England vs Australia T20 at Riverside

[Struts]

Why are we playing Australia again. Three summers on the bounce they'll have been here.

I was meaning more the potential if sales are poor, they may forgo any games really and they are quite a revenue stream. But horses for courses

The football cricket fans will ensure it sells out. Friday night.... Be full of piss heads.... £££ for the club.

Enjoy. It will be good for the new cricket fans & the ones who go for the piss up. It's who the format is aimed at. Give me 4 days of Durham anyday. Make sure you spend plenty of £££ though. Good to see you starting to enjoy cricket.

Oh I don’t think I’ll be there . It’s the day before England’s quarter final if we top the group in Euro 2020.

World Cup got me back into it, hadn’t done an England game since 2011 (or Durham since 2013), enjoying it as much if not more than football currently.

Wow....

 

[Brett]

Cheapest £50 , ridiculous

 

[Struts]

I'd pay that for an ODI or Test but a T20? Fuck that!

 

[Chappers]

We talked about going but not a hope in hell for that price

 

[Tongey]

Poor those prices. £40 would have been fair enough with more expensive at £50.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Is that £55 for the trapdoor stand??

 

[leecoo]

Jesus wasn't expecting it to be that much

thought £40 was about right

 

[The Red Telephone]

Is that £55 for the trapdoor stand??

Oh yes!

 

[leecoo]

There's the same fixture getting played at old Trafford and headingley all in the space of a week. Don't think its going to be a quick seller at those prices

 

[stephen cartwright]

That’s a ridiculous price and I’m just wondering if the FTECB, will use a half empty ground to justify stopping Durham having any type of England fixture again

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

No surprise. They did the same for a T20 vs the Saffas (2012?) and there were loads of half price deals going on the week before the game.

I'll not be going.

Mind you a couple of things to factor. How much are the ECB charging Durham? Given that Durham aren't part of this Hundred competition , we need to find money from somewhere, plus we are still banned from hosting test cricket thanks to our friends at the ECB. I won't be attending the game, it is expensive but maybe some reasoning as to why such prices.

£39 more than I paid for West Indies Vs Sri Lanka in the World Cup 50 over just recently. Not cheap

We are not just banned but permanently prevented for being considered.
