One option is for the ECB to contract all players for 4 day cricket and allocate them to teams. Given they give £40m to first class cricket, that money could be used for a reduced first class structure focussed at developing team England. The ECB choose the grounds and contract the staff.This leaves the counties to fund themselves for one day only and hopefully make a profit.

Why do this? Well the ECB could control pricing and run it at a loss but in return develop a stronger first class structure with less teams. The counties can focus on one day cricket and reduce overheads while getting pretty much the same revenues they get now.

Middlesex membership if your club is associated is about £40 for the season. As many trips to lords as you want
