GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

Another shambolic failure by the top of the order.

Also, are we the only team who doesn't have an overseas T20 player - Shahid Afridi for Hampshire tonight, 4-20.

Guess who won

I feel sorry for Lloyd. He has been in hopeless form for a year now. He should be nowhere near the side. Hampshire were off to a flier whilst we lost two wickets in the first over. It's a sorry state of affairs. May not bother with the Somerset game next Saturday. No overseas player either. Any idea what the attendance was tonight? Doubt if it was more than 3000.

The attendance actually looked (and felt) decent tonight.

They closed the top half of the Fosters Stand, but that meant the rest of the main side of the ground was 3/4s full. Empty family stand & Pavilion.

A good few thousand.

Re: GLAMMY

Surprisingly, the attendance was actually 6300.

Thanks for that. Better than I thought then especially considering the teams poor form.

Blimey. Much better than I thought.

I watched the seconds play at St Fagans in a 20/20 game last Monday, Lloyd was dropped by the wicket keeper off the first ball he faced and scrambled the only run he scored from it, only to be caught behind two balls later.

Re: GLAMMY

Good crowd in but as expected the visitors played all the cricket and you wonder how many will keep returning. In their first few overs Hants whacked it all over the ground whereas we treated every delivery like an unexploded grenade. They won by 22 runs, it was just never a competitive match. Unfortunately I've got a T20 season ticket but there's always the bar.

Re: GLAMMY

Some good stuff from Bailey, McManus and Vince from Hants, but also from Wagg.

He was the only one to stack the spinners and use his feet. Very disappointed in how placid our batsmen were with the spin. It's simple at Sofia.
Use your feet get down the pitch and hit hard and straight to the short boundaries.

Still enjoyed a couple of hours with my son and there's always a pleasant atmosphere at the cricket. A laid back contrast to the stress of the footy in a few weeks

Will go to as many as I can - win or lose

Pretty much sums up my thoughts aswell.
I've been taking my son on and off for about 4 or 5 years now. He thinks he's seen us win once!
Can't see the crowds staying as high as last night's attendance either- think it was boosted by the £10 offer and they'll struggle to sell as many at £15+

That surprises me as well

You are making me feel guilty Tim. Like you I take my lads and enjoy doing so. We will turn up next Saturday night. I just feel a bit disillusioned with the complete lack of direction at the club. We know Glammy are never going to match the best sides but we are going backwards.

I think that Lawnmower has summed it up nicely there.
We all have to accept that Glamorgan are and will remain poor for a while yet.
However, it remains a pleasant way to welcome the weekend, family friendly and a way to support and generate interest in local sport.
The stuff that has us tearing out hair out is back shortly so let's make the most of this gentle interlude.

It's a bit easier for me than you Mike.
If I had the journey you had to make I doubt I'd be at more than 1 or 2 a year mate.

Re: GLAMMY

7/2 off 3.4 overs against Sussex. Says it all.
