Oh my God!  Stand by for the stampede from anyone in the area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a bat made there years ago and James and Bill's enthusiasm shone through - I was there for ages, stroking the dog and talking cricket and kit.

I wonder who'll take this up?

What a great offer, I'm sure you'll get a fair few interested parties!

If a similar offer came up in Yorkshire or the North East I would snap their hands off.

Great work Bill. This is a wonderful offer and it's so good to see someone giving something back to the industry, the art of bat making and the game we all love.

What a great opportunity! Now just to explain to the other half that we should forget my salary, not worry about the mortgage, leave my job, and move to Crewe to become a bat maker!

How sceptical some people are can't spot a genuine offer when it's presented to them.

Guys, you're probably far better giving Bill a call if you can get his number.
