The problem is with their quality of bowling attack, and our hit and miss top order, they might not have to score too many regularly. To me the Ashes is dependent on whether we can get a fit Mark Wood, and Archer on the plane, and have them available for 5 tests. Their attack is an ageing one, but ...

For anyone getting picked up/taxi after the gig. The whole of Middleton road is closed. We were supposed to be collected from Sainsbury's at J19 but the taxi couldn't get there. Might be better being collected from Prestwich.

We got the train to Victoria and then straight on the tram from there to Heaton park.

Just got home from the gig and would like to mention what a joyous atmosphere. A mix of mid-forties (me) desperate to see them for one last time and re-live 1996

And
Loads of teens/early 20's who had clearly had these songs ingrained in their childhood.

The band were decent too.

These gigs are as much for the kids who never saw them first time round as they are for the middle aged blokes who stopped listening to new music in 1998.

Exactly.
Four of us going today.
3 mid-forties & 1x 18 year old. Just as it should be.

How Crawley and Bashir have managed to stay in that side is crazy. Both part of the long term 'project ashes'. They must fancy Bashir as the spinner with the best chance of success in Oz.

At a cost of £45m quite a few years ago.

Yep. And we've spent about 1/4 of that on the CFS just to keep it operational with no additional benefits. Really does highlight the lack of forward planning with regards this stand.

Transpennine

It does, but the players dressing rooms aren't in there, they're at the other side of the ground..personally, I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of shared stands like that, but if that's the only potential option we've got, it needs locking into. That's true about the changing rooms. But it's an example o...

Doesn't Headingley have a similar set up & a double sided stand for the cricket & the rugby?

It does. They've recently rebuilt that stand for that exact purpose. Seats on both grounds with shared corporate facilities in the middle. Its an excellent setup and generates income all year round.

Can see it now. Camera man gets clouted (or the player collides with and gets injured!) I like the idea of the interview with subs.

Agree about the disgusting levels of money. But let's not pretend its the working man's game; especially in Saudi, where football is the antithesis of that idea.

When Des Lynam presented the hour long MOTD. 50 minutes of the show was football, two 20 minute highlights, 10 minutes of goals from the other division one games.

There is the perfect reason why Lancashire should have taken their games around the county more, rather then play at an empty Old Trafford, or in the future play some at a characterless, newly built ground. There's a plethora of quality grounds in the county that could easily host a first class gam...

Well, you've answered your own question then, clearly people do watch county cricket, albeit in relatively low numbers. Not helped by the fact they frequently play Monday to Thursday mind.

The evidence is overwhelming, there is more demand for tickets at all games(home and away)since the 1960's. Your two positions are inconsistent 1. Ruin the atmosphere - if the ground is 30,000 and 29,000 tickets sold that will ruin the atmosphere? hmm 2. End up filled by away fans. - Who cares? Bes...

The club is experiences the highest demand for ticket since the 1960s. Again, i ask, why are you afraid on potentially empty seats?

I can never understand the weird obssesion with potentially having empty seats, there are people on here who would be happy with a 10k ground as long as it was full. The club needs to sort the two new stands out first and foremost. The legroom is terrible, no protection from the elements. If we're ...

That can be solved by gifting them a large sum to be invested, with the interest etc. generating an annual income in perpetuity.
