@BoothCricket Should have let them on the square for a "Bring A Spade Party."

@JohnShepheard2 @GeorgeDobell1 Come on John. Rob Key's dog loves him, but even he knows his master is burgling a living after that Ashes tour debacle.

@typesfaster @clairemnash And yet you're still there.

@judewa_ @davidoncricket @Middlesex_CCC @surreycricket @HomeOfCricket @ECB_cricket OK, let me tell you how @ECB_cricket are to blame for this. Because they have promoted franchise cricket almost exclusively to the detriment of the counties' shortest form. #FTECB

@the_brixtonian @davidoncricket @Middlesex_CCC @surreycricket @HomeOfCricket @ECB_cricket However you spin it, @ECB_cricket undermining counties by only promoting franchises is working. Only one more bag of copper nails into the 200 year old tree and she should topple.

@DuncanBannatyne Was a member of Beechdown Basingstoke, the club you just bought, until recently. I missed it and was thinking of taking one of the rejoining offers. Chances of me signing up again now you're aligned with the neo-Fascists? Or ever setting foot in the place again? Zero.

@RyanStess @SDPhq Er... there was actually. By drastically cutting entitlement spending the worst forms of economic migration cease overnight.

[Manwith Largehat @manwithlargehat]

@ros_watts @GeorgeDobell1 @stephenjmann Oh, ok. So the club is perfectly entitled to host a political meeting as long as the politicians involved are the ones you agree with? Got that.

Also, making insults out of cretinism is very uncool. Please take this as an opportunity to educate yourself. Thank you.

@SomersetCCC @SCCCBrianTheCat Made my season. What a lad!

[Manwith Largehat @manwithlargehat]

@shotsmanic @OfficialShots So with this news your hot take is..... that the tickets are too expensive. Yeah, righto mate. Off you pop to Farnham Town. Your negativity won't be missed.

I guess if all you have is a hammer absolutely everything looks like a nail.

@Parody_PM @JamesCleverly @Conservatives James's cousin Chris might have a view too.

@MikeBales @KentWomble And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses.

(If you didn't sing it in your head with the melody we can't be friends, sorry.)

@PopsR47 @Rainmaker1973 Quite the leap there Einstein. And for the purposes of your conclusion, your initial "I assume" is way off the mark.

[Manwith Largehat @manwithlargehat]

@glencolegate @nimishdubey Over to you, @jimmy9 🤣🤣🤣

[Manwith Largehat @manwithlargehat]

Sussex "supportive of a wider discussion led by the ECB connected to the next round of media rights negotiations."

Translation : "having been legged over once by the Governing Body, I can't wait for the next opportunity to get legged over again."

What a fool.

[Chris Stocks @StocksC_cricket]

@TheiPaperSport asked every county chief exec 2 questions:
1. Are you planning on putting streams behind a paywall in near future?
2. Would you back an MLB-style collective paid platform?
The answers were quite revealing and positive for fans https://t.co/CAb1Vxi0tU

Well there I was only last week praising @BBCLeicester and the other BBCLR stations for their cricket output. And then they go and do this two weeks into the season. An absolute travesty.

Actually provides a valuable service. Especially now with the Foxes back in Division 1. The players respect Richard Rae and an awful lot of time, skill & passion (often for scant reward) has just been discarded. I’m angry (sure you can tell) and sad.

[Manwith Largehat @manwithlargehat]

@InnoBystander @lancscricket More evidence that a matter of principle means nothing to people who worship only money.

[Manwith Largehat @manwithlargehat]

@lancscricket To quote that great Mancunian Roy Keane, you can stick it up yer bollocks.

[Manwith Largehat @manwithlargehat]

@RHolmes70 @WG_RumblePants @lancscricket Driving copper nails into a 200 year old tree.

It has happened so often I am now at the conclusion it has to be by design, not by accident.

They'd have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling members.

(You know, the people who actually OWN the club!)

@FredTitmus Good bowling always beats good batting. Always has, always will.
