Right, I've been asked to look at some options for watching cricket this summer. What I'll do is present some options by way of venue, fanning out from the Hound centre as it were:
Surrey
Lots at the Oval. Only other option is Guildford which has a one day game 14th June and four day game 2-5 July.
Middlesex
Again Lords the main ground. They do take it away from there with
27.5 T20 at Uxbridge
29.5 4 day game at Merchant Taylor School
2.6 T20 game at MTS
7.6 One day game at Radlett
8.7 T20 at Richmond
Sussex
Outside of Hove it's Arundel who have a 4 day game 22-25 June and T20 on 26.6.
Kent
Canterbury main ground with other options being
3.6 T20 at Beckenham
5.6 One day game at Beckenham
15.7 T20 at Tunbridge Wells
17.7 to 20.7 4 day game at Tunbridge Wells
6.9 to 9.9 4 day game at Beckenham
In terms of other options, have looked on the trainline.com for typical journey times and day return prices from Purley. Prices won't be the cheapest but they need advance booking then weather becomes a gamble. Also factor in time to ground
Canterbury £30 and two hours
Hove £20 and one hour
Southampton £30 and two hours
Leicester £40 and 2.5 hours
Chelmsford £25 and 1.667 hours
This give a flavour. To be discussed.
In other news Graham and myself represented the Hound at the Scout quiz on Saturday. A creditable performance but weight of numbers counted against us and we took second, with a prize to be shared this Thursday.

Ok. Here's one for you kids. Also Wimbledon dog track is closing for good soon.
ReplyDeleteWho are playing in any of these games? I thought we were looking for England v Sri Lanka/Pakistan but none of rhese dates and venues seem to match the tour schedule?
ReplyDeleteHad a look at the touring teams. Pakistan have games against Somerset, Sussex and Worcester in July while Sri Lanka are really just Internationals now. Seemed a bit of a dog to get to but happy to discuss.
