CC : Leicestershire v Durham


You wouldn't someone who's only took 6 wickets all season to bowl against us fair enough

Why ignore the rest of his post? GM made a more than valid point about Ahmed’s other capabilities and attributes. You don’t have to always be on the warpath mate.
Aye fair enough I can't believe some people are trying to dispute facts really

You’re talking about yourself pal, honestly, step away from the conflict and take a bit of perspective on this one.

What perspective by saying someone who has 6 wickets at 70 shouldn't be feared
 
forecast isn't looking overly great. still not sure if to travel yet

Don't know if you're still going. But if you haven't been before the ground is not on Grace Road. It's nearby and, going from memory, you can access the ground from Grace Road down a narrow alleyway that back then was "unmade" i.e. not tarmac but a rough surface formed in broken bricks. The main entrance is on Curzon Road which is on the opposite side of the ground to Grace Road. I made the mistake of believing the ground was located on Grace Road and ended up nearly walking a full circuit around the ground to find a way in.

Thanks. Hopefully we can get parked closed enough to the ground to help the wife, less walking for her. Forecast is all over the place

Didn't notice parking being a problem on Curzon Road or adjoining roads as its all suburban terraced housing, but I was on foot. Grace Road, to me, seemed to mainly comprise of light industrial units and not a good place to park. Inside the ground wherever you think would be a really good place to sit are nearly all Members Only areas. Didn't try chancing my arm though, even though the view from the stand above the pavilion would have been the best and obviously wasn't full.

Do they allow visiting members to sit in their ‘members only’ area?
I wasn't I was saying facing someone who has 6 wickets would be totally fine

He’s more than just a bowler, as GM alluded to, which you chose to ignore.

TBH I didn't ask and just assumed the Members Only areas were out of bounds. Maybe I should have hardened up and had a go? As it went most of the time I sat on the west side of the ground as the view and crack with the locals was canny.

If you're a member of the visiting club aren't you entitled to sit in the host clubs member's areas?
Could be an interesting place to be given this week's turmoil.

You can park inside the ground, entering from Curzon Road.
It used to cost £10 per day and saves trying to find a space in the crowded streets around the ground.
Usually have to pay in advance, but you can purchase parking tickets from inside the ground.
