  2. The County Cricket Thread

    I don't get why there's not a T20 game on sky every day, surely should have been easy enough to organise but we have gaps of 3 or 4 days without a game when there's no other county cricket and games being played.

    They've reduced the number of T20 Blast games being televised. Obviously this isn't any kind of attempt to make the Blast less of a success as The Hundred arrives...

    Wow, that's unexpected! I assumed it would roll through any day now, well any day from Sunday onwards.

    John Percy- who seems reliable on Derby matters- also corroborates this.

    Might also add, seeking a third loan from MSD. Well Pride Park or perhaps the lease on Pride Park is deemed security- and then the Training Ground.

    Now, a third eh? In addition, those Gabay loans/charges are also still showing at Companies House on the relevant companies as it goes.

    I'd be surprised if MSD charge a low rate of interest, especially in these times- but who knows?

    Kieran Maguire report that Southampton's loan from MSD is at 9.14%: https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1349066890069635072

    Perhaps that can be expected to be higher for a Championship club which might be seen as slightly less financially secure without Premier League TV rights (or the security of parachute payments) behind it.

    Are you sure about this?

    I've not seen this 50% figure mentioned anywhere else

    It's in the Government's winter plan (paragraph 58e - page 31 of the PDF below, shows as page 27 in the top right corner of the page):

    "The government will also introduce spectator capacity limits for sports stadia, business events and live performances in tiers where these are permitted. These limits will vary depending on whether the event is held indoors or out. At tier 1 these will be 50% capacity or 4,000 outdoors and 1,000 indoors, whichever is lower and at tier 2 these will be 50% capacity or 2,000 outdoors and 1,000 indoors, whichever is lower."

    The new chief exec's purported LinkedIn doesn't exactly shout that they've recruited a sharp operator...

    ...he also appears to have started a company (C&E SPORTING MANAGEMENT LIMITED) earlier this year and he is personally a registered intermediary with the FA - that sounds like a potential conflict of interest.

    EFL update:

    The EFL can confirm that 1014 players and Club staff from all 24 Championship Clubs have been tested for COVID-19 over the course of the last 72 hours, with two individuals testing positive from one Club.

    Those players or Club staff who have tested positive will now self-isolate in line with the guidelines provided by the EFL and only those who have tested negative will be permitted to enter training ground facilities.

    The EFL will continue to make regular and relevant announcements as appropriate in respect of the testing programme to support competition integrity and transparency.

    No specific details as to Clubs or individuals will be provided by the League.

    ...I have even heard Lansdown describe them as such (albeit things like the basketball)...

    It's almost like the BBL is operated on a franchise model...

    "Firstly, the BBL is based on franchises, similar to the US system in sport. There is no promotion and relegation between the BBL and EBL and NBL clubs cannot join the BBL based on their performances in official competition alone. However, NBL clubs and any other organisations can apply for a franchise from BBL." http://www.bbl.org.uk/faq/

    So looking at the Derby County stadium ownership... The freehold of DY342736 was transferred to GELLAW NEWCO 202 LIMITED (registered 19th June 2018) and registered on 30th July 2018. GELLAW NEWCO 202 LIMITED was incorporated with GELLAW NEWCO 201 LIMITED (registered  18th June 2018) holding the only share in the company. GELLAW NEWCO 201 appointed its liquidators 10 days after its incorporation in a members voluntary liquidation on 28th June 2018.

    If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...
