Cardiff was good, Edgbaston 2016 was disappointing.
This year we were on the top tier of the corner stand, which was too far from the action. Difficult to justify charging £89 when it is effectively a restricted view. There was a couple of fanzones around the ground. One of them was a covers band dressed in glam and played some random songs for the crowd to sing. Filled a fair bit of time between Semi Final 2 and the Final. Also took some of the sting off losing to Lancashire.
Enjoyable, but long days. Setting off at 6.45am on Saturday after working lates on Friday, not arriving back until 2.30am on Sunday. Getting the train to Birmingham is a non starter as the last one to Leeds is like 9pm. I volunteered to drive with four other friends in tow (not bothered about drinking when it comes to events).
