My Ground
« on: October 04, 2012, 11:52:28 AM »

I'm claiming this - you can just see a glimpse of my clubs second field in this photo on the Somerset County cricket website (the 3rd of october one) - http://www.somersetcountycc.co.uk/

Not really that exciting, but I enjoyed it :D

I will get some decent photos of our facilities and chuck them up shortly.

Keeping with this theme, don't suppose you guys wanted to post some pictures of your home grounds, just give us a glimpse of what each others fields look like. (Sorry if there is already a topic for this, my search function isn't working atm)

First ever Turf ground in Eastern Europe coming up in Romania in 2013. It has 7 turf pitches . The ground meets international standards.

That looks amazing! Where on earth did you/they find the funding for that? That must cost millions of blobs...or zlots or whatever romanian money is called......(hmmm...maybe euros?  :D )

The funding comes from  a business tycoon. He has invested millions in this game. Romania has applied for ICC affiliation this year and ICC will most probably grant it by next summer.

The design is actually very reminiscent of the original Rose Bowl (now the Ageas Bowl) in Hampshire... Looks like it will be a great place to play cricket...
