Another season of shite performances in a ground that’s dropping to bits with million pound pints!! Somehow I keep coming back though….

Mixed feelings about the T20. To me the format is very stale and Durham doesn’t really seem to care about it all that much.
£5 for kids £16 for adults

The format of the Blast is stale. It should be 2 divisions with relegation & promotion.
Yeah this is a good point. As it stands the league means nothing. It’s not like the championship where losing means relegation

Women’s game at 1pm, Men at 5pm according to the ECB calendar
Not sure how much people care about promotion and relegation though. It hasn’t allowed a hierarchy to develop in the first class game in the way that it does in football. I think something more drastic was needed 5 to 10 years ago to move it closer to the model of what seems to work better elsewhere to revamp effectively.
And unfortunately for the Blast, English cricket chose a different route of supplementing it with a new top tier regional franchise competition. This is the model Welsh rugby followed. Welsh rugby is on the bones of its arse these days. With no one really bothering to watch the obviously second tier club stuff any more, but with the public not really that bought into the regional franchises either.

I agree with you and I think the problem is also down to how the grounds decide to present the matches. Durham for example has a record of irritating white ball fans and not really hitting the mark at bringing in new support. The clown on the mic is often very unprofessional and the music between overs soon becomes repetitive.

If its anything like some of the Membership season cards for last season you'll probably get it for the third game.

Finals day is already sold out.
I agree the groups should not be regionalised anymore that is the stale part watching the same 5 counties for the last 20 years.
A fa cup style draw to decide the groups.
