-
Played Tynemouth couple of years ago, nice enough club at a good standard.
-
good standard dont tell me i may have to be sober for one of these games
-
not being sober didn't stop sobers ...
-
Greg keeps for Tynemouth 1s, don't know what team you be playing but they are are an ECB prem side with Shahid Nazir opening the bowling!
-
I know some of the above teams really well and know the grounds also, drop me a message bud and i can give you the run down on each of them.
-
What kind of prem equal to Birmingham prem or lower?
Plus hopefully that's not the same bowler that Bowled that Beamer on you tube lol
-
Roco
most prem are very similar only difference is the northern sides tend to spend more on proffesionals than southern teams
southern sides tend to go with county 2nd eleven players and occasionally 1st class players were up north all the overseas have to have played 5 first class games in the calender year to gain a visa
-
So not full county players then do similar to our prem as they have a few high level players so not too bad but it is all about fun for us so hope it is for other teams
Pm'd you rich
-
More people up North watch cricket more beer is drunk so more money is spent on proffesionals
last club i played for up North they paid the pro around £20k Tom Mongeese know sponsors him....
It my sound very narrow minded but i have played quite a while up North and Down south it just the way it is
-
More beer drunk i like what I'm hearing
We can just call the cricket a draw
-
Maybe that one may be a little generic but you can have up to 700-1000 people on for a good lancashire league game.
and when half of them are pissed it makes a great atmosphere..
-
Well I can honestly say there will be another 7-8 slightly tipsy and most likely being told off by our skipper(as happens most weeks)
-
aaron i might meet up with you up there be good to meet up and invite rich as well
-
I have replied roco and let me know the date of the games as i may come along and watch, the area you are going to has some of the best night life available anywhere in the World and i can certainly recommend certain clubs and bars if you like. Ive played against both Tynemouth and Stocksfield on many many occasions but don't know a lot about the other two I'm afraid but i think they are both on the Tyne Valley Hexham and Stocksfiled certainly are and possibly Newton.
Bring your surf board with you bud as Tynemouth has one of the best beeches in the UK however the water is on the cold side to say the least lol, has good night life and not far to Whitley bay also.
-
Yeah do it it's 24-29 July so holiday time mate just not looking forward to the league game on the sat after a week on tour ha
-
Make sure you drop me an email or give me a call the week before to remind me about it, im not sure when my holidays are but if im at home i will come along for sure.
-
Will do getting more info in two weeks at the agm
