Members' Forum - Wednesday 11 November

[Slogger]

Thanks Pablo. Excellent report.

I too got the impression that Bowden and Hilliard had supported all  Championship options (including the status quo) on offer, at various times. Bowden and RI were also very, very keen on the Olympic stadium for all forms of limited over cricket, not just 20/20, as are, allegedly England, although there is the little matter of a satisfactory "drop in" pitch to be sorted out.

So are we looking at all white ball cricket at Stratford, building flats all over Chelmsford and playing half dozen 4 day games on out grounds? Better roll out the mobile scoreboard!

Ah the mobile scoreboard.
At least it's quicker on updating the score than the new one at Chelmsford.

I have a real affection for the mobile scoreboard. As a junior member in the 70s, my dream job was operating it. I never reached those heights.

it's OK, you don't have to reach those heights, they have a long pole for the high up numbers.

I am still to receive an e-mail with the official summary of this meeting. Anybody else in the same boat ?

I've put a request note on the Facebook site.

So far, zilch.

Dear all,

If you have any other queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Having paid a visit to the ECCC official website this morning, I can find no summary of the Members Forum - now almost two weeks after it took place. Is Irani still using his crayon in censoring the aspects of it unflattering to him?
Once again, it's all very laudable promising "innovation" at ECCC, but it seems to be more empty words.

Give them a (slight) break. It's the close season and most members are Christmas shopping or huddling up close to their one radiator whilst watching daytime TV.

Anyone know Derek Bowden's or Nigel Hilliard's email addresses? Otherwise it's going to have to be snail mail complaint!

That's because it is real-time updating unlike the main scoreboard which has to wait whilst the position to which the ball was hit has been plotted.

wouldn't have thought Laurel and Hardy would make email addresses public for obvious reasons.

Tony. I think most of us appreciate the work you have done to get the scoreboard into shape. BUT it is still far too slow!!   Most of ended up checking the manual board first. Is it true that it will not be used next season.

Surely someone else can plot the wagonwheels etc.

[Andy]

Just tell the US Military that the two batsmen are Ahmed and Khan - they'll then let Tony borrow their hi tech, hi-speed, GPS targeting for the wagon wheels.

...and probably end up blowing up the Tom Pearce stand in a collateral damage incident. Who said good ?

No - probably more likely to wipe out Garon Park!
