As per usual, the communication within our Club is the poorest in the country.
Every county has released 2nd X1 fixtures for the season, nothing on our website.
Some people need to plan there season and like to watch the seconds, also as of yet I am still awaiting my life membership details, a cool investment of nearly 1300 and nothing apart from a receipt generated in the county office.

:I happened across them on the website the other day. Looks like a game at Colchester

Thanks Slogger, found them, but not under 2nd Eleven fixtures, they are under a seperate header with the firsts games.
Yes Gloucestershire at Colchester is very appealing.
-
I got excited when I saw a game at Colchester, and then realised it clashes with the first team in action at Chelmsford , also against Glos on the same 4 days! >:(
-
That is ludicrous. Surely if someone pointed it out to them a new date could be arranged?
-
Maybe they're saving money, with the same coach bringing both teams up from Gloucs.

No problem. The 1st team game will be over in 2 days so leaving 2 days for you to enjoy the 2XI game.

That most enjoyable mini festival at Coggeshall has gone. Clearly the club haven't grasped the affection some stalwarts have for high summer cricket played on outgrounds. Maybe that's what you get when ex players run the show, who presumably don't like roughing it at club grounds.
-
Agreed Slogger. Had some enjoyable days at Coggeshall, especially the beer festival!
-
Same old stuff, last year I posted this post about lack of information with the 2nds.
I contacted the club and they said they were working on it.
Lucky you can now plan your season by visiting other counties websites as most of them had posted out their 2nds fixtures by Xmas.
Also we have a first eleven pre season friendly at Canterbury, has that been mentioned on the site and I have missed it?

My friend in Kent told me about the friendly some time ago!

A good friend has got hold of the fixture list, Warwickshire and Durham at Billericay in early April.
Castle Park in early July v Hampshire.
4 x 20/20 games at Garons, these were very well supported last season.
Only game at Chelmsford, 20\20 v Kent

Thanks. I assume no Coggeshall or Halstead fixtures?
-
No Halstead or Coggeshall, I think all of the 4 day is at Billericay.

Thanks Crisp. Shame about those rural mini festivals. They were good fun.

The Coggeshall club says there is.
Not sure when though.

Well at least the bar will be open at Billericay CC. Oh wait...

Shock, horror!

The Sarfend conurbation is a huge catchment area for all things Essex cricket and they should still be playing 1XI matches there...but at Southchurch Park.
-
Nice of the County to finally publish the 2nds fixtures but I now see that the game against Durham is to be played in Suffolk at Woolpit, nice ground to be honest
-
Awaiting news of where the first game v Warwickshire is going to be switched to
-
The first championship game v Warwickshire on 10 April at Billericay appears to have been cancelled - presumably because an alternative venue could not found?
The one day game at Fenners on Thurs 6th has been called off because of a wet ground
-
Why is Billericay not available?
-
Absolute shambles, along with no communication, I presume the game will have to be rearranged at a later date?
Also who is paying the Warwickshire expenses as I presume this close they will have booked hotels etc?
-

I understand their groundsman retired. He kept a number of grounds in the county and a large number of clubs are now strugling.
-
The groundstaff at Billericay are contracted by Essex who started advertising two posts in February
