GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

I couldn’t care less about this. Welsh Fire my arse. Not a single Welsh player or Glammy player in the squad.
Welsh in name only.

Re: GLAMMY

Another ropey performance from the Welsh Fire batsmen who added 119 to the 107 they got in their first game - it looked like a good crowd to watch what has to be the most unWelsh team to represent Wales in sporting history.

The Welsh Fireis supposed to be representing Glamorgan, GLoucestershire and Somerset. Completely understandably, supporters of the two English sides don’t want to know about the team that’s supposed to be representing them and, as a Welshman, I can’t get too excited about them either, so I find myself wondering what is the point in this team?

No point at all. Not interested in this competition

I love cricket. I believe it to be the best sport. I enjoy all formats until now.

I haven't watched a single minute of the Hundred. It's a meaningless franchise driven competition, and to name a team Welsh Fire when i has no connections whatsoever with Wales apart from where it plays half its games is a most patronising English decision.

I really hope it dies a quick death.

Re: GLAMMY

Apparently biggest crowd ever to watch a domestic cricket match in wales today. Ever.

Yep nobody is interested in it! Lots of kids and families there. Cheap tickets. But it's not traditional so some obviously won't like it so no point debating it.

Why can't we have a Welsh national team, breaking away from the ECB and going it alone? Ok, so we may not do very well on the international stage but it really pisses me off seeing the likes of Scotland, Ireland and Afghanistan present at the big competitions but no Wales. I am sure that people on here will come up with some valid reasons why not but it really does annoy me.

Re: GLAMMY

Not sure The Hundred is going anywhere soon.

That crowd yesterday dwarfed anything I've seen Glamorgan get at Sophia Gardens in recent years, including the T20 quarter against Yorkshire which was one of the largest off the top of my head.

Sorry. Didn't see this.

People might not agree with the format but it is certainly getting the crowds in.

If anything the more traditional forms of the game need to look at this to see where they're going wrong with marketing and the like.

Surely a competition that isn't for your traditional cricket fans that is five minutes old getting crowds that any Glamorgan fixtures can only dream of should tell them something.

If this bunch of players with no connection to Wales keep serving up “product” like they have done in their first two games, the crowds will drop soon enough - I don’t like the Hundred much, but there’s been some good, exciting matches this year and last, the Welsh Fire team have contributed barely anything towards that though and the women’s team were poor last season as well.

Isn't that the same with anything though?
Surely the large crowds show there is appetite for it though.

Does the player's background matter if they're serving up entertainment? Keeping in mind the make up of the City squad this season.

It didn't seem to matter to most of those yesterday. I do agree that they will drop off if the product is bad though. As with anything really.
