Right now we have now an vital message from Alan Higham of the Lancs Motion Group. They’re organising a marketing campaign to withstand the upcoming modifications to the county championship. Anybody can get entangled, whoever you help, just by filling of their brief survey beneath. Each little helps so please assist! County Cricket Issues and different publications / blogs are doing their bit so I’d love TFT readers to contribute as effectively. Thanks.
The ECB, followers, counties, gamers and the media all agree that the cricket schedule is a large number. There are too many video games and too many codecs asking an excessive amount of of the gamers, spectators and the bottom employees!
The schedule was at all times difficult however because the Hundred was added final 12 months, it’s merely ridiculous. The straightforward answer to only take away the Hundred gained’t even be talked about so what’s being thought of by the ECB big-wigs amidst Strauss’s “Excessive Efficiency Evaluate”?
A number of media stories counsel a drop from 14 to 10 top quality county matches is a favoured possibility. That would depart county followers simply 5 residence top quality matches a 12 months, most likely in April and September.
Subsequent 12 months’s Ashes Checks are on account of full earlier than the top of July. Are they actually going to schedule no top quality cricket in any respect to talk of in the course of the college summer time holidays? What a shame in the event that they do!
Therefore, I’m organising a grassroot marketing campaign to provide cricket followers a say earlier than it’s too late. County members personal 15 of the 18 counties. We’ve till the top of September to assemble collectively sufficient individuals to say no to any additional reductions within the top quality sport. In any other case, the counties will simply resolve all of it quietly throughout October/November while we’re worrying about our gas payments.
Throughout the counties, followers are handing out leaflets and sharing the survey on-line to assemble help to insist that their county respects their views and states its place on the schedule earlier than the season ends.
Each cricket fan may give their view within the brief survey beneath. You don’t need to be a member however we want to know if you’re.
