Get there half hour before. Probably last 2-3 hours but could be over in one. You can choose your seat as it will be nowhere near capacity.Quote:

I'll be there and hopefully our home form.will take a turn for the better, bolstered by our win at Colwyn Bay.
Enjoy the game :thumbup:
If you haven't been down before you may not be aware that you cannot take booze in thereQuote:

Even if it's a one sided game I can't see it finishing before 9.:30pm. Should be finished at around 10pm or a bit after that if it's a close game.
We have decided to go to the game although am not looking forward to the slow drive from the Cotswolds.
How can it be over in one hour!!!!!
opening side could get bowled out in the first 20 mins. the side replying knocks off the runs very quickly.
Unlikely but could happen
Bowled out in 20 minutes!!! That's like saying Cardiff could win their opening League game 10/0. It ain't happening.

My remark "over in one" was not meant to be taken literally, just meant to convey that that you can never tell with cricket, especially if you are gearing up for a good drink.Quote:

I did just google some low scores and learned that Holland were dismissed for 39 in 10.3 overs so in theory, with a 20 minute interval, the game could be over in an hour.

That was brilliant tonight. We must have had not much short of 10,000 at the game with loads of Euro 16 type chants. The service by the bar staff was about as slow as Shaun Tait in the field. Dear God Shaun you could try an attempt a dive to stop the fours.
Ingram superb as was Donald.
So we are in the quarter finals but have not quite nailed the home advantage as Middlesex can catch us. One more win should seal it.
MacAdder Not really mate. I can't ever recall a domestic T20 game between two counties being over in an hour. Ever...because it has never happened.
Why not bowl Salter on a pitch taking spin? Bizarre again from Rudolph.
Apparently the gate was 7596. Seemed more than that to me.
stop being a **** and watch a proper sport.
Where did I say that this HAD happened?Quote:

Fully deserved too.
You didn't but just very odd that you suggested it could be all over in an hour. Anyway no more from me on this.....
Yep totally agree about the tail. Hopefully Cooke will be back for the quarter final and played as a specialist batsman given his back problems. Keep Wallace as opener and keeper and drop Salter who isn't worth playing as Rudolph clearly has no faith in his bowling in this form of the game. It must hack Salter off that Rudolph would rather bowl himself ahead of Salter.
Myself and the Mrs and kids thoroughly enjoyed a warm evening's entertainment there tonight. £5 a ticket each for the kids and there was plenty to see for us all. We started out in the Family Stand (by mistake) and then for the Glammy innings moved to the more boisterous Cathedral Road Stand.
Thought Glammy controlled the match from the toss and was good to see Donald in the flesh.
I also liked the look of that very energetic fielder. Short, furry fella. Darted about the boundaries like a man possessed he did.
I think that would have been David Lloyd. You can get your kids Young Buds memberships for a tenner. It means they can go to all seven home games without having to pay anything more than that tenner. Worth thinking about for next season.Quote:

There was a Beyonce concert at Old Trafford last weekend and the commentators were saying that it undoubtedly had effected the outfield in ways which would influence the game. For a start, it had to be watered quite extensively and so there was lush green grass rather than the sort of arid, dry stuff which would encourage reverse swing, but, also because the outfield was similar in some ways to the one at Brisbane where Simon Jones suffered the injury which had such a huge influence on his career - Atherton said that he would have told all of his fast bowlers that he didn't want to see them diving to stop boundaries on a surface like that, perhaps there was something similar said by Jacques Rudolph to Tait?Quote:

Only seen pics on Twitter as I am away, but it looked a superb night.
Hard to beat cricket in the sun
A cracking night and the best gate for a Glammy game in a long time. Very noisy and enjoyable. Lots of chanting as in Please don't take me home,Hal Robson Hal Robson Kanu,Will Griggs on fire etc etc. A very lively night. T20 at its best at Sophia Gardens.
Suggest that you read my reply to you yesterday at 17.34 as you either missed it or chose to ignore it, as you chose to ignore other postings on the same subject which were also feasible.Quote:

If you aren't going to read or ignore postings to which you have contributed or, in this case, sarcastically commented on, why should anybody read what you have to say?
Thanks, had a great night boosted by the win. The crowd were on top form, great entertainment for kids and adults alike.Quote:

I have not ignored your posts.They didn't add anything to what you previously said. No domestic T20 game has ever come close to finishing in an hour and citing a Holland game is irrelevant to a match between two counties as Holland are one of the weaker countries play ODI's.
Not sure what the lowest score is in a domestic game. Sussex with something like 67 I think.
My initial post wasn't sarcastic by the way. Someone was asking how long the game would last. Suggestions it would probably last two or three hours was right. You didn't really need to say the next bit.
Happy for you to ignore my posts should you wish. I didn't mean to offend you though.

Yeah but it would have taken about two hours of waiting in the rain to start the 5 overs aside.....
