Who's Oliver Hawke? 

Obsessive Leicester fan goes every day. Makes ridiculous comments not kidding like Leicestershire  our only desire in life and what we live for writes letters in the Mercury every week about the club buys all  the .players presents at the end of the season.

 

In short bit of a nutter.You won't be surprised to learn he's 48 and still lives with his parents.

He used to be similarly obsessive with LCFC too, but seems to be more focused on the County these days.

The last paragraph is rather harsh. He's harmless.

Aye bit harsh to criticise a fan for supporting their team too much.

 

Ben Mike for England is hardly an outrageous comment. Everyone knows he'd have been leading the Ashes attack in if he golfed and drank more.

This is quite simply an unkind post. We never know what’s going on in other people’s lives, or why they might behave as they do.

 

This thread should remain about County, not the personal circumstances of their followers.

Agree he's harmless but comments like the club are all we desire and live for in Life  are just slightly over the top  to say the least.

Did anyone watch any of T20 finals day yesterday? I thought all the teams were miles ahead of us in terms of quality with Bat, ball and fielding. Perhaps we need a specialist T20 coach here (i believe some sides have them) and overseas recruitment needs to improve. Stop getting all rounders and run a ball batters like Massod and Kelly and go for a big hitting opener like a Ronchi or an Inglis and a specialist death/strike bowler! Thoughts?
