A pox on all of them.

Or the fusarium disease that got into the Lords pitch and caused Bob Massie to roll us over in two days.

The choice of Cardiff won't go down well in Taunton in particular or Bristol, Durham another Test ground also miss out so they won't be overjoyed either.
Give it 5 years & people will tire of it hopefully, interesting that it will run without interfering with the existing County T20, How? There won't be enough available days in Summer surely? Maybe they'll just scrap the CC to fit it in!!

It will clash with the 50 over and CC competitions. Assuming the city stuff runs in late July/August then the T20 competition will need to be pulled forward into May/June/Early July, in other words a warm up for the City c**p.
Can anyone really see many people from Somerset/Glo/Devon/Cornwall travelling to Cardiff to see a 20-20 game ... between Cardiff and say Leeds...when it will be live on the BBC?!
Utter cack.

Any chance that target audience for franchise cricket are juniors with their parents who are new to the game. Also corporate business people, rather then existing county membership supporters? Therefore cricketing authorities will be confident that franchise T20 will be successful as a result.

The bit I can never understand is why this new audience are not already attending the existing 20/20 competition. I think families do go a lot more now and the crowds are better balanced but I do not believe there are still huge numbers to be converted. Time will tell.

The ECB haven't got a clue. They're simply copying the Big Bash hoping for the same success. No insight whatsoever.

No mention of the London Olympic stadium, which presumes leaves Essex to pursue has a venue for OD games in future .

Cost issues and clash with football

At last year's AGM or possibly a Forum, the Chief Exec said that the London Stadium idea was "not quite dead but only just breathing" or words to that effect. I suspected at the time that Essex were hanging fire in the hope that the ECB would make it a venue for the new T20 and stump up cash for the conversion costs, so that the club could then use it for the domestic T20. With that possibility gone I think the idea is now well and truly deceased.

I think the ECB want to use the venue for the 2-19 World Cup.

Yes, I heard that comment, too. I might...... note the might ...... be prepared to travel to the Olympic Stadium (or whatever it’s called now, or will be in the future) for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon t20, but I wouldn’t go for a Friday, or other weeknight, game.
Saturday/Sunday afternoon at Lord or The Oval...... less likely.
Mind, I’m not the target audience; I go and watch cricket already!

Lots of Afghans in East London.

Ah, imagining the smell of Shisha's and funny tobacco makes me pine for the mysterious east. I'm off for a coffee.

In fact there's lots of every nationality in East London ... except British it seems.

Not a very PC statement!! Sadly it's true as I know from living in Ilford!!

I wouldn't go near Stratford on a Friday night in anything other than a small tank. It is a dump of the highest order. Whilst Citizen Khan calls 4 lifelong hammers hooligans, he ignores the hundreds of stabbings and acid attacks not caused by football supporters in the borough of Newham. Not to mention a dozen shootings this year (deaths only, there may be more).
3rd world s***hole of the highest order.

You would need a tank to get past the crash barriers in place at the stadium.
Besides Stratford on a Friday night is no worse than Romford in warzone terms.

I notice that Sorry's Richard Thompson has now followed Andy Nash of Somerset & resigned from ECB over the way things are being handled as Counties are being treated badly, also Gloucs & Somerset appear to be rightly up in arms re Glam & their £2.5m freebie from the ECB which is blatantly unfair anyway, additionally nobody appears to like how Graves is running things - no surprises there.
I am so glad Mr Faragher for Essex voted against the T20 Franchise format, it looks as if he was wise in his thinking & a few other Counties are beginning to realise they have been misled/conned depending on your point of view!
