I was thinking more of the Trappist style beers - Hoegaarden's of the world are just overpriced for what they are ..... and not really beer. But they always seem to have the desired effect

Well said. bollocks to Newcastle, South Northumberland, geordies, David Harker & all the rest. That complete wankpot John Hall had his chance 22 years ago when he crushed other NE sporting teams to enhance the NUFC1992 brand but thank f*ck we held out.
Cant wait to get to a list a+ game next year at Darlo, Durham Uni, Sunderland or wherever in 2015.

i wouldnt put it like this but the sentiment is spot on. they are chasing money of course but let northumberland create their own county team.Well said. bollocks to Newcastle, South Northumberland, geordies, David Harker & all the rest.

I was a big follower of Durham Wasps and it was horrible to see what happened to the club. The same thing would have happened to Durham CCC if John Hall got his hands on it, they would have probably been playing cricket up in Newcastle now. Ironically the ice hockey team no longer exists.
David Harker is an idiot as well.
Emmerson will hail it a success as he is the unofficial mouth piece for the club and he wouldn't really criticise especially on twitter. The prawn sarnie area looked full which is all the club will be bothered about, bearing in mind the executive areas are virtually empty for county games at CLS, the club need to be careful not to loose touch with their proper supporters who are the members.
I know a lot of people who didn't go yesterday for a number of reasons. The attendance of 1704 isn't really much to shout home about, the club will have wanted more. The ground only had limited 1st come first served disabled car parking which isn't ideal and some will have seen that as risky, bearing in mind the parking around the ground is poor at best
£15 a ticket
£4 bus
£5 for a seat with the option of a couple of quid back.

Don't think we can blame the geordie nation for creating Harker.

We can blame him for the dire financial situation the club are in. I always found it a bit suspicious that he left the club then re-joined not long after, seemed a bit odd.

I bet the members lounge will be an even more depressing place than normal at the next home match, because most of them are moaning when Durham are winning.

The players were getting plenty of grief from the members lounge during the Warwickshire game.

It's a shame some people missed a great game of cricket because of a line on a map. I suppose it just goes to show that for some, being a supporter is conditional.

Have not been in there for a few seasons but there is some real cricket brains in there.

Just didn't agree with it Harry. Like I said earlier, it's like Yorkshire playing 1st class cricket in Stockton or Manchester.
We had specific needs and the fact only limited disabled car parking was available at the ground was an immediate concern for us and we were unable to book a car parking spot in advance. If we turned up and couldn't get parked we'd have been a bit stuck bearing in mind we don't know the area that well and walking a distance wouldn't have been ideal. Yes I'm aware the club had buses on but that was an additional cost and we would prefer to arrive/depart on our grounds as opposed to set bus times. Bring your own seats/pay for seat hire was just laughable, the pay for a seat hire doesn't happen at any other out ground in the 2 divisions
It's good to see the club hailing it a success but 1704 attendance isn't much to shout home about, I know for a fact they will have wanted more.
I'm all for the 2nd xi touring around the region, but 1st class cricket should remain within the traditional County Durham boundaries (Gateshead to Stockton/Darlington). If the club decided to do this in the future, I'd like to think Darlington/Sunderland/Hartlepool/Stockton were considered, not Northumberland.
