[Cricket] Durham v Sussex

Jimmy Grimble · Aug 25, 2018

Just seen the post match interviews on Sky - not once did the Durham captain moan about the Stokes LBW decision.

Imagine a similar scenario in football where the best player suffers a perceived injustice? You'd get nothing else from the captain/manager other than slating the officials post match.

Showed some real class there.

And for once Sky has worked in our favour with no match on Finals Day thanks to Southampton (a) on the Monday. Off to Edgbaston we go.....

Good luck with getting tickets..

I also saw the pre-game interview with Mark Wood - came across very well. Plus the Durham lads applauded Evans' 50 which must have been hard. Durham are now my official 2nd team - anyone who plays and watches cricket in sub-Artic conditions deserves all the support they can get.

Looking at the website last night there are only a couple of single seats left

Sussex’s allocation of around 1,000 tickets hasn’t gone on sale yet.

Fair point and also this week saw all the Derby guys applaud century from Ben Brown in county game, not talking high 5's and major hands over head applause but respect, especially as they were on top of game till Brown scored his ton. One of the reasons I love the sport, even if i fear for its future

Totally agree. The county championship has been written off more times than I've had hot dinners but it survives and provides a great back-drop to the summer. I'm of an age where it was just about the only show in town - I started watching cricket when the old Gillette Cup was in its early days. Who'd have thought (at the time) that limited overs formats would become the main course and not just a side dish. Looking on the bright side, there's something for everyone now and as long as England can keep filling the grounds for home Tests, re-filling the county coffers, getting a good deal from the TV companies then the texture of county cricket might be preserved for years to come.

Sussex to play Somerset in the semi

Club only getting 500 tickets sold direct from Edgebaston. Looks like you need to be a T20 Blast ST holder and need to receive an e-mail tonight to be able to buy one.

£76 for adults.

Disgraceful allocation.

Disappointing when we clearly have more T20 Blast Membership holders than tickets. I have not received my email yet, also in previous years I am sure I have bought friends tickets, wanted 4 this year but may only get mine.

Horton's halftime iceberg · Aug 27, 2018

Just got this email

Got a ticket....yippeee.

We're on our way..............................

ForestRowSeagull · Aug 28, 2018

Yeah i'll be going. Helps with Saints being moved

Jimmy Grimble · Aug 28, 2018

Bet there's a lot of disappointed fans.

How can anyone have justified giving 23,000 tickets to neutrals, and just 500 to the 4 semi finalists?

Where were the Sussex allocated tickets. It kept saying some in the Raglan were available but the system would not sell them to me. After over an hour of trying it sold me one in the South Stand.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
