CC : Durham v Essex

[The Red Telephone]

I worry that it’s a nod to what Bostock said, that financially it would be better to play Championship games in the bubble. Meaning keeping matchgoing supporters up to date becomes secondary.

The events at the ground on Friday (and to a slightly lesser extent yesterday) would seem to confirm this school of thought. It's as if we are increasingly little more than an inconvenience.

Be more correctly titled
Spectator misinformation given that they omit to mention that half the ground is inaccessible,yearbooks aren't available

My wife got her yearbook yesterday, they opened a new box of them.

Forecast looks to be improving later but likely to be too late to get any play today.

Happy to take a draw against this lot, they look the class side so far this season.

Live stream?

There's probably one somewhere on the outfield

Will be interesting to see if I get a reply from our Membership Services Officer about how poorly we're being treated.

It does and it’s more baffling than anything to me when you consider how professional their coverage of games is on the live stream, how professional their interviews with players are and the production of promo videos and whatnot.

All of that excellent social media performance, yet they forget the important things like squadlists before games and prospects of play, etc.

Your last paragraph agreed totally, my views are the same as @The Red Telephone I just feel at the moment we are a massive inconvenience to the hierarchy at the club which is unfortunate

Yesterday in the Sticky Wicket while we were having breakfast one of the groundstaff was in whinging on about the lower bowl being opened to spectators saying it was unfit for purpose. The only thing unfit for purpose was the repairs not being carried out.

It’s still raining in Burnopfield (and the Met Office forecast is the same as CLS)

@The Red Telephone what’s your expert local opinion?

 

[essex boy]

I am one of the 78 watching the live stream, which is the covers being firmly on and nowt else happening

They didn’t show anywhere near the same level of keenness to get play during the Hampfrica game.
