Title: Essex Ladies .
Post by: bwildered on July 25, 2024, 06:53:40 PM: Looks like the Ladies have five home fixtures in the 50 over Championship in the next few weeks . But no mention of Meteor way being available .
Given that Essex have a franchise next season, will Meteor way be open for ladies fixtures and how would this impinge the current set up of restrictioned openings ?

The club rightly have no intention of forking out for extra security/police to man the park in case a few planks fancy trying to cause some criminal damage.

Was it cancelled on police advice ?
