"With the counties at grassroots level, they are often struggling financially and we need to start the model with a financially viable competition and work out from that. Bransgrove said the Ageas Bowl, the home of Hampshire, would be one of the venues likely to hold the new tournament, but he was keen to stress that it would be a collective arrangement.
It's not about having an advantage over, say Leicestershire. It's about all the counties sharing in the wealth that a properly conducted T20 tournament would be able to achieve."
In my considered opinion, what an A-hole. Not only does his plan stink, but the pathetic attempt at a justification for screwing over the likes of Leics suggests that he once was a shop owner, but still is a mechant banker.
I'm waiting for an ex-ECCC player to come on here and justify the destruction of ECCC.
