County championship!

Sounds like there should be a TEF day out on Sunday August 6 for Glos v Somerset in the 40 over league at Cheltenham.

As Boeta says - it's the best festival venue in the world and if you don't enjoy cricket there you never will.

[Boeta]

great to see gidders ton up as we've got full batting points

That sounds good,i said a while back we should have a Cricket Forum day out .I've heard that Cheltenham is a bit expensive though,sod it it could be a laugh,especially if Ian Blackwell plays

[Luci]

I will have to ensure I am on the other side of the country that day.......

expensive in terms of what?

tickets are £15 for an adult

pints are probs close to £3 but then everyone brings their own beer anyway

[larwood]

Ok Boeta,i stand corrected,i did say i'd heard it was expensive,not that it was

[Johno]

If youre referring to Cheltenham theres loads of buses! Only 30 miles away if you live in Swindon!

[Johno]

I quite fancy that 40 over match in Cheltnum....been to a fair few games there, its not a patch on the Bath Festival...or the late lamented Weston Festival.

 Cheltnum is full of poxy public school  types right up their own arses.

 Still the GCC fans do run a decent benefit quiz in Cheltnum, and its always a pleasure to batter (in a quiz sense) the masters of Clifton College, Bristhole and sundry other minor public schools.

[Reg Smeeton]

Supporting Gloucestershire, would be acceptable if they didn't play in Bristhole....which is not and never has been in Gloucestershire.

 Which makes them little more than MKD in my eyes...

Very debatable point Reg. I think you'll find Bristol (or at least part of it) is in South Gloucestershire, which is almost like a district of Gloucs (a very Australian concept i must admit)

don't forget to tell village that gloucestershire host the best outground festival in world cricket - the two weeks in cheltenham in late july/early aug or what cricket was made for. personally i'd support gloucestershire just for the cheltenham festival. also spend a week of the season in gloucester

 Think we've had this debate before but Bristhole was its own county from 1373.

 Some of its overspill, may have sullied the verdant and pristine fields of the otherwise wholesome county of Gloucestershire....but that's not a good reason to play cricket there.

[larwood]

Getting to Cheltenham would be a problem for me too,is it easy to get too by train?
I couldn't make Taunton either,i'm going to see Morrissey on that day Taunton is easy to get to on the train though,i went once to see a game and there wasn't one,it had been called off

[sonicyouth]

if me and village go, you could get a lift with us.

i've been meaning to go to the cheltnum thingy for a couple of years with my dad, but we never get round to it.

And I thought you were remotely intelligent Reg, clearly I was wrong....
