Is this the extent of the what constitutes CONSULTATION?



04/02

Below are screen grabs of the slides from the presentation of where we stood in August 2024. Since then there has been no "consultation" with members.

Is this a consultation or a presentation?

This week the proverbial sh*t hits the fan.






Dear Member

Thank you to those of you who joined us last Friday for our consultation event relating to The Hundred. We hope that the presentation and subsequent discussion helped to aid your understanding of what is, undoubtedly, a complex topic.


If you were not able to make the event in person, we're providing an opportunity to attend an online version of the forum, to be held on Thursday 15 August from 6pm via Zoom.

  2. Is worrying. Am baffled, tbh. Is this answer really say saying non Hundred staging counties should only play that format, while that competition is taking place ? And they want that, and MC want that. Sort of madness gripping our sport. Cannot see this ending well, if so

    1. Not MCC, but Middlesex CCC (a non-hosting county) want to play County H*ndred during the playing of the Franchise H*ndred in and beyond 2025

  4. Thanks for clarification, it all gets weirder.
    On the question of is The Hundred a success ?
    Attendance wise 2023, compared to 2022 Yes
    TV viewing Big No.
    Profit wise, ECB. claims of a profit appear to exclude genuine costs. So seems No too.

  6. Cut and paste seems to work. Judging by 2023, likely to be months before we have this info for 2024.

  8. "How was it for you ?" The old joke seems to apply after, love making,
    Him "How was it for you Darling ?"
    Her "How was what ?"

  9. Email from the bridge yesterday trying to put a positive spin on next years internationals. Assume the match with Zimbabwe will be a three day one. I know we have the Ashes back in a few years but next year is really poor fare.

  10. Thought we were listed for an India Teat ? We seem to have really got the bum deal of all the Test venues. Slavishly following ECB line has not worked.

  11. Funny thing is, with my medical condition, a smaller crowd Test Match in May will mean my return to Test cricket, God willing, after 18 years.

  12. It's a dreadful allocation for Trent Bridge and what this set up deserves

  13. It was made clear that India did not won't to return toTB as it was not suitable
    For all there requirements

  14. Leicestershire want more members but club membership in 2025 costs £300 (early bird £240), compared with £175 in 2024. With t20 it's £350 (early bird £275) whereas £215 in 2024.

  15. Yes they will be lucky to get the improvements to the pavilion out of the way by the start of the 26 season
    This will be a very complexed project
    I know people were sad regarding international fixture altercation, but India were never coming to a building site at TB
    The top table have long been aware of this situation as the Indian backroom staff
    Including players numbers 100+
    Certain individuals at TB need to be more transparent with there memberships

    Whacking increases in the Leic various Memberships . It’s almost 33% more than this season . Is it a wise move?

    ReplyDelete
  17. To be fair, the news that the pavilion works are set to start in the Autumn, and to continue into next season, might explain lack of India Test match here. Has pavilion extension etc got full planning permission now ?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Sorry, just read the answer is yes.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Just a PS. The rear part of the pavilion, which is to be demolished, is described by the club as recent. It is in photographs from 20s and 30s. Anyone know the date it was built ? As the pavilion was used as a hospital in WW1 suspect it was there then, otherwise would seem to have been to small for that.

  20. Who will renew next season if nothing changes.?

    1. Bit quiet re that question ! Just looked again at plan drawing for "new" Pavilion. Looks like an old East German prison.

  22. Really interesting to read these comments. - on India nor returning and the membership costs.

    I don’t work locally but I can tell you where I do work (Northampton and Buckinghamshire) the locals are very jealous that I get to be a member at Trent bridge. Like it or not the pricing isn’t bad compared with other places.

    ……and the news on Leics today seeking backing is already feeling like the thin end of the wedge…..

  23. I cannot imagine anyone being jealous. I would be surprised if membership passes 1000 this winter

    NOTTS Members could be a problem for the Club in later years .
    A bigger Membership equals a bigger problem ?!
    Leics and Hamps are asking for investment in the Club - from virtually anyone really ! Yorkshire may be going the same way .
    Notts might be tempted sooner than we care to think ?

    1. LCCC members gave their approval without voting away their rights (at this point). I'm sure those Notts supporters with dual memberships (there were quite a few in 2024 for reciprocal reasons) will be able to clarify on here.

      If I read your comment correctly, you are implying that Mr Jarvis is trying to drive the LCCC membership downward so that a fewer number of members equates to a smaller problem to [his plans for] privatisation and demutualisation of the club.

    NOTTS CCC have become much more secretive over the past few years . Just think of all the information Members should have on all sorts of relevant topics - but it doesn’t escape the Pravda regime .
    What are the medium and long term objectives of the Club ?
    Members , given the opportunity , ask far too many awkward questions that the Club prefer not to answer. This happens all the time at the very occasional Members forums . The top table at the last lunchtime forum got pretty aggressive towards the suggestion that changes at the top were well overdue.
    In top successful Companies it is often thought that 10 years is enough for top executives to stay in power . They can often get stale , run out of energy and fresh ideas . Some at Notts have been there far too long . Everyone there with a top job seems quite happy to carry on for years and years regardless of what’s happening on and off the field . I now virtually know what The Doc , P. M. And Lisa are going to say when they stand up to answer a question . They have become the untouchables no matter what happens .

  26. If frozen why not leave renewing until next year as there's no insensitive to do so

    ReplyDelete
  27. Many counties desperate for money
    Most trying every trick to get people to renew memberships before next season
    Hard times ahead for all

    Times are hard !
    And going to get harder
    Sir Starmer has already told us !
    Pick yourself up , dust yerself
    down and start all over again .

  29. After another non event season, why would anyone want to buy a membership for 2025, unless they have nowt better to do.
    Thorough waste of your life watching Notts under this regime.
    Pursehouse must think that the members are as misguided as she is. It's a no from me, I'm afraid.

    1. Don't mistake undying support for the club for support of the Gang of Three regime.

  30. It's now a gang of 4 with chairmen now aboard the TB bus, Lisa's own nominations
    Preference to lead the club

  31. Undying support for the club that's not ours anymore you mean?

  32. I personally will not be going to the metro
    Cup final, & yes it will be the last as players are calling for it to return to lords

    Cricket price hikes ! A sign of the times - with many Counties struggling financially . I wonder if Notts ccc will be the only one of the eighteen Counties to “freeze” their 2025 Membership rates ?
    We all know why Notts have had to do it . Looking forward to visiting the n” new” improved Pavilion - when its ready!
