2011 County Championship Fixtures

[My Boy Harry]

Anyone know when they are out? I thought it was always November.

The ECB’s management board today agreed to set up a small working party to finalise the domestic schedule for 2011 following a meeting at Lord’s.

The decision follows a consultative meeting at Lord’s last week with 56 different representatives of the first-class game to discuss scheduling issues.

The working party will be chaired by ECB chief executive David Collier and will include representatives from the PCA and the wider county game.
.It will report back to the next scheduled meeting of the management board on November 17 when a decision will be made on the domestic schedule for 2011

Fixtures are expected out sometime today. Nothing as yet though.

Last year Durham missed the first week in the CC.

Edit - just phoned Durham, the fixtures are out at 11.30am.

Lancs v Yorkshire is at Liverpool, that will upset the members, as is Lancs v Durham, which has upset me.

Yep, but they're still using it for the one dayers and T20's and they were supposed to be using it for the CCC games where they get decent crowds (Yorks, Derbys and Us).

Excellent, will catch a few days at the Rose Bowl for the opening game.

[My Boy Harry]

A few more of the CC games spill over into weekends, which is good too see. I'll be at the Yorkshire game on the Saturday and possibly the Sunday. Quite fancy Hampshire on the Saturday as well but its a long way to go.

T20's in a block again.
