They can't go on like they are losing loads of money, they should have never have built such a big ground that will never be utilised. Echos of us and the Arena.
Re: Durham
It is an absolute disgrace what the ECB have done.
Pete, don't comment on subject matter you are not knowledgeable on.
The only cock-up Durham made (and to be fair was rather a large one) was building the ground in 1995 in the tiny town that is Chester-Le-Street.
As soon as that happened, it was 99% certain to fail as a Test Arena barring games vs Australia.

Re: Durham
I don't think they were forced to build the Riverside Stadium. They were probably told that if they wanted to host test matches then they'd have to build a ground of a certain size. But the ultimate decision will have been made by the officials at Durham.

They had to build it, and make it large enough to host test matches.
Who by ? E.C.B

The TCCB responded by forming a working party of its own to liaise with Durham. Moffat says that at times it felt like they existed to impede the bid rather than aid it: “The working party used to put hurdles up for us to jump.” Most draconian was the stipulation that Durham had to build a ground capable of hosting Test cricket, even though only 11 of the existing 17 counties had such a facility.

Warwickshire

Re: Durham
I really enjoy reading the threads on this site, by and large they are almost always interesting and topical. However am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with some of the offensive language used? I want to feel that as fellow Darlington supporters, that we treat each other with more respect when we disagree or when views differ.
Re: Durham
Interesting that you would raise your issues on a thread which has no offensive language whatsoever .Feethams 1966 wrote:I really enjoy reading the threads on this site, by and large they are almost always interesting and topical.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: Durham
Can't believe Durham CC has more or less given £3.8 million pounds, when teaching assistants are having their wages cut. They need to sort out their priorities.
Re: Durham
Yeah, they basically took it out of the teaching assistants pockets. Same pot of money. Obviously.

It all comes out of the same pot.
