A poll for Cricket lovers

[West Hoathly Seagull]

The County Ground was going to be developed at one time. There were plans for a new pavillion at the north end, but they were scuppered by NIMBYs, only this time the NIMBYs were sitting in the deckchairs, though it would have been a shame to lose these. I think it's a pity that the new players' dressing room facilities are away from the pavillion - the players used to mix with spectators; they are now apart from them. I think there are still plans, but the club have been concentrating on youth development for the past few years. I think they need to improve the ground, or the club will be developing players for other clubs.

I will begrudgingly admit that with only tea on offer, the poll would be that much closer.

Lush, why don't you run another poll that says "what if cricket had arsehole players, Cardiff fans, Scott McGleish, refs who cry 'racist fans' to cover up their own inadequecies, and corrupt/incompetent boards who ignore fans instead of membership setups"

You see, there are loads of things that cricket does better.

"It's well documented that the working classes move the excellent in sport forward through the ages simply because of the 'hunger' factor"

I guess no-one told people like Steve Redgrave and Mathew Pinsent that they're not really very good because they're too posh.

And we all know the Carribean is dripping with money, so someone had better tell the like of Viv Richards, Gordon Greenidge, Haynes, Holding, Garner, and Sobers that their achievements don't count for jack shit.

Sir Garfield was brilliant.
