Now tell me that I'm wrong here, but surely playing yourselves is just not allowed, is it?

A simple misunderstanding, it's just one set of brave men playing cricket against another set of brave men.

Fucking grim.

I’ve seen this story before. Put Cain in charge, team can’t win because he’s more concerned with property development, claim attendances are booming while you’re giving away tickets like confetti and plastic fucking flags.

Can’t stand the Hundred.

Did you go??
Thinking of taking the boys up on Weds.
Does it cost to get in and were all of the chairs taken?!
Also, can you wander in and out?

£15 for adults, I think kids are free, or if not free very cheap.

There was a decent amount of seating but not tons, some people were a bit towels on sunbeds but most people were OK and if they left for a while accepted their chair was now free. If you've got camping chairs or something like that you can bring them in.

I didn't leave so no idea on that score. You normally can at Edgbaston so I would guess you can. There's a few food and drink tucks they've bought in but obviously limited.

Was busy but not as busy as last year when every game was pretty much an instant sell out. Guess the novelty factor is gone. Wonder if they'll try and find somewhere else next year and move it around the county.

Saw the set up as was around there at about 6:30.
Cheers for the info though. Very useful!
On my doorstep so will more than likely have a look on Wednesday!
Thank you.

It could be difficult to move it around a lot if the old grounds are dumps like Griff &Coton the outfield at C&NW is a disgrace it was hardly good enough for the under 12 game my lad played on it last week. At kenilworth wardens on Tuesday so will see what that’s like.

In completely shocking news that nobody could see coming the ECB are 'revamping' the Blast.

Revamping seems to mean reduce the number of games which will of course fuck over the non-Hundred hosting counties as they are reliant on the Blast for income.

The Blast needs revamping but not in an ecb way, it should be played in one block to get the best overseas, I think it was better at the start with less games. While they are there they can kill the hundred it’s still terrible and most people have no affiliation to any of the teams.
