Tbh mate, I've never really given it a go, bit of a technophobe at times. I was thinking of working down there Friday but decided it would just be easier to go Saturday instead
I wouldn't take your laptop into the Member's Lounge mate as you'll probably find yourself on trial for dabbling in 'strangye magick'
I thought that but then my thought was, I might as well just stay at home with YouTube on, it’ll be the same thing but without petrol. I suppose it depends on the job and if you need to be constantly glued to the laptop.
Tell them you're the scorer but the usual room is out of commission.I wouldn't take your laptop into the Member's Lounge mate as you'll probably find yourself on trial for dabbling in 'strangye magick'
. I’ll ask at the shop on Friday
Just got the e mail about the digital membership card. Bit rubbish that I can’t save it to my Apple wallet in the same way I have my SAFC season ticket. The instructions say
In order to access your ticket offline, don't forget to store it on your mobile phone. When the ticket is displayed on your screen, click on the button "Open in..." and select an application that can store a file on your device. This may be iBooks, Files & Adobe for Apple devices. This may be My Files or Downloads for Android devices.
Problem is I can’t see an “open in” button
You can do the Yorkshire game if you wish.
@The Red Telephone does quality reviews.
gutted i couldn't make it..... some idiot decided to book a fibre broadband install in between 1-6 today
Welcome back Bedders message on the club website but no mention of Doggett which is a bit of a worry. Looks as if Hogg is going to play which is exciting. Rhodes doesn't look good enough even to be the 4th seamers so be interesting to see the composition of the final X1.At the request of @wayne entwhistle no9 ,whose time in charge was even less than BFS as England manager, I'm back for this one only! Well after our hugely disappointing defeat against Notts its a chance to kick-start our season against Warwickshire at the Riverside on Friday.
We should see the return of David Bedingham after his South African jaunt as well as the debut of South Australian Brendan Doggett and let's hope he can continue where he left off in the Sheffield Shield Final where he took 11 wickets in the final. Who will make way ? well I imagine it will be Clark and Coggs although the former will consider himself hard done by after scoring 45 and 62 if he is dropped as the rest of our batsmen with the honourable exception of the excellent Ackers didn't exactly cover themselves in glory. If it were down to me I would have Robinson in at 7 as his form doesn't justify coming in two places higher in the order.
As for our opponents - we didn't play them at Ch le St last season only at Edgbaston in the snore draw that saw The Bears declare on 698-3 with a certain Will Rhodes on 178no. They are captained by Alex Davies who got 256 in that match although in their drawn game against Sussex today he had forsaken the wk gloves in favour of Kai Smith. We should have been watching the return of ex Durham opener Tom Latham but the Kiwi broke his hand recently and is out and the one and only legend that is Rushy missed the Sussex game with a calf injury and will more than likely be missing the game against the team he gave so much to for all those years. There will be one former Durham player however in the shape of Sri Lankan bowler Vishwa Fernando who played a cameo role in our Div 2 Championship winning side I 2023. Also injured is Olly Hannon Dalby who is always a threat.
The weather looks really good on Friday and Saturday (what a change from last season eh folks?) with the chance of an odd shower on Sunday and Monday.
Saturday will probably see the debut of Mrs RT as a Durham member so if you see a bloke trying to explain why the batting side has only two players on the field while the fielding side has eleven...Well that will be me!
As ever Haway Durham !!
