Sad news that Mark Ginger Sanderson a well known supporter of the club in the 1980s has passed away aged 57 RIP Mark

Been talking to him today so he's very much still with us.

It must certainly not be easy for you during this virus situation on your work front (lack of interviews with footballers etc, and think you mentioned in the that that you're a DJ, too?)..

Liked the last one you did, over the computer/laptop with Kevin Friend.

 

Have you got any further interviews lined up, out of interest?

Did another one with Newcastle defender Peter Ramage but nothing else lined up at the moment. It's going to be quiet for a while, especially with bars/clubs shut for ages too.

Maybe interview this bloke who opened the bowling for Narborough under 18's in the 90's. 2 runs from 3 overs in an 18 over game, obviously destined for big things.....

Blimey, where did you dig this up from?

Must have been a flukey good day for me.

Croft clearly weren't much cop if they couldn't score off my bang average pie-chucking.

Opening the bowling, wow, can't imagine that happened much.

My old man had a clear out and found 3 scorebooks from U15 & U18's.

I'm just as impressed with Youngy managing to bowl a maiden too, obviously before the yips set in.

So far I've found a very Young Darren Stevens playing for Swallows Green and Carl Crowe playing for Ratby (seems to have been a specialist fielder at an early age...much like me)

I remember umpiring a Sunday friendly game when I was 15 and a 14 year old Darren Maddy was opening the bowling.

He reckons we used to play U15 / U18 against each other but I don't recall.

The Youngy brothers are top lads.

I don't suppose you found the scorebook when I came out swinging and belted a quickfire career best 39no one Sunday!

No play until 1st August now, unlikely to get any first class games this season imo, they will likely push for a T20/ODI tournament to claw some revenue back. larger ground are looking at playing with capacity at 25%, not sure how many that would equate to at GR.

Interesting line about the possibility of more outground cricket there. Kibworth was definitely on the cards to get something I think, but the problem there is transport infrastructure.

 

Shame Hinckley's ground's such a dive (or was when I last played there anyway) as that could accommodate a game or two if it was spruced up. Would love to see a game at Harborough too, the biggest Leicestershire town never to have hosted a county match.

Its a poor state of affairs really, county cricket cant afford to return at present, better off furloughing players and staff, without crowds coming in they cant pay the players. 

 

Thats why they arent coming back until August. 

 

Most counties are probably dreading going back to play, no crowds, no money. The furlough scheme is like manna from heaven for counties at the moment. 

 

Fair chance that club cricket will be back before county cricket.

Oakham(school) was a good out post, small walk from the train station as well

Some pretty good players played there when I watched- Sehwag, Graeme Smith, Jayasuriya, Mongia, Broad, Pietersen.

 

A shame we've not played there much in the last decade.
