Changing English T20

[Struts]

Aye and I remember good crowds not so long ago as well.

My brother paid around $18 to watch Melbourne Renegades vs Melbourne Stars a few weeks back at the Ethiad Stadium. Durham charge £15-£20 to watch us in the T20, people aren't going to pay it. Sussex and Surrey charge £20+



The residents have objected numerous times to floodlights at Durham CCC which is massively annoying

Pisses me right off. Miserable bellends should learn that they moved in our patch, not the opposite way round.

Correct me if I'm wrong but do the football pitches out the back where the Durham FA building, have floodlights?

The main one and the 5-a-side court does IIRC.

It was so cheap when I was at the MCG a few years back (think I paid $10) that people were in Bay 13 that were having competitions to see who could get kicked out the quickest and the most times (for stupid things like getting a beach ball out and throwing empty pint glasses in the air) Then paying to get back in and doing it again.

I got kicked out with 10 overs to go... tried to get back in but they'd stopped selling tickets!

The format at the moment is shite. There are loads of ways they can improve it without any teams having to drop out. I'm sick to death of the clamour for 'franchise' cricket over here - it won't work. Folk from Liverpool won't support Manchester just like those from Sunderland wouldn't support a team labelled Newcastle.

I'm yet to see a list of 'franchises' that would keep all counties happy and that is the ultimate aim in terms of getting the necessary votes. Any team who missed out would have to be compensated financially for potential loss of revenue and the only way that would happen is if all money made throughout is shared evenly and I can't see the likes of Middlesex, Surrey, Yorkshire, Lancashire (basically Test Ground based teams) being happy to share money that they've made through their own support and publicity.

For me, play the T20 over 4 weeks of the kids school holidays, so it would be finished by the football seasons start date and it would allow parents to take kids without worrying about them missing any school or being tired for the next day. Have 3 groups of 6 (home and away ties) or 2 groups of 9 (play each team once). Allow 4 overseas players per side - even though some sides will struggle to afford 2. There must also be cheaper tickets made available. £10 maximum for adults, with family offers available - that's one big reason why the BB is popular, the tickets are dirt cheap.
