Sorry Furry, looks like a bit of a washout, should’ve been at Headingly, it’s dry up here…

Yes it wasn’t great. I was in Cote having breakfast and we were inundated with cricket fans all looking disappointed.
Oh, I am so sorry. Is there a plan B for the day?
I wasn’t going to the cricket, I just live near it. My days plans were fine, indoors with breakfast being cooked for us

Tomorrow is a reserve day.The forecast is even worse.
I will be getting the train home late morning.
Spent over three hundred quid and missed my rugby team winning to watch
rain fall.
This is going to be the first domestic one day final to have no play.
Still,Premier Inn breakfasts are rather good and I’ve been in a very nice Wetherspoons.
And I will get a full refund on my match ticket…

That helps a little, but I know it is a disappointment. I had no idea what Wetherspoons is, but I do now! It sounds like you made the best of things. Really sorry about the rainout.

Yeah,Wetherspoons
It’s a pub chain that does cheap food.
Rather like their cod and chips.

Anyway,here is another photo from yesterday
Today is the reserve day.
This is the forecast
Tomorrow,when the weather is good,both teams will be making their way home.
I’m leaving for home late morning!
But first another Premier Inn breakfast to enjoy.

How long have they had that pavilion? It’s horrible.
That isn’t the pavilion.It’s the Radcliffe Road End.The frontage of the Pavilion is still there
amongst all the modern development but I’m not a fan of big modern cricket stadia,Sophia Gardens included.
Last time I was at Trent Bridge was the early nineties.None of this development then.
Todays reserve day is certain not to happen…so at least I keep my record of not seeing Glamorgan lose there.

Sorry to hear your trip has been a washout Furry, we just had some overnight rain but fortunately it stopped long enough for me to do my walk, but apparently there is a shedload of rain heading our way…
Looks like indoor jobs for the rest of the day…

Incredibly,despite the dire forecast,they managed a 20 over contest that Glamorgan won.
Trouble is I was on a train load of cricket fans of both teams who thought there was no prospect of play when they announced they were not even going to try and play a full 50 over game.
And even the trip home has gone wrong.
The train was cancelled in Birmingham due to flooding and we have been sent to Reading.
Where I am now sat on a train waiting for a driver 80 minutes after I should have been in Newport!

On my work commute in the 60’s I used to sit in a train waiting for a driver at Reading.
Daily for three years.
Well done Glam! It’s a sort of honour.

Poor old Furry.Glam rarely win anything and he missed it!
Although he did have the chance to enjoy the pleasures of a Spoons in Nottingham,I suppose.

I wasn’t there when they won it in 2021 either.
Nor at Canterbury in 93 when they won the Sunday League or when they won the National League there in 2002.
Or Colwyn Bay when they won it in 2004.
And they won the second division of the National League in 2001 on a day they weren’t actually playing.
I did manage to be in Taunton when they won the Championship in 1997….
