GLAMMY

[qccfc]

Depends on your point of view.
I am a cricket fan (includes Glammy) but I also pay a large chunk of community charge and was very disappointed at the decision to not bid for a test match for 6 years.

The staging of Test matches would have brought in huge revenue for the City and the CCC and I am sure played a big part in the council's decision to bail out GCCC.

Doesn't sit right with me TBH

It depends on the test match. If we had an Ashes test or an India test, then yeah sure it would sell out.

Games against Pakistan, West Indies and Sri Lanka would really struggle and end up with the county losing money in the bid (like we did when we hosted a Sri Lanka test).

I always believe a council should back sport, if you look at Sofia Gardens now, the are around the stadium has fantastic facilities around it where many sports play, the facilities around the cricket are used by many community clubs, and host many training events, and functions. It benefits everyone in the area, and in my opinion well worth the expenditure.

I reckon Glamorgan are right to move away from the test arena where we are fighting against grounds with higher capacities and better facilities, and focusing on matches where we will turn a profit and gain a crowd.
