Title: Team Gooch v Team ten Doeschate 150th Anniversary Legends match
Post by: JasonP on July 23, 2026, 05:44:27 PM

There's a match tomorrow at the county ground between Team Gooch and Team ten Doeschate to celebrate 150 years of Essex cricket.  They're charging ?20 for adults to get in and yet apart from mentioning about 2 weeks ago that Sir Alastair Cook will be playing unless I've missed it I've seen nothing on it since.   You wouldn't know it was on if you'd looked at the club social media over the last week or so.  I have no interest in going myself but how you expect to attract people to the game if A you don't tell anyone who's playing and B don't mention the match is on I have no idea.

Another example of the club's incompetence.

I'm going but they are not opening the River Gate - one wonder's if that's cause they don't expect too many to come
