still not sure what you mean? Going home, I had the choice of 4 trains in the space of an hour to get back to Newcastle. Only one was direct to Morpeth (via Newcastle) though so hung around for that one.

I fell asleep on Saturday afternoon in the big stand next to the scoreboard. Prices of food and drink were a piss take....£2.50 for a f***ing ice cream ffs!

Were you on acid or something, why would you leave over an hour before the close of play.

I was reckoning on a 7pm finish and wasn't really confident that the light would last that long anyway. When I rang for my lift at 5:30 the Aussies were only one down so there didn't seem much danger

Worked all 4 days and loved every second of it....had some great craic with the fans and some of players (look at me etc).
Prices are nothing to do with DCCC, and they probably didn't break even to stage the event.
Anyone see the honey monster on Monday.......comedy at its best

Hilarious when they were rolling down the steps, then the stewards came over and honey monster dissapeard into the crowd and popped out at the top of the standTheres was a clip of him getting rugby tackled by Kermit the Frog in the end of test montage on Sky
Aye he was quality and essential viewing at that point as the Aussies looked to waltzing it.
One on the best days entertainment ever for me. Well worth the £80 spent.
From Durham not CLS I assume
Not sure what you mean by this...the profit from these Test matches funds cricket across the country for the year...at £80 a pop there was huge profits made

Yeah, we had a few squares in our stand too complaining about the 4 vicars. I thought they did a great job in keeping people entertained. I was proud of DCC, CLS and the North-East in general. The atmosphere for the last session was absolutely superb. The Honey Monster kept popping up and was piss funny eating his sugar puffs much to the stewards' distaste. I think the stewards did a grand job in keeping the peace and letting those that wanted to have fun, have their fun. When people complained they were quick to move in and stop the offender or kick them out.
At the end of the day, if jacket wearing spectators want cheese and port with a quiet atmosphere then they shouldn't get the cheaper tickets in the lively stand. It is made clear on point of purchase.

was talking to a very senior member(not naming) who told me unless it went to a 5th day the club wouldn't make a profit.[DOUBLEPOST=1376404207][/DOUBLEPOST]

Absolutely faultless.
Brilliant 4 days. Pisses over going to the football and see a load of idiots shout at the players.

aye but they had a shuttle bus from Durham so anyone going from/to Newcastle used the shuttle bus. That's what I did. Never been to CLS but I'm guessing Durham is bigger(?) so it makes sense to make Durham the main station with a very reliable shuttle bus service.
Know what you mean. But newcastle was carnage first thing. Trains locked etc with people squeezed against windows.

Anyone see the honey monster climb up the fence next to the water stand outside block 35? Climbed up and raised both hands as he sat on top of this fence. Within seconds, it collapsed and he ended up on the wrong side of the fence. Everyone was in fits of laughter as the realisation set in that he was trapped. Stewards came over, shifted the fence and let him back in![DOUBLEPOST=1376407728][/DOUBLEPOST]
that's not good. Perhaps, in hindsight, Durham should have made it clear to use Durham station for journeys like Newcastle. As I said, we had 4 trains come in within an hour which was great. Platform only began to fill up as the next train rolled in.
