New signings for clubs

[hutch]

I play for Sunderland and know nothing about this. Only player who has signed who is likely to play 2s is young Dale Shaw from Seaham.

1s have signed Mark Dale from Benwell, have got Mike Robson back after his spell at Notts and have Stokes signed up as our second Durham player. We'll potentially have an 'overseas' batsman available for a spell in the middle of the season too.

Coyne has left us to go to South North, and Skilbeck has signed for Phili.

Is that the kid that was at the Fell a few years back

How do PL clubs afford the pay all these players?

Rich benefactors I take it cos surely they cant take it through gates and sponsors

 

[YES WE GYAN]

Yeah it is. Gone there to keep wicket as he never did for us.

No idea how the finances work tbf. What I do know is that our T20 games are live on the radio this year

Aye but I never knew that. Went to same school as us, good mate of mine.

To YWG - Dench will have signed for your lot like.

Maybe so, haven't heard anything though and haven't seen anyone at training. Our seconds have a fair number of players so there's gonna be a few who miss out on playing on a Saturday.

What does Dench do?

What does Dench do?

Opening bat. Just seems logical that he'd play nearer home.

 

[Jon Snow]

how much does your average paid pro get in the North East leagues

Depends on the club. There's a lot of run-of-the mill, 300 run/35wkt players getting 500-1000 under the table.

"Marquee pros" are getting double or even treble that - sometimes even more. In my opinion in the Coast League, if you're getting £2k plus you need to be taking 70 wickets or scoring 800-1000 runs for me (or scoring 500 runs AND taking 50 wickets); but it rarely happens.

There's some scary rumours coming out of Washington as to how much there's gets - but these are unsubstantiated, and I take them with a pinch of salt! Old Timer - you shed any light on this?

 

[Old Timer]

I have no idea but if I were you I would buy lots of salt!

Fair enough.

There was talk of three year, five figure contracts being bandied about. Pinch of salt taken on the grounds that it would have been ludicrous if true!!

 

[Old Timer]

Some people just like to stir things up.

Some teams in the county league will pay £3000 for their top players but not take promotion because they"cant afford it".

VOR is that true Winn has moved to Brandon?

Not linked by the way!!!

Aye not short of confidence ! played many times against my lad will be a good cricketer at this level for lots of years mate

Derek Parry at Horden was getting 9k around 20 year ago, but then again he was the best

Following on from this, we've finalised the signing of Michael Di Venuto as overseas player. Expected to be available to us during the spell where Durham are playing T20 fixtures.
