Hello all,

Myself and Robin have settled on a tour to either Blackpool or Brighton. We are looking first of all for some general info on clubs to play against in those areas.

Any help would be appreciated.

Indeed, if anyone on the forum represents a club that would be willing to take a bunch of beered up idiots for a day of drinkng, eating, laughs and maybe some cricket, please get in touch.

Our tour is almost certain to be August 4-7th, and we would be looking for fixtures (typically long format; 40/50 overs or even a timed game) on the 4th, 5th and 6th of August.

Many thanks,

Jake

OK, so i got very little joy (aka no response) from clubs based in our first choice which was Blackpool. Having looked at some of the clubs in and around Brighton, i am hoping we can get some fixtures arranged there, many of the grounds look lovely.

I have fired off some emails, any forum help would be appreciated.

We toured Brighton about 3 years ago now and had a great time. We only had one game in and around Brighton itself which was against Rottingdean, who were a great bunch of lads and a lovely ground to boot. The other two teams we played were a bit of a trek from Brighton - Crowborough and Hailsham. We played Hailsham during their cricket week and had a good time, especially as the social club across the road had �1 pints on to celebrate their cricket week! They were also drinking before the game with us and continued drinking games afterwards with them.

Brighton is Class. Good nights out, if you fancy playing some cricket there are alot of good clubs in Surrey/Sussex too, which is only 30/45 mins away.

If you're coming down to Brighton I can recommend a few clubs to speak to who have decent grounds/nice people etc.

Decent Clubs in Brighton:
St Peters Cricket Club - right in the middle of brighton - nice bunch.
St Matthias Play at Sussex Uni.

Best grounds I know around the area:
Preston Nomads. Lovely ground just near Fulking village. Excellent facilities etc. Just on the north side of Devils dyke. 5 mins from Brighton.
Ditchling CC - again a brilliant ground.
Southwick Wanderers. They play at Plumpton College (15 mins drive from Brighton to the North East) - lovely place to play - facilities a bit shoddy, but very nice bunch.

Some a bit further away:
Findon Cricket Club play at a lovely ground at Long Ferlong. 30 mins west of Brighton.
Chichester Priory Cricket Club sometime play matches at Goodwood - which is a very impressive ground with the famous goodwood house overlooking it all. An hour east of Brighton.
West Wittering have a really nice ground. But its a bit out of the way south of Chichester.

I'd suggest playing us - but we're fully booked all through the season for our teams. And our ground is not lovely!

Many thanks, i've already contacted most of those clubs. I didn't bother with Ditchling as they have a cricket week with a full set of fixtures already.

There were a couple on your list i did not know about so i have contacted them.

Change of plan after drawing a total blank with Brighton and Blackpool.

I've enlisted ProCricketer1982 for help with Cheltenham. 2 fixtures lined up already, great stuff. Maybe a side business for you mate?
