Works for me, Going to Reading + marshalling Tour of Britain on the 1st, so it's pretty much the earliest i can do.

Errr....How do you get to Grace Road from London? Take pity on the poor overseas student..


I.E which station to get off at for Grace Road, etc etc.

Train?

London > Birmingham > Leicester possibly.
Probably a more direct route tbh.

Indeed. Would cost me £36.60 to go St Helens -> Liverpool -> Nuneaton -> Leicester, or St Helens -> Warrington Bank Quay -> Crewe -> Nuneaton -> Leicester. Meaning I'd have to leave St Helens really early, too. As a matter of fact, I'm out.

Get on the Sheffield train from St Pancs, most if not all stop at Leicester.

 

[Goughy]

If worst comes to the worst, I can do Southampton. If we are looking for somewhere more central how about

Wed 30 - Sat 2 County Championship Division Two
Worcestershire v Essex
County Ground, New Road, Worcester
?

TBH I dont exactly know where Worcester is but it has to be more central than Southampton

Also New Rd is a pretty ground and those that want to can do their Rikki-Watch

Would need a net though

...if Surrey were playing.

 

[Langeveldt]

Worcester is easy to get to, about five minutes off the M5 before you get to Birmingham

I'd be up for Wednesday 30th definitely..

 

[Goughy]

...if Surrey were playing.

You can tell I left England over 6yrs ago and havent payed that much attention and allowed myself to make silly mistakes

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Can't afford anything over £20 atm. Can barely afford anything over £15. It's 12TT dollars to the pound on a good day these days, so you can imagine how expensive that is for me.

 

[cricketboy29]

Yeah, I'm in a similar situation except its 14HKD to 1 pound.

 

[Goughy]

Well these are the games next week.

I think a net is essential but it would be beneficial to make a day of it with a game, as for most its going to be a fair way to travel.

All or any are fine by me as long as we have a proper net (Ive not had a net in the UK for 6 years so Im looking forward to it). I would suggest that someone in the UK finds out about the availablity of nets at these 4 locations and go from there. If they are awkward with availability, just ******** them about how we are from a cricket website or that players are coming from all over the world and need a net on this day.

 

[cricketboy29]

Well, if anyone is passing through from the South up, and is willing to give me a lift from maybe the outskirts of London. I could go, otherwise ticket prices look astronomical.


EDIT: Kumble is flying home from Surrey as well...
