This is your opinion which you are entitled to but stop making out that its a fact

Don't know Brad either but used to know his Brother Elliott quite well used to sell programmes on match days .Some on here may remember his dad John Varnam used to be a well known local ref for many years think he was also involved with Leicester united youth team at one stage. They lived around 5 minutes from me around the corner from Knighton Park

The cricket society begins another season tomorrow at 7.30 in the Charles Palmer suite with Mark Ramprakash the guest speaker. Admission just £5 should be a good night

Just watched the interview with Thomas in which he states we have had a better season and taken more points this season then last season well yes we have but let's just ignore the fact that points for drawing games increased from 5 to 8

No surprise the early bird offer extended to December sadly still won't be rejoining and fear I'm one of many

Just looked it up yes Handcomb did sign a 2 year contract in 2023 which makes it more confusing what Claude has said

I thought at the time he might of but both Claude and Richard Rae have spoken that they hope he comes back so it don't seem to be cast in stone

Handscomb not officially signed for next season unless I've missed something although I do expect him to return. Salisbury got 1 year left on contract so expect him to be here next year don't think any other County would sign him even though he's an OK bowler .

My last word on the subject because we are going tound in circles .India very rarely play Australia lost 2_0 last time Denmark who are stronger then Australia beat SM 2_1 Finland similar level also won by the same scoreline.. India may or not be better then SM my point being that if SM played fixtures against Cambodia Hong Kong Sri Lanka Pakistan etc they would pick up wins maybe not always but they would win a few

But all those Countries with the possible exception of St Kitts who SM dominated in both matches are stronger then the sides I mentioned. For the record india have also played against Cambodia Bahrain Singapore Vietnam and Myanmar in the last year hardly comparable to Northern Ireland Slovakia and Cyprus

Count me in I would pay to watch that one

Of Course SM are a poor side never side otherwise. My point remains though that while San Marino play the heavyweights of world football India play against Sri Lanka Pakistan Afghanistan Cambodia Nepal Hong Kong etc . All those sides are of a similar standard so all pick up wins which is why they are higher in the world rankings.

Disagree that Denmark are only of championship level. If you look at SM results in the last 50 games it's rare that they concede more then 5 and when they do its always a flurry of late goals when they tire in the last 10 minutes Still find it laughable that you think India would beat them but you are entitled to your opinion

You think a full strength Denmark side would only beat Friar Lane 2_1 LOL

Notice you failed to mention SM pushed Denmark and Finland close last year both games finishing 2_1. Regarding Gibraltar they have played SM twice before winning one 1_0 SM missed a penalty and the other finished 0 _0 I expect another close game when they play each other next month

Not sure you can compare playing Cyprus and Moldova against playing Pakistan and Sri Lanka

Yes I'm aware of those games and you are correct about the results. However i watched extended highlights on YT of both matches and SM should have won both they missed countless chances should still be on YT if you don't believe

Explain how I was spectaculary wrong. I gave you basic facts SM play against the World's best sides on a regular basis India play against no-one stronger then occasionally Australia so of course they are going to win matches against the likes of Sri Lanka which means they will be higher in the world rankings

Àshes squad named early?

Can't believe I have to explain this but of course India are higher in the world rankings SM play against England France Spain Italy Germany etc India play against Sri Lanka Pakistan Bangladesh so of course they win a few matches it's like having Shepshed above Leicester in the rankings because they've got more points this season.

Can't say for sure but the paywall been a total failure so would think so. If you mostly only attend Championship matches your best bet would be a Nottinghamshire County membership if you live more then 20 Miles from Trent Bridge £151 if you are over 65 or £183

That only happens when they play the likes of England France Germany Spain etc. Having said that the Indian national team who are worse then San Marino played Oadby Town in a friendly in the early 90s and its was a draw so who knows

The club have abandoned çharging for the stream

Yes it's in connection with the petition for the removal of Sean Jarvis as CEO. Ridiculous imo we are about to announce record losses many members not renewing and yet it seems members are not allowed to even ask question about Jarvis. Haven't seen anything that's out of order unless you think calling him a used car salesman goes over the line.. Friend of mine and long time member sent Jarvis a polite message on x simply asking why Northants and Derby can make a profit and we can't which is a valid question the response none other then Jarvis blocked him
