Durham Cricket are pleased to confirm that the club’s Royal London Cup fixture against Gloucestershire will form part of the Scarborough Five Counties Cricket Week and be held at North Marine Road, the home of Scarborough Cricket Club.
Durham Cricket is delighted to be playing one of its RL50 games there next summer.
The fixture against Gloucestershire on Tuesday 21 July will be part of the seven day cricket week starting with Yorkshire v Nottinghamshire on Sunday ending with Yorkshire v Warwickshire on Friday 24 July.
Durham Cricket will be organising transportation from Emirates Riverside direct to North Marine Road. Details of how to book your place will be announced in the new year.
We advise anyone wishing to stay in Scarborough to book accommodation immediately as hotel accommodation will be limited due to demand for the fixtures.
Durham and Scarborough members have free admittance to all parts of the ground with access to the pavilion. With full tickets prices available at £12 in advance and £15 on the gate, under 16s are free if accompanied by an adult. Advanced tickets can be purchased on 01723 365625.
Scarborough Cricket Club do not operate a reserved seating service so there is no requirements for members to book their seats in advance
Durham v Gloucestershire in Yorkshire, cricket is just getting weirder probably because it's run by so called business people. They have no cricket in their souls.
ReplyDeleteWhat next ?
ReplyDeleteThe mind boggles.
What about the supporters who cannot travel / especially the older ones without transport /
PS - I saw the bit about transport being laid on . But is it the thin end of the wedge
WHEN IS A HOME GROUND NOT A HOME GROUND ?
And Grantham is in Lincolnshire!

ReplyDeleteI lived in Yorkshire in the early 70s, was born in Hull and Mum and Dad, much missed, lived near Scarborough in retirement. North Marine Road,is my second favourite ground after Trent Bridge. However this seems a further weakening of County Cricket, but as said above, we are not in too good a position to complain. Or at least our Executive are not
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite grounds too.great place to watch cricket as are many out grounds (but not ours).chesterfield,Horsham,tunbridge wells,Cheltenham too name a few.some like Maidstone no longer on the circuit (I think Horsham may of gone now as well)
ReplyDeleteAgree with Rich ; Scarborough is wonderful. Trent Bridge is my favourite Test ground for County Cricket.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think it is that odd Durham playing at Scarborough; think many of their supporters will enjoy that day out. Not as odd as Lancashire playing home games at Sedbergh , which much as I love the place, is in Yorkshire as far as I’m concerned ; never recognised Cumbria even though it happened in 74.
And Chester le Street home of Lancashire Lightning
DeleteIndeed. Lancs incompetent website even managed to wrongly announce last year’s group game against Derbyshire as being played at Riverside too
