So I take it student night is not going to be an annual event.
Correct.Bostock has put his hand up and immediately admitted he got it wrong,admitting that some of his colleagues had expressed reservations about the venture. He responded immediately to my email and readily apologised. All credit to him then-not many CEOs would do that.
Apparently 2000 students signed up for the venture -understandable how he was tempted.

Looks like the same event happened down Edgbaston and this it what it has brought…

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Clubs needs to simply ban them in the future and become more stricter with dickhead behaviour. Yes it may hit them in the pocket at times but it will put genuine people off attending which would be a bigger hit financially.
They're teenagers,it was the end of term and they can't hold their beer plus the vast majority of them clearly had no interest in the cricket. Most of us can look back on those years and cringe at our behaviour at times. The clubs have realised their mistake and,hopefully, make sure there's no repeat.

I got a reply back to my email to the CEO this morning and like others have said fair play to him as he held his hands up and admitted he got it wrong.

So was it a specific company/event that arranged this just for students?
I mean in my day if you wanted to go to the cricket as a student you did what everyone else did.

Takes full responsibility as it was his decision to trial a partnership with the Universities.
Didnt steward the game well enough.
Club were naive to think they could ensure
Covid protocol would be adhered to.
Club should have made it clearer that Uni students would be attending.

The last point is the worst for me. The club where very sly how they did it and knew it would not be popular If they advertised it beforehand.

Fair play, but I could have told them how University students would behave when presented with cheap booze at the end of term.

Was their booze cheap? I paid £5/pint.

I presume so, there are usually booze promotions associated with these events.

As far as I could see they were buying from exactly the same outlets as everyone else. Suppose there may have been an element of "pre-loading" before they arrived.

Interesting to note cases in county Durham continue to rocket. Over 500 today, I can imagine a lot of those will be Durham City

Gruaniad today - approx two weeks on from the game
“Durham City, where 73% of residents are students, according to data from the House of Commons Library, has the second-highest infection rates. On Monday, the area had 2,011 cases per 100,000 people.”
