Low enough test to appreciate GWS and Collingwood though.

Headingley will host both cricket and RL and RU with a slightly bigger capacity ground under these plans..

It’s not in London, and it’s not huge, but hey, the north does what it can in a London- centric UK .
One annoying thing from the start of this year. Northern grounds and counties have been complaining for years how London always get the best tests to host and everyone else gets the smaller games in the colder months.
Yet here at Edgbaston in the middle of summer day 1st test against the number one team in the world and they don't sell out. The interest is there but the greedy ecb pit their ticket prices too high.
They sell out in London as there's so many more people there and people can generally afford £80-140 for a ticket

Grant Elliott should've trademarked the bat drop. It is sad to see pretenders like Root and Kohli trying to imitate the master.

Good post. There are more than enough cricket fans in the UK to sell out every day of a test match in any of our grounds (small though they are) We regularly get 10K+ English fans in the MCG for an Ashes test FFS.
For years a lot of the Barmy Army have boycotted English test matches due to price. They save their money and get far better value touring.......when you can do a full tour to Sri Lanka, India, Nz for eg for less money than attending 5 tests in the UK during a summer you know things are ****ed up.

It does often come to my notice that ticket prices in the UK have similar numbers to those in Australia, despite being in £ rather than $.

But it's worse than that. A day of an Ashes test at the MCG is around $45.....SCG a bit dearer, maybe $55. A day at Lords for an Ashes test must be £70-80.
