel bowling with hand grenades?

Change it to "*Official* 3rd Test at the Sardar Patel Sports Enclave, Ahmedabad, 24 - 28 Feb 2021" imo

England lost the opportunity to get into momentum for this match, Congratulations India for series win in advance.

Its not.. Its just a sign of poor governance and self promotion by GCA, which is run by political bigwigs of the ruling party. I dont think it is directly political or anything.
