I agree. To me it looks like lets get this bloke in for a game, treat him like royalty and ask him to put our name about as available.

Like their advertising in the Dubai news a few weeks back

They must seriously believe the hype around their standing in the world of football

I should probably point out that I made this up. I just didn't have anything cricket related to turn to. I've become a monster...

Don't believe you, as soon as it is written on OTIB it is TRUE! !!

I'm going to tell everyone in the pub at cricket on Sunday

Nothing til next week at the earliest

Well if the June reference was relevant they are screwed !

Really surprised to see Notts struggling at the bottom of the table.

Great tho

I blame Sky fop showing too much Test cricket

You should be grateful Glos don't have 5 day matches, they struggle to last 3 at the moment

As the other thread got locked, I wrongly assumed that this one was ran by sensible, politically correct people. Like a back lash.

Which thread was locked ?

Under TV by toilets

Will we all be meeting in The Sportsman

 

 

Come on Glos!

Will head up that way later, hopefully there about 3pm

I'm the fat lad in the black Somerset shirt with red stripes on the sleaves

Maybe they can scrape enough money together to buy the Williams off of us!

We've got plenty of spare red seats we can give them, perhaps they would like those ?

Luke Ronchi has signed for somerset for five T20 matches

I'll let Rehman get stoned for that

LOL - what a winning over !

Shame we can't play Notts again this season

Did anyone go to the Q & A after play yesterday with Guy Lavender and Matt Maynard?

I was at the day's play but left before the end, so fed up I couldn't be bothered to wait around for it.

Under Brian Rose we behaved like one of the wealthiest best supported counties that we are.

Under this regime, we seem to have gone back to the days when we were the poor cousin of the county cricket scene.

Thinking that giving us Chris Gale for a few matches, good though he was, just doesn't wash with most members. I think we're the second longest standing first division team, the club has all but thrown in the towel as far the championship goes, making half hearted attempts to do well in the T 20 by signing Gale, Anderson and Allenby, ignoring the LV leaving us relegation bound which is such a shame.

This is absolutely spot on, the Chris Gayle thing has just been a complete farce, and the powers that be at Somerset seem to think his three appearances are papering over the many cracks of the team.

I thought things couldn't get any worse after last season, but things are certainly looking bleak at the moment

It's a cricket match, keep the City songs for the football season.

Rovers had just bombed out of the league and some guy had those embarrassing quarters on, people weren't going to miss that opportunity

spoke too soon. That Cooper is a waste of space as well.

I was saying the same thing in Cardiff last Saturday, then he suddenly exploded

Will be attending our annual away victory in Bristol.

Remember going in there last year after the game singing city songs some local gas kid got all fiery

No idea of names of stands, as you go in neville Road entrance there is usually a small marquee with a bar in it, usually stand around there. Had a great laugh with Gloucestershire and Somerset fans last season

Being pedantic (but I guess of necessity, practice of the law needs to be pedantic) surely "it is vital for the club to know by June" means the start of June? If what was meant was "by the end of June" wouldn't this have made this clear to avoid ambiguity or specified "by July"?

I agree, that is exactly how I read it.

Guess as written above, it's all about lining pockets now

Assume the June date is to do with how long it will take to get the ground built in time for next season?

So if it goes later it would mean leaving it to the season after?

Has a team ever moved grounds mid season??? 

Loaning Dockrell to one of our relegation rivals. If the Meshy situation wasn't bad enough. So many things wrong at Taunton

And now the frantic calls to get a wicket keeper in on loan for today's match

Two frustrating (rain effected) results In the last two days...

Couldn't believe yesterday, the rain was heavier at the end of the fifth over, and we were ahead on DL, Glamorgan hit a boundary to go ahead on DL (whilst the rain had eased off) next thing the umpires take the teams off

Because Somerset will now fail to qualify or empty words from both parties?

 

Your opinion or 'in the know'?

My opinion based on things people connected with SCCC have said to me

But he will be back for the knock-out games and finals day!

No he won't - don't believe all the PR bullshit from Taunton

And now it's announced Gayle won't be playing Saturday against Glamorgan due to exertions over the past 12 months!!!

Of course nothing to do with the fact he has been on the piss for the past week and spent the past 24 hours out with KP

Strange how he is fit for tomorrow night but not for Saturday

Ohh Lancy Lancy...

Whose Lance?
