were you at the Gillette Cup Final in 1977(?)

[Publius Ovidius]

Sussex vs Somerset


ian Botham, Sir Vivien Richards, Joel garner?

We stuffed the west country carrot crunchers ( I played for Somerset Schoolboys Cricket team BTW )


I was sat on the pitch in front of the Lord taverners bar with my mate Lee maysey. Great day out !!!!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Had a ticket. But it clashed with going to Athens on the Coach to meet up with a girl. I had an overnight stop where I was seduced by this older woman travelling back to meet her husband. A bit surreal.

An elaborate 'no'.

May I offer my belated congratulations.

And there I was getting excited about Beefy, Viv & Big Bird

What a lovely story.


Alas, I was unable to attend this final, as I wasn't born until 1980.

I got the ticket from a girlfriend - whose father was a member. I ended up going out with her sister. Looking back I was on a roll that summer.

 

[Trufflehound]

No, but curiously I was there the previous year to see Northants beat Lancs (never given a stuff about either team, but when your dad gets offered corporate freebies...).

Sadly I wasn't seduced by any older women on that occasion - they were all eyeing the big Willey on the pitch.

I make that:
1. Older woman en route to husband, like ships passing in the night
2. Athens girl
3. Sister
4. OTHER sister
5. Dad's member

You, madam, were a right little STRUMPET.

 

[Scoffers]

Sadly I didn't go, and wasnt seduced either, good in a way though, I was only 6

 

[Publius Ovidius]

so its just me then....and i am a Yorkshireman...supporting Sussex, when the rest of you couldn't be arsed, were getting seduced, or were not born.

This is a disgrace


I am going to write to Norman Baker

Quite right. This clearly proves we have no need for Falmer as the only people who will ever turn up are one ageing northerner and a handful of unborn foetuses.



Happy birthday by the way.

Yes

Hove Lyndhurst, played against you many times over the years.

(When you bowled quickies you never got me out but the last time I played you I got done by those awful loopy dobby things you bowl now)

 

[The Auditor]

I still bowl them now ( actually had a 7-34 against Battle this year ) 20 odd wicks this year 30 odd last!

I used to enjoy playing against Lyndhurst, although I cant remember getting many runs against you guys.
