Attendances and TV viewing figures down for the Hundred. Looking forward to the announcement of an exciting new competition, The Eighty. Also every year they've announced that somewhere in the region of 30% of ticket sales are people new to cricket. At face value that looks good but 4 years in...

Did wonder if something had changed. Our usual stand there watching the match not paying attention to the crowd steward has gone and been replaced by a couple of chaps who were 100% concentrating on the crowd. Also noticed they had someone, presumably a supervisor, check in with them multiple...

Street was very good at the tell the person you're talking to what they want to hear thing. At the same time not a lot seemed to be achieved. Cov was last on his list for any public transport improvements and the parts he did manage to get done were massively over budget and if memory serves...

The plans already exist for VLR but the problem is we seem to be reinventing the wheel with VLR so rather than being able to crack on and start building using the same tech in place elsewhere we've got to develop new tech and run trials. Will be decades before this is up and running, if ever.

Infrastructure stuff I'd expect to be Frasers, although the better the stadium the higher the rent is likely to be. Stuff that's directly for us, like staff standing or the work that looks like it's been done in the dressing room area from the latest video posted is probably paid for by the...

Just been sent my tickets for some ice hockey I'm going to in Denmark, "game tickets allow free access via bus to the arena". One thing we don't do, which other clubs do, is advise the best places to park depending on where you're coming from. For example if when you went to book parking it...

Let's be honest here, since the first game there's always been some excuse or other. I doubt we will see any significant change from this. A&B have been locked down after games for the last few seasons and you can head towards town from C and the arena park. There's only a couple of parking...

Didn’t want to go to the final anyway. Final at the end of September will be cold and wet. Miserable day out.

Pretty sloppy bowling at the end there. Gifting Glamorgan some extra runs. Hopefully not going to regret that.

Imagine it will be like the app music venues use and a constantly changing QR code so you can't screen shot it and send it to someone else. With those in theory someone else can load the app on their phone and log in to your account but you'd have to be very trusting of them. Also pretty easy...

Mentioned before that we're seeing managed decline of the Blast to clear the way for the Hundred but that's nothing compared to the Metro Bank. Quarter Finals were on Friday, semi-finals today which obviously doesn't give much time for people to make plans or for counties to sell tickets...

You can't really tell from that tbh. When did 'never step foot on a pitch again' become the go to? See it regularly now. You'd need some pretty strong evidence of intent to injure to be talking about life bans.

I get that these days it's a fast game and officials will miss stuff and mistakes will be made. What gets me is how regularly there's things that every person in the ground can see but the officials. It gets to the point you start doubting yourself but then you see it back and it confirms what...

Have you just seen the same tweet from JBM that I have 😂

I would have been 12 when I started going. Used to get the bus into town in the morning and go to Cov baths, then chips at Fishy Moores before walking up to the ground. Would walk back into town after the game and get the bus home. Be out the house from probably 9am until about 7pm, assuming I...

Not supportive of treating pedestrians like children in the slightest, well I guess some of them are literally children. If pedestrians are acting like idiots then I will happily call them idiots but at the same time I'm not particularly keen on seeing any of our supporters seriously injured or...

who do you think is going to complain? won't be any businesses on the arena park, any business moving in there will fully expect people to avoid the area when matches are taking place irrespective of road closures. can't think of many businesses that would be impacted.

Technical issues last night, seems the live feed died.

they've tried policing the crossing points and it has pretty much zero effect and doesn't help with people trying to drive as fast as they possibly can on the roundabout. There's also a problem that the other side of Jimmy Hill Way / Hen Lane / Winding House Lane. When the road is open they...

It was, I believe, deliberate because there was a 'green travel plan' which had to be in place for all major events. I seem to recall the original plan involved a shuttle train which obviously never happened but there was initially buses from all over the city to games as well as park and ride...
