A disappointing but deserved defeat for the 1’s against @TeddingtonCC. Won 2, Lost 2 for the ones thus far. A narrow defeat for the 2’s. @KnellerHallSch
@saintlymark@JacobWSmith10@ConceptArsenal Cricket has far more problems than the 100. Locally Middlesex are absolutely woeful in T20 so why would people go and watch. I personally watched a club fame yesterdsy which was far more satisfying
@JacobWSmith10@saintlymark@ConceptArsenal I choose not to go to both despite being a member of Middlesex and MCC. I have no affinity with the London Spirit, no historic allegiance, no connection to any of the players and am bored of watching endless slogging
@saintlymark@JacobWSmith10@ConceptArsenal And you simply cannot compare football and cricket in terms of paying followers. Surrey has less members than can be accommodated at Brentford’s little ground.
@saintlymark@JacobWSmith10@ConceptArsenal The issue is that 20,000 people who did not support either Middlesex or Surrey would go for a night out. Now they choose to go to watch the 100.
@weymarplanet Bank holiday weekend; half term; ticket prices; Middlesex are crap; last day of Premier League (4 matches in London; every match on TV; club cricket; family commitments. So many reasons not to go.
@ConceptArsenal@saintlymark@JacobWSmith10 I agree. I went to every Middx v Surrey match at Lords from 2004 to 2019. Full houses every time but perhaps as many as 75% did not care who won. They were there for a night out. Now they have options for a crash bang wallop night out at Lords when the 💯 is on.
That has been one of the most pathetic abject performances by an @everton side I have ever seen. Devoid of any skill, any fight, any passion. Simply awful.
