GregP Sep 2016 11:53am, 15 Sep 2016 85,495 posts	Quote Pin GregP Has anyone had a whiff of what these eight T20 cities are? I had a stab in a meeting just now: Probable LONDON (Middlesex / Surrey) NOTTINGHAM (Notts) LEEDS (Yorkshire) MANCHESTER (Lancashire) BIRMINGHAM (Warwickshire) Likely BRISTOL (Somerset) Who knows? Any two from (in order of my perceived likelihood) CARDIFF (Glamorgan) DURHAM (Durham) CHELMSFORD (Essex) BRIGHTON (Sussex) SOUTHAMPTON (Hants) CANTERBURY (Kent)
The Teaboy Sep 2016 11:58am, 15 Sep 2016 14,623 posts	Quote Pin The Teaboy Bristol is Gloucestershire... I'd guess Durham, Cardiff, Southampton as they have international grounds. Bonkers why Essex didn't vote against, or Northants or Worcs. Won't this severely dent the revenue?
GregP Sep 2016 12:18pm, 15 Sep 2016 85,498 posts	Quote Pin GregP Sorry - always get Bristol wrong. There was a thing either in the Times or on Cricinfo about which counties actually sell all/most of their seats for T20. Think Essex had 89% behind only Middlesex and Surrey? Think that's right anyway. It'll be a disaster for Essex, I fear. And buggered if I'm going to 'support' a London franchise.
GregP Sep 2016 12:23pm, 15 Sep 2016 85,500 posts	Quote Pin GregP This is an interesting guess (from a post on EssexOutfielder): Oval, Stratford, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Birmingham, Southampton, Cardiff
The Teaboy Sep 2016 12:24pm, 15 Sep 2016 14,625 posts	Quote Pin The Teaboy Essex seems to pretty much sell out. Tried to get tickets for a T20 at the last minute and none left. From seeing the Sky broadcasts from Chelmsford, the crowd is pretty raucous too - like one of those little stadia the big football teams hate because they know they're going to get it in the neck all the way through.
