Membership Matters

 



Today Pravda reminds us of he benefits of membership...

Membership Benefits:

 

  • Ground admission

Entry for every day of home cricket in the Vitality County Championship, in the group stages of the One-Day Cup, the Vitality Blast and all of The Blaze’s scheduled fixtures held at Trent Bridge.

 Isn't this what you paid for?

  • Priority access

To international tickets, Trent Rockets' home games and domestic knock-out fixtures at Trent Bridge.

 Isn't this what a lot of members expect, and buy their membership to gain in the first place?

  • Reciprocal entry

Free admission to County Championship cricket at Somerset, Essex, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Leicestershire, Hampshire and Lancashire*, excluding when Notts are the visitors.

*Emirates Old Trafford only. Not applicable for any Nottinghamshire members who live within 15 miles of OId Trafford.

 The time is long over due when if you are a member of any FCC, then you should gain free access to any first class county game, anywhere regardless of which county are the visitors.

  • Covered

Free subscription to our official club magazine.

 With all the cutting edge journalistic content of ....

Pravda
  • Book borrowing

Take your pick of our array of cricket literature in the Wynne-Thomas Library.

 What is the purpose of a library?

  • Free ground tour

Take the Trent Bridge Tour once a season, and you need not pay us a penny for the privilege.

 Might be useful this time around if half the ground is closed off?

  • Free passes

Four passes for guests to join you in member facilities on selected Notts matchdays, if they’ve purchased a match ticket.

 Then again if the members facilities have been bulldozed...

  • Member discounts

Deals and discounts on County Championship hospitality, and if you’re celebrating a special occasion with us.

 For those with money to burn

  • Voting rights

Exclusive voting rights and invitations to members’ forums and AGMs.

Don't get me started.  Zero vote or voice in the vital decision making currently happening...

Can all members kindly cross their fingers in the hope that Tom Moores gets drafted for the 2025 H*ndred.

    Must be long overdue for Notts Members be admitted free to Derbyshire 4 day games - apart from if Notts are the visitors . What’s the problem with Derby ? Their ground is often virtually deserted during County games . A few Notts Members shouting banter and encouragement might liven things up a little.
    With the current rocketing cost of living crisis - prices rising way above official figures- then even with the Pavilion out of bounds the Notts Membership still represents good value overall . The senior Members price is almost too cheap considering the total number of days play it entitles them to see .
    What do others on here think about Notts membership value for 2025?

    1. Welcome back 81*, Notts membership is one of the best value county cricket memberships around and has been for years, certainly better value than the Derbyshire pricing, which is the reason that they don't offer a reciprocal arrangement with us. If you are lived in west Nottingham or east Derbyshire and were a fan of championship cricket and wasn't bothered about T20, and their was a reciprocal deal, where would you buy your membership? Obviously that is why no reciprocal exists now.

      If the ECB fixed the price of all memberships and made universal reciprocals at all Championship venues, fans would still purchase memberships from THEIR county, not only for the white ball access but also because they support that county.

    2. Notts membership is not good value at all. When you consider the full picture.

    3. Please explain and identify which memberships you consider to be better value.

  3. 81 NOT OUT . Let’s face it . We all know it deep down . The game of cricket is changing fast . The genie is out of the bottle and there is no way of getting it back in . Those who cannot accept the changes will probably never venture down to T B ever again .

  4. 81 NOT OUT .Reading between the lines it’s now just a question of a damage limitation excercise . The game of cricket in the UK needs a big cash injection in order for all the Counties to survive . I don’t think any one disputes that .The lovers of traditional cricket will just have to fight as hard as they can to preserve the vital aspects of the game- basically it’s a matter of preserving as much of the longer form as possible .
