Time to look at bonus point reform? That said, getting 5 batting points is really tricky.

610 in yesterday, according to The Cricketer. Nothing to shout about, but imagine that's better than most opening day gates in recent years? https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/county-championship-premium/unfamiliar_territory_brings_best_leicestershire_derbyshire.html?t=638800331227615153

Worth bearing in mind that this Derbyshire side have improved over the winter - and their attack's had an upgrade on last week's win too now Tickner's back. Need to stop Jewell and the inevitable Madsen when they get in!

Decided not to with a bit of potential financial uncertainty at home, mixed with only being able to make a minority of games. I'd usually find on balance it was worth keeping, even so, but the club's disgusting treatment of supporters tipped me over the edge. I no longer want to give my time or money to people who despise me and couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge my concerns when I informed them of my cancellation. It's going to be tough missing out, but ultimately a club who I've followed loyally for more than 30 years have made a decision like this far too easy.

Even if they did, they've already stayed on that "bandwagon" through one relegation. Just look at this thread, plenty who've had STs for decades but have finally had enough of KPFC.

They're the same thing.

Not surprised given you've got a crush on Bell-Drummond (like me). Big year ahead for Muyeye if they use him right too. Jewell looks to be what Budinger could be if he took the really loose shots out of his game and went slightly more measured with his risk-taking. Shouldn't be too harsh though, can't complain with a 50 and seeing us home tonight. He's stepped up impressively this weekend with Patel's injury.

Top two makes sense but the rest is way more of a lottery. Easy to put Derbyshire as the also-rans, but I reckon they'll do a better this year. Looked a much more confident side from what I saw of their game.

Always on top but still came back from the kind of minor setbacks that often used to turn into major setbacks. Pleasing.

Loved watching Wright, but him smacking Bashir around isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of England's selection policy.

Zain-ul-Hassan he first man in the country out on two consecutive Championship opening days now. Ouch.

They're on for that so far...

What's everyone's Championship predictions then? Hard to see past Surrey getting four in a row right now. Would like Somersrt to do it in their 150th anniversary year.

Get yourself down to Grace Road this summer. A club glad of the support and a team of players who care. Oh, and pints on a sunny day. It's fun even if you've no interest in cricket.

Buzzing for the season starting. Nice to feel excited about a team I support.

I find it such a bad taste gesture anyway, particularly for people who died young. It feels almost sarcastic. I've never joined in with one.

With a really heavy heart, I'm out. Struggle to attend many these days and can't justify the spend. The club's treatment of all of us in recent times tipped me over the edge. Emailed to ask to cancel, outlining my concerns, and they weren't even acknowledged in the reply. I'd be sacked on the spot for failing to do that in my job. Just confirms they don't give a solitary shit about us, but makes me feel I've made the right decision on balance.

Can't even be arsed to make it relevant to Leicester. How hard is it to post a pic of Zagorakis and have a bit if fun with something like that? It's like we'te using "Generic FC" from David Squires' cartoons to inform our marketing strategy.

It's back to being free. One-Day Cup may be on mute though with the Beeb cutting coverage.

Penny for the members' thoughts on this idea... https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/county-cricket-premium/taking_county_championship_overseas_floated_club_ceo.html?t=638781449409932949

Bar the injury, he was really beginning to find his stride in Wright's absence.

Yes, I just opted for a Tennant's when I went in there.

Porto was ridiculous. Some five-star hotel out in the sticks. Mind you, the local cafes must have made an unexpected profit that day flogging hundreds of bottles of Super Bock.

I'll also vouch for The State bar. My post was still accurate as of six months later. Wish I could say I've managed to go since!
