May have to recalibrate. Instead if 20 or so marquees, invest a bit of the earmarked Hundred divi in the 2,000 clubs less than 1 mile from 13,000 primary schools.

Really important interview by Sir Jimmy from the May
@TheCricketerMag by @richardgibsonDM

We wait to see how much of the £ pledged to the State School Action Plan and other ECB initiatives by the (admittedly lame-duck) Conservative government will be retained by the current govt

[CCDN @ClubDevel]

Shropshire was pointless. WTF. @CricketShrops work to be done.

Big moment for the future of county cricket

[CCDN @ClubDevel]

Already does by starting to play in wrong season 🥶

[Huw Turbervill @huwzat]

Is it time for cricket to follow rugby league's lead with its 'IMG Grading’ system?

In the final reporting of results from one of the most detailed investigations into the state of recreational cricket, John Swannick reveals the concerns clubs have over the next five to 10 years...

[The Cricketer @TheCricketerMag]

"The survey reveals a significant disconnect between clubs' universally high expectations of ECB support for club cricket and perception of their performance."

✍️ John Swannick reports on how the club game wants greater collaboration with the governing body...

[The Cricketer @TheCricketerMag]

Catch up on some of the stories you might have missed this week...

[The Cricketer @TheCricketerMag]

Club cricket is challenged by rising costs, but is more resilient than many think.

John Swannick has polled more than 500 clubs for their opinions...

[James Coyne @coynejames]

Quite proud of this investigation into club cricket by @swannick @ClubDevel on behalf of @TheCricketerMag

A must-read for anyone involved in club cricket ahead of a supposed cash windfall for "recreational cricket", whatever the ECB define that as

[john swannick @swannick]

@nassercricket @Athersmike Judging from your latest
@SkyCricket podcast you need this affirmation of current recreational picture underlining the positives

[James Coyne @coynejames]

Pride before a fall etc etc...

But the latest @TheCricketerMag has the kind of deep dive into club cricket by @swannick and @ClubDevel network that other UK publications are simply not doing

Playing numbers, ground issues, ECB performance. It's all in there...

When @WolverhamptonCC played in the 1973 National Club knockout final @HomeOfCricket they needed special dispensation for their scorer, the headmistressly Miss Molly Orton, to enter the pavillion. Wearing a daring twinset and pearls.

[john swannick @swannick]

Another good PR move would be to move the final to Bristol. Unless there's a reason not to have a full ground celebration by saving a schlep across country for @GlamCricket and @SomersetCCC faithful.

So long as @CiderPress_ and @tregs140 get to do the livestream.
