🔵 Week 4 previews, Week 3 reviews 🟤 12-month IPL contracts offered to England players 🟠 Own your mistakes! 🟣 Sort out 'reciprocal' rights for county members 🟢 Parkinson loan 🔴 Tom Price heroics
Great idea; would very happily add this amount to either of my county memberships; not sure how you would get Middx/MCC to sign up - when I approached Middx - I'm a country member - the response was all tied up with issues about pavilion access and complications with the MCC.
Even a scheme building on the Warwickshire model and which did not include Middx (or perhaps only with members enclosures access at Lords) would be a terrific advance. Hope there are groups out there which might take this idea forward with you. There must be a way of building something up over a number of years so that those counties which opt out are in such a small minority they might ultimately wish to join up with a fully national scheme.
Excellent piece on the roots of the current challenges, selling the game to Sky and ignoring T20 franchise cricket until it was too late (including the Stanford episode) being key mistakes.
The membership £30 supplement idea is too complicated for me but extending the reciprocal arrangements across all counties and having early county membership access to international fixtures would be relatively simple
