    I guess it is expensive when compared, but even if i get to see 20 days from 39 cricket then its about £12 per day. And I get to spend loads of time watching cricket with my Dad :)

    For those daft enough to want to watch the 2nd XI there is a T20 game being played in Barnsley - presume at Shaw Lane on 2nd July. Weather permitting I'll wander down from work to watch that, then wobble home to Wombwell.

    Can’t believe that the CC season is starting this Friday. Far too early. It’s now just an afterthought, shoved into whatever corner it can be fitted in favour of all this franchise b0110cks.

    A crying shame, and no doubt contributing to the slow demise of test match cricket.

    Oh don't get me wrong, county cricket's good value. But a membership at Notts is around £50 cheaper and Lancs £35ish then look at Friday's fixtures...

    Lancs v Surrey

    Notts v Essex

    Yorks v Leicestershire!!!!

    The county game seems an after-thought already which obviously isn’t going to help test cricket

    Didn't get bought this year. Shame he's sat doing nothing and not decided he would like to play some county games.

    In other news Josh Hoyle has signed for Almondbury Wesleyans. It will be paid for by the profit from the Michael Ball concert that's happening there on Father's Day :D

    North West Cricket leagues have delayed the start of the season.
    Looking at the pitch here at Shaw Lane, any game is going to be a soggy affair at best.
    Will it ever stop raining?

    Yep. And in their infinite wisdom, the ECB have all the northern counties playing at home in the first round of fixtures....
