Shame it clashes with the football, otherwise I would have gone.

I went to Tod yesterday to see Burnley win through to the final - and it's fantastic to see the two local clubs make it through to the final for the first ever time. Let's hope it is a fantastic day, weather wise, for the final and, from a Burnley perspective, a much closer game at least than Saturday's league game between the two clubs.

I was originally planning on going to the Turf on the Sunday but this beats a friendly surely?

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 1:27 pm

I'll be on the Turf for the football and so I'm going to give the Worsley Cup a miss given it starts at 12:30. Would be half way through by the time I could get there.

Your in big trouble Mr, if you even contenplate the football over a visit to The Brooks - country membership/honorary citizenship may even be revoked.

Oh, as soon as the date for the Cup Final was announced there was never any doubt. Friendly vs One of the biggest matches in LHCC history? No contest.

Actually, an 18 minute feature length video surfaced of it a few month ago.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 3:10 pm

Are Burnley likely to play their big guns?

We wouldn't want another walk over for Lowerhouse now, especially as they have approached Joe Root to be sub pro that day.

Chip Harrison · Post by **Chip Harrison** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 3:24 pm

You couldn't make it up....£4 adults and £2 concessions. Family ticket for 2 adults and 2 concessions £12!

Reminds me of the special offer at our local pub. Buy two pints, bloody pay for two pints.

Where does it say special offer? The league set the prices. The family ticket as stated is to ease congestion at the gate. Four people walk on with one ticket.

I haven’t been to Lancs League cricket for a while...

Is it 50 overs a side.. or something else?

Is it likely to sell out.... will all tickets go?

Is the clubhouse the only place to buy alcohol on the day, or will other bars be available?

Thanks.

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 6:28 pm

It will/probably will sell out.

50 overs a side.

We have many a can bar and possible pop up other bars dotted around the ground.

arise_sir_charge · Post by **arise_sir_charge** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 6:59 pm

Yes there will be plenty of additional bars selling cans and also draught beer hopefully including real ale.

Ticket sales already touching £1,000 3 days in.

Let’s hope Joe Root says yes.

It is brilliantly set up by Frank Enty and his team. Several places to buy food and drink around the ground plus the club has its own resident ice cream man!. They club will also be providing extra stewarding seating and extra toilets around the ground. All the things you would associate and expect with a large event.

It is hard to say whether all tickets will go as the ground effectively doesn't have a capacity. I would say the best way from experience would be to buy a ticket in advance but pay on the day will be an option but will probably involve queuing. For a team of volunteers LHCC handle these events superbly the annual bonfire night being a casing point.

I've purchased 2 tickets via paypal this morning but haven't had an email yet from the club. Assume I can collect them from an outlet using the paypal email as proof of purchase?

arise_sir_charge · Post by **arise_sir_charge** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 7:04 pm

Did you not get a Paypal receipt John?

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 7:22 pm

Hi John,

You’ll have got a PayPal email, I haven’t emailed this afternoons buyers - just sorting now. Will be with you shortly.

On a serious note for sub pro's, I see Nathan Buck has tweeted his availability for Saturday if you're stugging.
Lancs/Worcs 2nd team fast bowler.

I'm sure Haggers would recommend him from his game at Padiham.

arise_sir_charge · Post by **arise_sir_charge** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 7:59 pm

Thanks for that, no game Saturday and sorted for Sunday but I will bear him mind for future weeks.
