still.... I'm sure the umpires know what they are doing and didn't give it up too early. Perhaps the ground was too saturated, so it's just a shame that we didn't pay a load of money for state of the art drainage a few years ago...... ............oh wait!
If this had been a test match I can guarantee that we'd be playing right now. We'd probably have been playing since 4pm and the floodlights would have been on to make absolutely certain that we had a good 2 hours available to get 25 overs in so that no money would have to be returned.

Yep! Martin Emmerson suggested so much water has fallen that drainage is a problem. He reckons a good chance of no play tomorrow even if there's no more rain - and the forecast suggests there will be!

Due course probably means next year! Seriously though it will probably be either tomorrow or next week?

I'd welcome an update on the clubs future plans both on the playing side and financial side. It's rumoured that the trapdoor stand is to be completely replaced and a hotel and apartments built on the area behind it.
