[Cricket] Natwest T20 Blast Kent v Sussex 15-05-15 19.00 , Canterbury .

So the two minnows of county cricket lock horns tonight for this seasons opening fixture , really looking forward to seeing Mahela Jayawardene swing the willow for the Sharks , will we see Will Beer as he has been loaned out to god knows where for god knows why reasons , this maybe the last time we see the Sharks as they are now , as moves are afoot to amalgamate the counties into franchises much like the big bash and the IPL , how do you feel about this happening ?

Obviously this does not apply to Surrey as they will still be known as Franchise Surrey .

Can you take your own shant in at Canterbury for T20 games

tinycowboy · May 15, 2015

I really should be attending, but it's my birthday today, so I've other plans. Kent were terrible for this fixture last year. I think the Sharks should win, also interested (obviously) in how Jayawardene performs. Certainly wouldn't bother attending any amalgamated counties team or franchise - don't see how I could possibly care about that. Happy with the current set-up, despite our recent record in the competition, loved the 2009 run and victory - great times.

Half of Newhaven will be gutted if you cant

I don't know about minnows, it is more like two water fleas swimming around in a dirty puddle while the Great White Sharks of Lankyshire and Slurry devour all who dare put their toes in the water....

Were loose (obviously)

What is "shant"? If it's alcohol, I think you'll be OK as long as you're not swigging it as you go in. If it's something more sinister, I'm too innocent to be of any use, I'm afraid...

I feel the same way , but you cant deny the pulling power these franchises have had in India and Austrailia , i guess when i see the team sheets of these franchises i may well change my view and have a look at a game or two but right now i do not like the idea of it .

Yes, alcohol.
It was ok for the Pro40 on a sunday a few years ago but it might be different for T20/FL games (as it is at Hove).

Usually, there are about two people on the gate looking at tickets, but not searching bags, as far as I can recall.

From current Sussex CCC T20 Ticket :

Alcohol policy
No alcohol is permitted to be brought into the ground for the following matches: All Natwest T20 Blast, Floodlit Royal One-Day Cup, Quarter-Finals and Semi-Finals.

...seems to be consistent - Kent ccc Website : For NatWest T20 Blast matches NO alcohol is allowed to be brought into the ground.

Pint of overpriced watered down piss it is then !

If the franchise had Brighton or Sussex in the title, I may root for them, even if they don't contain any "real" Sussex players. We'll have to see how it goes, but I prefer to support my own county players representing my county. But you're right - if it was that clear cut, no-one would be turning up in India or Australia and that's clearly not the case. We'll see.

So it's not officially allowed.....

Not tonight

Horton's halftime iceberg · May 15, 2015

Nash, Wright, Jayawardena, Cachopa, Yardy, Brown, Beer, Liddle, Machan, Robinson, Magoffin

I thought Piolet over Magoffin - we need to rest our fast bowler for the proper cricket

Taybha · May 15, 2015

See told ya you could take Beer into the ground
