I can remember that incident in the Trapdoor.
When the steward approached at first I thought he was going to say, "Oi you! No Co Durham Upper riff raff in this stand!"

With Geoff Cook's team.
You can only compare like-for-like and he was worse than Franklin in Div 2.
Franklin got us back on the right track, but he was a miserable git who lost the dressing room.

Heard a rumour at the ground last week that it may be Bedingham’s place he fills
Obviously I hope that isn’t true, but I hear Bedingham was pissed off at not being involved in the Blast because it limited his chance of showcasing his talents and therefore picking up a lucrative offer in the franchise world, so may seek alternative options for next year…

As opposed to now, when it's just "nobody in this stand!"I can remember that incident in the Trapdoor.

You are right of course but there is nothing offensive on that flag, only truth.

Franklin was awful. He didn't get anything on the right track hence he was sacked, he sent us backwards. Players couldn't stand him and neither could the coaches. It's quite remarkable what Campbell has done in the red ball game. He's given the players freedom, they're allowed to make mistakes without fear and feedback is constructive instead of destructive which is what it was with Franklin. Nobody liked him and he shouldn't get any credit etc for this year.

Bostock and Campbell said last week they’re targeting an overseas pace bowler for next year - which IMO is exactly what we need. Potts and Raine have 51 wickets apiece in this season’s Championship and Carse is genuinely international class but of course the big issue with he and Potts is availability. Being able to guarantee that the line is being lead by a couple of international level bowlers every game next season is a must.
Don’t feed the troll.

Franklin and North completely rebuilt the team. The batting was appalling and, without Rushworth and the greentops at CLS, we'd have been lucky to win any games at all.
Last season, and in 2021, we were the better team in most our games but failed to convert performances into results.
It's like SAFC where the last manager is always the worst one ever. Dismissed for good reason, but I can appreciate the things he achieved.

Should unfurl that on the lap of honour at the end of the Leicestershire match.

Wouldn't be surprised if one of the usual suspects have tapped him up for next season.
Not true.

That'll upset a few on another thread on this forum
Rushworth would still be here if it wasn't for them. Campbell deserves the credit. We were appalling to watch under Franklin
5 WINS IN 14 CC - 2019
0 WINS IN 5 CC - 2020 - Bob Willis Trophy. Botton of table
3 WINS IN 10 - 2021 - Bob Willis Trophy - Didn't qualify
1 WIN IN 3 - 2021 - Bob Willis Group
1 WIN IN 10 CC - 2022
42 GAMES, 10 WINS. Absolutely shite.
he rebuilt nothing, more dismantled things, forced players out, killed the morale on and off the field. Bloke was a complete disaster.

I was told from a lad who played a game or two with him at Gateshead Fell that his shoulder (might be his back) was goosed so they kept him out the side to give that a break. This also covers why he wasn’t considered to keep in the ODC.

I’d love to see him again next season, and hopefully Jones can find his form. Those two and Lees can be formidable on their day.

Ryan Campbell: How ‘master blaster’ turned Durham into run machine
Durham’s remarkable rise from sixth place in Division Two last year to the runaway leaders this summer, and with it certain promotion, can be traced to the side’s new Bazball-type mentality of their own. That is the view of Marcus North, the former Australia Test batsman, who has been the...www.thetimes.co.uk
