No Trent Bridge in the Ashes again?
What a waste of time the new t20 competition is going to be, I'll be (No Swearing Please) if I'm schlepping over to Cardiff to go and see the Welsh Dragons or whoever play and I suspect most county fans will think the same. Going to be embarrassing when the county grounds are still full watching the Blast and the test match grounds are half empty for the new comp.
-
T20 at Lords? Blimey are you allowed to clap during the game?
-
Come on you South London Swans!

This.
Parochially, sure, I like Headingley being in the list. But Australia will not getter better against the swinging ball, so why not have a test at the one place on earth it always swings! Plus, its an awesome ground.
-
ECB blatantly fobbed Trent Bridge off with giving them the 50 over final rather than an Ashes Test.
-
Whilst I admit it's odd that it's not being hosted at what is a fortress for us, to be fair it's hosting test matches over 4 of the 5 years, plus is getting the 50 over competition and the T20 Blast finals days from Edgbaston. Don't think they can complain too much, really?

Blast finals day is staying at Edgbaston isn't it.

Been to quite a few Middlesex games there and it’s pretty good for the t20. Like the oval will bring in big crowds due to being in the city with people going after work
-
There was always going to be one major ground to miss out if they do 5 tests, plus they do have that odd stand with the silly boundary!? ;)
-
So what do we all think the new teams are going to be then now that the venues have been announced -
Lord's - North London
Oval - South London
Old Trafford - Manchester
Headingley - Leeds
Edgbaston - Birmingham
Ageas Bowl - Southampton
Trent Bridge - Nottingham
Cardiff - Cardiff

Didn't Yorkshire (and maybe Lancashire) demand not to be called Leeds and suggest White Rose instead?

Indeed I have too I wasn't being totally serious. I support Middlesex,play in Middlesex and live in London
But Lords is flat, no lateral movement, no pace and no bounce,so as far as tests go, if the square is not relaid it will be same old same old. I watched Misbah bat for ages last year on a pancake wicket that offered nothing.
I'd rather the test match at Trent bridge to be honest, more chance for us-it's been a good venue in the past.
Touring teams love and get Inspired by playing at Lords? Yes I'm sure they do. But I don't give a stuff .
We really have got to stop being so hospitable, I don't see the same when we go abroad.

Edgbaston - Birmingham

Trent Bridge - Nottingham
Cardiff - Cardiff

Doubt Lancashire would want to be called the White Rose, but it's very flattering for us yorkies :)

Not about whether Notts can complain so much as wanting to take the Ashes to the masses whilst getting the same conditional advantage every other team gets.

I realy hope it goes something like this.

You want an English ground with English swinging conditions about as English place you are going to get, but of course jettisoned by the ECB and weren’t going to get a t20 either.... any guesses which county I support? Oh well!

I thought the teams werent going to be named after the cities or counties they were based in, so as not to alienate residents of neighbouring "rival" towns/cities.

Will that really make any difference what so ever!
Someone from Bristol isn't going to support the side playing at Cardiff whether they are called Cardiff or the Welsh Dragons etc... and the same can be said for living in Newcastle and supporting Leeds/White Rose or living in Kent area and supporting South London or what ever they are likely to want to call themselves.
It's all about loyalty to the counties and the quite simple geography of our country.

I thought so too. It's strange but as a Sheffield Wednesday fan I immediately baulked when you mentioned the Headingly team might be called Leeds, but i'd be well behind them if it was Yorkshire or White Rose or whatever else.
Old habits die hard.
