County Cricket isnt a viable business prospect. However the ECB makes money of international attendances and TV money, to create players to play at this level they need a professional circuit.Originally Posted by LordKenwyne
Money well spent by cardiff council then
How are they even viable?. Most sports teams would have gone under with such poor attendances, next to zero TV money.
The ECB needs to fund the clubs at that level to exist. Currently there are half a dozen clubs struggling to cope with that funding.
If it goes the way that clubs go to the Wall then you will have left a handfull of London clubs, Yorkshire and Lancashire. Then the England set-up has too narrow a net.
If Glamorgan go then cricket in Wales effectively follows it. So i think Cardiff Council has done ok to fund a good sporting facility, that brings high level sporting events to the capital.
