Notice that Edgbaston  has a double header fixture today, presume to TV coverage. Are the Eagles involved in future ?

Not sure they'd want to be?  It means giving up a home match as Derbyshire have done.

Best way to do it in the South would be at the Oval. Surrey v Essex, Middlesex v Kent. Middlesex are only allowed to play 4 home group games at Lord's so would no doubt be happy to have a 'home game' at the Oval rather than Radlett/Merchant Taylors. Crowd was over 12k apparently so assuming Derbyshire share the gate receipts with Warwickshire, they'll have probably made more money from 'Blast Off' than they would've for a regular home game.
