Ah not quite, perhaps Notts v Essex still getting bonus points today. With that game completed we are 2 ahead of Essex, 5 ahead of Notts.

Really pleasing start to the season. Oddly the squad, on paper, looks weaker than those that struggled over the last 5 years or so.
Assuming Essex and Notts draw today, we will be 3 points ahead of Essex with a game in hand, 8 points ahead of Notts and 9 ahead of Durham. With Essex having just the one game to play (against Derbyshire) I'd say we are well placed to finish in the top 2. If we beat Durham in our penultimate game I'd think we were pretty much qualified for the top group, a draw and we'd still be in a very strong position with us to play Worcester and Notts v Durham. Durham beating us would make things more .... interesting.

Does seem a mess doesn't it? Told today, policy has changed and parking is available for disabled members, but you probably knew already.

Tried to get one for my Mum, who is 80 and a member. Response was they'll only be made available to people who had one last year. I explained her and Dad had a pass for years but didn't update the year he died. But didn't do any good. Also not possible to buy parking by the day for the Notts game - don't know why. Real problem for Mum (and other elderly members) where walking or the bus aren't great options.

Yes I agree with all of that. Looks like a fine player based on his stats but I'm not sure short spells ever really work. A bit tough on the player as well who will be scraping the ice off his car windscreen before driving to the ground. Perhaps one advantage is player and team get to have a look at each other and if they both like what they see might do a longer deal in the future (Did Jeets come to us that way?)

I'm glad this is back, a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, a pure deed in a crooked world.
