Durham v Essex. Attendance arrangements.


I dont know about trying to avoid bringing a bag mind - virtually everyone brings one to a County Championship match - top coat, raincoat, brolly, suncream, sunglasses, woolly jumper, flask, sarnies, cakes, Playfair Annual etc etc.

Gates opening at 9.30am - wasnt so long ago they used to open at 9am as The Magistrate was always first in.😁

How can you not bring a bag to an all day cricket match?

I would generally have binoculars, raincoat, battery phone chargers, blankets, reading material and food and drink appropriate to my various health conditions. Am I supposed to smuggle them up my arse?

I take less than that on a week abroad!
 
Well three days to go to the Riverside Return after 612 days away (611 for those who turned up for the hour of play we got on the 2nd day of the Glamorgan game way back in September 2019 :D)

I've got an eye on the weather - Thursday seems its dull but dry, Friday looks a bit iffy with the best two days being the weekend but we all know that can change.

Cant wait for the match tbh and to see some of the old faces and it looks as if even my beloved Trapdoor Stand may be open.

Gates open at 9.30 and I'll have a stroll down for round about that time along with my holdall.:lol:

Anyone else planning to attend?

Met office have a more favourable forecast at the moment for Friday. I'm off all 4 days so plan to attend
 
OT for me for the Roses match Thursday and Friday and possibly Sunday weather and match situation permitting (and ticket availability) Can. Not. Wait.
 
I'm there first two days from ball one and working on a cunning plan for a pass for Saturday. Hopefully allowed to spend a bit of time hanging over the railings in front of the gym. Then a stroll down to the sight screen to here who the hanging judge is giving it to this summer. Champion I can't wait!
