Nelly Terraces Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Can't be far off it Boris. Southee's unreal 77 cameo will've broken all sorts of records I'd reckon. Good recovery from England in the series and this game in particular. Siders has been the bizzo, compare his attitude to that of loser Harmison the homer, it's night & day. Roll on the summer, I'm making it down south for a few ODI's and a coupla days at the tests. Cricket rules. Bring on the lager! NT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Terraces Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 ?48 for that game is a rip off so I'll be giving it a miss, pity as not every day a game like that comes to yer own city, but you can get into the ODI's & tests at Old Traff, Headingly etc and watch 2 REAL sides (no a diddy team like Scotland), in a proper ground for less. Again, Edinburgh proves to be the rip off capital of the UK, actually think you can get into ceratin areas at the Oval for cheaper than that! Might just jump the wall and get in mind you!

Put it this way, if you live in, or near Manc, Leeds, Durham, Notts etc, then you're geting a better product cheaper. I look as going darn sarf to watch the games as a joll, me adn a few boys went to Manc for one of the ODIs v india last seaz, had a coupla days there, top trip, plus I lived in London for years so if go to a game there I'll have a few days catching up wi mates etc and getting pished. ***** magic, cannot wait:beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im getting to watch a far superior product as well. Although its an excuse to see my mates its still a better deal. If you were travelling eg from Aberdeen you would be paying more than I would going to Leeds. Its a shameful way for Scottish cricket to make a quick buck. They want to encourage people to come and develop the game up here whilst making this an annual fixture. This isnt the way to go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My full price ticket, even though im a student as well, is less than than discounted tickets that you are buying. Its more a point of principle as we are being held to ransom for this game at a time where we are trying to encourage people to take an interest. It only cost ?15 for a student and ?25 for when the Aussies came up FFS! They've got it all wrong IMO and I will not be attending because of it. EDIT: Nelly try and book the hotel now. They are doing discounts for Travelodge in the city centre. My mate got rooms for ?9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
