To the owners of one of the IPL franchises

Quite worrying stories this week for the future of the English game. Two counties ready to sell themselves off to elevate issues and point themselves in the direction of pushing white ball cricket.

Shit website - wouldn't accept Rufus Brevett

Local council probably allowed it - suspect from what I read about it all because they've been able to get another turnstile open.

Ignore the championship team beating PL in the midweek and go for the more likely viral content

I’ve never been but I know people what say the Crown is the prettiest pub you could ever visit https://www.instagram.com/p/CvhAhW9IjSD/?igsh=bnN3NTVvdm9ycXdj I mean look at that!

Off memory there is one very near the ground. The area around there is completely the polar opposite of Bath city centre. It's not rough, just proper normal. Fulham v Chelsea is on at the same time. I'd say it's my favourite ground in the country

Bath’s a cracking non league ground. Proper relic.

Saw someone crowdsurf when we went 1-0 up. Absolute unreal end. Sent me down a path trying to think of other really good ends. Stoke, 2-2. When Pawson sent off Vardy, people lost it. The MoTD highlights that night have Pawson going off at half time and our fans completely losing it 😂

Wages won’t be cheap by Championship standards Looks a right agent number

Weekend before they go on sale - so 13th/14th January

Derby springs to mind and then Vardy/Nugent killed them

Probably not because the ground/land is split between two ownerships - it's a right legal mess

Pitch is awful there and the ground looking a right sorry state

I shouldn’t make a point of it but find it hilarious that you have bits of Leeds trivia amongst your admiration for their teams

Funny really cos yeah they are nice places. However the Coventry side of Warwickshire contains a number of towns and villages which are utter shit. Anyone with any money gets themselves off to Leamington pronto which is dominated by Villa fans

Also being a miserable git, some of the ‘banter’ on social media is so boring and unfunny.

It has the ingredients for one of those LCFC crumbles. Local game Big away support Favourites to win Had some dire performances in recent memory with that sort of thing.

Very correct. Equally totally get why people who work or live in the North of the county hate Forest. That and I still say Leicester v Forest is a city v city derby for the best of the region. Both cities and counties live in isolation really. Whereas Derbys and Notts is far more interwoven (bar possibly Derbyshire folk over the Peaks).

https://theathletic.com/5137007/2024/01/08/maddy-cusack-investigation-special-report/ Free story on the Athletic - Morgan, the ex City manager does not come well out of this sorry tale at all

bit of logistical difficulty (two week turn-around from the draw) made that trip

Then a loss to Lions at the Copper box - not dominant enough on the boards. BBL has just accepted a further £4m from 777 - this after them being very late with their payments before. Apparently not all of the clubs wanted the £4 million. It's going to pop at some point.

Ironically within the rules of the FA Vase and Trophy but not the FA Cup

Wrexham playing anyone is going to television isn't it?
