My lad was shit on by Durham as a kid. It might sound bitter but it left its mark with me. I know a few lads at the club decent people but fuck them times have moved on they still think they are big players.
Their comeuppance is coming
SAFC2403 said:Wouldnt surprise me if they drop the DSL in the shit and apply to the county or coast league before the end of june.
Wat happened then VOR - spill the beans!!
They'll have to because the DCB will not be permitted to pick lads from clubs outside of the official ECB pyramid structure for the county teams which will mean that the cricket career of the rich kids from the private durham schools will effectively be over and they will play junior cricket in some backwater league.Wouldnt surprise me if they drop the DSL in the shit and apply to the county or coast league before the end of june.

They'll not allow that to happen. The only other choice woiuld be for those lads to try out at other clubs which woiuld spell the end for Durham City.
What a mess DCCC and the DSL have created for themselves.
I have absolutely no sympathy for either of them.
Hearing on the grapevine that Marsden may have become the first of the remaining DSL teams to jump ship/see sense. Rumours are flying about that they have submitted a resignation letter to the DSL with a view to applying to the DCCL/DCL in the next few weeks - in time to be on board when the merger happens.
Would imagine that this (if true) will trigger a few more defections.
I heard they looking NEPL 2 first ,if a space becomes available
Should also have added that they looking to leave the DSL
And forgot to add to above ,they deffo want to leave DSL
Interesting - the NEPL2 have reserved the right to take another two clubs if "the right ones" become available/interested so if Marsden applied there they would presumably be in with a chance.
Still, I think the key point is that they are leaving DSL and wherever they end up, it further weakens the position of DSL. They now have six clubs, not seven - and those six may now be realising that they're going to have to embrace change.
Timed cricket makes sense IMO although I assume there may be some opposition from some County League teams.
Also think the overseas pro point is pretty reasonable. Surely it makes sense to be as consistent as possible throughout the pyramid.
Would imagine the majority of Coast League teams would favour timed cricket, as would the DSL teams.
Agree that overseas pros should be allowed to ensure consistency throughout the ladder - and by that argument timed cricket should indeed be played; as that's what NEPL1 and 2 will be playing.
