Yes I've been neglecting the Blaze, my lack of interest probably the cause of that. I did manage to catch the back end of one game last week, a home win at The Coop aka Derby but that to me says it all.
Nottinghamshire are unable to commit to the Blaze, so why should Blaze commit to Nottinghamshire?
Just don't tell me that they are my team!
It appears that the Blaze are doing OK in their piggy-back Blast competition.
It would appear some teams are more elite than others.

Another T20 Competition, a Blazing Bear Tie
26/05
The Blaze reach their first semi-final of this season with a Finals Day appearance for the T20 County Cup today at Taunton, against Lancashire Thunder.
A straight knock-out competition is what Men's cricket is lacking but not in the T20 format eh.
Pravda has hardly mentioned the Blaze reaching this round of the competition which which has flown under even their radar.

Match tied at Beckenham v Surrey
Blaze play a County Cup T20 game against Oxfordshire at Lady Bay Sports Ground on Saturday, 2.30PM.
Pravda advises, bring your own food, drink and seating but there will (now) be toilets.
So have they planted some more shrubbery?
Free to spectate and parking is on a first come first served free for all at the site.
County Cup, so why can't The Blaze identify as Nottinghamshire?
Today the Blazes are at Beckenham in a 50 over game with Kent Surrey Women and tomorrow Blaze 2s are at the Bay for 2 T20 games with Lancashire Thunder 2s, if the Thunder has been retained.

Prices aren't comparable to men's matches...
Now that the schools are back, a bargain price for 2 adults of £2.75?

81 NOT OUT
ReplyDeleteEven at those prices it will probably be difficult to get a decent crowd in for the match . I reckon they will be quite happy with an attendance of 800-1000. Perhaps the double header matches give a false impression of the attraction and demand for women’s cricket 🏏!
Hopefully the interest will slowly grow and bigger stand alone crowds will develop .
Going to try to get down there if weather behaves, bit iffy in Bridgford now (half eight), though has stopped raining.
ReplyDeleteThere lies the trap of low, low prices. If the weather is rubbish, with a ticket or without a ticket, you're more likely not to bother. The emotional attachment has to be backed-up by a need for value for money. When you don't even have any emotional attachment to The Blaze and entry is free with your membership, nah you're not going to bother. Lady Bay holds more attraction with the 2s for the average Notts fan.

ReplyDeleteSo what was the attendance for today’s Blaze match at TB ?
Perhaps Kevin could give us a number...
DeleteWas there, do not have number, but seemed reasonable. Very odd decision to close 2 of the stands close to the action, and keep open 2 where people needed a telescope to see the play ! Love the pun re Ms Lamb !
