Cheltenham Festival is a fantastic event, weather dependent of course. If you live in Somerset then you support Somerset, if you live in Bristol or North Bristol then you support Gloucestershire. I moved from Bristol to Whitchurch (North Somerset) but of course, my loyalty to Gloucestershire remains. You need to be a County with a test venue ground to attract funding, sadly that isn't going to happen in Bristol, the recent investment means they can get one day internationals and the floodlights mean they can do day/night 20/20 games and generate more revenue. We lose our better players because the selector tend to pick from a small number of Counties for internationals, more chance from Somerset than Gloucestershire. Chris Broad is an example, I played against him for Brislington when he played as a youngster for Long Ashton, he had to leave Gloucestershire for Nottinghamshire to get selected England. Take some food and a flask, a day watching County Cricket is a fantastic way to relax. I was born in Gloucestershire (Thornbury) not this South Glos crap, so I support the county of my birth !

Whitchurch is Bristol. I can't see why you would live in Bristol and support a team that has it's base in Taunton? Somerset used to have festivals in Weston and Bath, but these have been dropped for a number of years because of poor support and costs. They played a 20/20 match on the Rec a few years ago, got reported because of the state of the pitch, they are very much entrenched at the County Ground in Taunton now. Surely Gloucestershire playing Bristol makes more sense. I also lived in Cheltenham and Stroud for a few years, so I am a bit bias. Somerset have also played first class matches at The Imperial Ground in Brislington/Hengrove, Ironmould Lane, Brislington and at Knowle CC....

Jamie Cox's LBW - you could hear the inside edge all around the ground but up went Shep's finger instantly - now remind me where Shep spent 14 years as a county cricketer?! Game-changing wrong decision...but I'm not bitter! Hit the pad first, mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Good performance by the Glos today. Solid batting forced the draw with 4 Durhsm wickets down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 When I saw the thread title @Aizoon I thought you were probably sitting on a train in a station somewhere eagerly anticipating the guards whistle as the last carriage door slams shut and you were about to set off on another railway adventure.

No more worries about City getting relegated; I can concentrate on the Glos failing to get pronoted. Am I mad? At least Horace has no interest in cricket and can aestivate in comfort...
