Well, match days are going to be fun. Not so much 'bring a bottle' (which are banned anyway) as 'bring a trowel'.

Send in the clowns. Oh look, they're already here...

no, we was talking in the context of that season. he did not allude to just the construction bit. the fact that he wants all t20 at chelmsford despite the fact the castle park game was a runaway success says it all.

If Castle Park is discontinued then it is likely that some Members from that area plus those from Suffolk & Norfolk who probably look forward to the Colchester Festival more than most will stop following us & cancel their Memberships which will be counter productive for Essex.

I'm not sure they care about what members want any more.

I joined partly for free parking as I live outside Essex - without consultation that goes ....

Ilford and Southend have gone.

The 'redevelopment' is an expensive joke with us picking up the tab.

No aspiration from DB to be more than a cat3 ground whatever that is.

All very sad.

it will be very disappointing if when other counties are using more and more out grounds, Essex decide not to.

The common thread with each point you've highlighted is No Consultation.
Indeed, all very sad - at the same time all very predictable. This is the result of fifteen years of ignoring anyone with an alternative opinion and following the same path. Beginning with David East's appointment - by his buddies on the committee - through to Derek Bowden, who clearly hasn't got a clue about cricket or delivering a substantial capital project, a man brought in to progress the development - but has turned it into even more embarrassment with each contradictory statement.

Sadly, all of the above is why an EGM should have been called long ago. These people know they can do what they damn well like and be met with shoulder shrugged resignation.

Good luck with the EGM.

If you were to get enough support. I think that you will find that the people that would be useful have walked away long ago.

If I decided myself to move on. I would forget all about the issues and personalities in six months.

It would take as long as that?

Or active support in the case of certain misguided individuals.
