You seem quite keen on not letting someone have their opinion and in turn letting it go. You have the choice not to reply rather than ask another question and continuing discussion on the matter you don't want bought into it.

They weren't confusing, they were insufficient. What would have been wrong with: "Unless demand is high when the tickets initially go on sale, we'll only be taking 5700 of our allocation so we suggest supporters act fast to secure their tickets"

We'll never know if we'd have got close to 9k though now is there. :shrug: Plenty seemed to say we'd take 5 or 6k of that, but that is only 2/3rds of the potential we could have had.

Dwamena has said he didn't collapse, his ICD shocked him and knocked him off his feet. His doctors said he was never in any acute danger because of his ICD. Daley Blind continues to play for for Ajax with an ICD fitted.

Maybe his cardiologist has said it's safe for him to play? Rather than football fans making that conclusion on his behalf.

So you have to remember that the 2011 no.1 Test team status came from players say aged 30 that had been with their counties for 10 or 20 years. You are looking at the players produced by County Cricket in 2001, 20 years ago to produce that team. I don't disagree to what you're saying, but the...

Not at all. As above, what Sussex did last year is exactly what you would want - lots of young players getting exposure and experience in the long format - only what happened is they got hammered, which may or may not have benefitted them, but it would be brilliant if all the counties could do...

This isn't just Agnew, I've read these suggestions before, The Hundred was an experiment with a view to seeing whether you can run a competition outside county control. I don't think anyone is saying Counties cease to exist - I'm not sure why you've even said that. The counties would still...

In short yes. Unless someone does something a bit radical to the game.

I always hear this argument about relegation, why is the 18 team County Championship ALWAYS a closed shop then if relegation is so important? Why can't the minor counties be promoted into the County Championship proper, or even League club sides for that matter? 2 leagues, 3 leagues, what was it...

I'm sure you would, you think Sussex are going to be prioritising the CC anytime soon, seriously? What was it last season, played 15 won 1. Who even knows without looking it up? As I keep saying, I know there is a generation that remembers when the CC meant something, Counties are like their...

Yes, because the crowds absolutely flood into the County Championship games, and the TV lap up televising CC matches. I bet there is a lot of cricket fans who couldn't even tell you who won the CC last year without looking it up. The suggestion isn't to lose the County alliance. But 18 teams...

Because the counties don't give a shit about the county championship. Period. They don't. Let's not pretend it's anything but an inconvenience shunted to the either end of a season. No crowds, no TV audience. It's dead. I understand those of you who are loyal and have grown up with it cannot let...

I don't think he's suggesting this elite CC would be limited to domestic cricketers. The way you could improve our own talent would be to have top players from around the world included in it. Rather than 18 teams playing each other with a load of average county bowlers and batsmen, you'd have...

Seems like the penny has dropped for Agnew too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/60016410 Other way round to what I was suggesting, but nevertheless, The Hundred was undoubtedly an experiment in running a competition outside county control. No doubt this will be devastating to those county...

Ooh, yeah! All right! Alright. We're jabbin' I wanna jab it wid you We're jabbin', jabbin', And I hope you like jabbin', too We're jabbin' To think that jabbin' was a thing of the past We're jabbin', And I hope this jab is gonna last We're jabbin' Jabbin' Jabbin' Jabbin' Jabbin' Now we're...

I saw Martin Carr supporting the Charlatans last night in Bexhill, and when he played a track from his old group the crowd went Boooooo Radleys...

Thank you, will make a very nice Xmas present I think. Can I just ask, did you go ads or no ads, and if ads, are they noticable or just slide them off the lock screen? (baring in mind it's for a child).

So, the Fire 8 HD is down to £39.99 and I was going to opt to get one for an 11 year old, mainly for a bit of Youtube / Netflix etc. Are they decent little tablets in this regard?

Dear maffew, Thank you for your letter. Paul, the recruitment team, the first team manager have all repeatedly told me we need to buy a striker, or 2, and I tell you as I have told them, I am already bankrolling this footballing club to 10s of millions of pounds of losses each year and I am...
