Quarter Final Ticket Prices:
At Edgbaston - free to members and £10 for adults
At Old Trafford - free to members and £12 for adults
At The Oval -free to members and £15 for adults
At Taunton - Dependent on where you sit with a bewildering number of over- complicated packages, £33 (correction) - £60 for an adult.
For a category "c" seat and a paella thrown-in it's £43 - as I said wildering prices only seen in isolation as you click on each stand. Seats do seem to be reservered for paella fans over everyone else in those category "c" stands.
I would say Taunton are little out of step with everyone else. Traveling Derbyshire supporters will however get a taste of their own medicine, as they like to hike their prices when certain counties visit Derby.
Yorkshire Handed T20 Quarter Final Place by ECB
Leicestershire have been deducted 2 points[click] for breach of "on-field rules", today!
This hands Yorkshire Vikings their much needed (financially) Q/F place on a silver platter. No need for it to be earned on the field today.
If all pending offences were committed in the T20, then perhaps it is appropriate to take action during the current competition, but if not...
Foxes do appear to be racking up these discipline infringements, is it the case that they're pushing the envelope to play "above themselves" urged-on by their ultra combative coach, Paul Nixon?
Double whammy?
Two waist-high full tosses woud already cost them runs (in a game that they won only by the narrow margin of 1 run) and the withdrawal from bowling of their overseas strike bowler. Is that not enough punishment?
My main problem with this is it punishes the supporters and its not their fault. I bet ‘Nicko’ is spitting feathers.
ReplyDeleteThe usual modus operandi would be for Leicester to start next season on minus 2. Supporters, what supporters? There wasn't many of those at Grace Road and at TB just the foul-mouthed idiots made themselves known. Any good work that might have been done in attracting very fans,now knocked back!
DeleteTo those wondering whether to watch county cricket, off putting.
ReplyDeleteAlmost as though certain people want exactly that.
Foxes had been accruing demerits over the past couple of years, chickens came home to roost in the Foxes' den, as it were. Shame it had to be before the game or even this season as it devalues all the other matches in the group and in Notts' case leaves several what ifs(?) as result kind of went our way.
DeleteI’m sure you’ll like this one Rich, got the impression although joined halfway through Corky’s rant on SKY that IF Derbyshire qualify for a home qtr final it will not be played at their home county ground as the scheduling clashes with them holding a pop concert at their ground also
ReplyDeleteSo would Trent Bridge gets a Q/F after all - ha ha kerching
DeleteIndeed do.
DeleteSwearing ? Pretty common out there.
Waist high full tosses ? Never heard of points deduction for that, umpire could have called no ball or dead ball
Almost backfired on the clever dick money men , bet they were sweating a bit at one point. Foxy
DeleteRe Nottsview article, he did, should have been case closed. It stinks to be honest.
ReplyDeleteYes, its rather ironic that its the Derbyshire supporters being badly stung due to their own club charging higher admission prices when they host us and Yorkshire I believe also. The ordinary group game t20s are expensive at Taunton.
ReplyDeleteNo away support allocation, so they've got paella with cider or paella and no cider as their options
DeleteAll gets stranger, re above !
ReplyDeleteAs David Hopps points out on "Cricinfo", today's semi, putting aside whether Yorks should even be there, could be without several key players, due to England commiments.
Rashid on his way to Mecca. Clearly county cricket long ceased to be the "Mecca" of cricket.
Yes Rich, at least the qtrs are straight after the group games for once and not a month long wait whilst the counties then switch formats, but the downside this time is they clash with Englands T20 AND ODI series matches versus India
ReplyDeleteEverything always seems to come back to the Quinton de Kock up involving a certain new tournament played in August which messes up the domestic fixtures even further now there’s 4 separate competitions to fit into the calendar.
It will be interesting whether Strauss&Co still feel the need for this ‘radical change’ they’re promising us now almost the very same Test players are suddenly winning matches against two of the strongest Test sides in the world ?
