no he wasnt stood behind netting stupidly, it hit his wheel chair but he said it hit him, they had like every member of staff out there making a huge fuss, checking him out and road testing his wheel chair. and then demanded an aoplogy form me as i was closest next over and i was like ummm no haha i didnt do it and he should be sat behind netting...or atleast facing the cricket as at the time he'd been facing the wrong way! Idiots haha :)

One of the buildings has a roof tile missing, from one of our batsmen :), other than that the place is compelte perfection.

Always liked Normandy CC and Sunbury CC, dislike most of the Croydon grounds!!

My own club has a reasonably pretty ground - has anyone ever played at Chertsey CC?

Mr Cat, I have never had the honour of playing at chertsey, Maybe one day. Normandy is nice on their main ground, But that one round the corner seems horrid, But spose not many teams will have two pitches next to each other.

played at Chertsey about 20 years ago, when they were in the Lee 75 League. Always did a bit. Last game I played on it we scored 230 ao, having been 190-0 (Dr Paul Hawkins of Hawkeye fame getting runs from what I remember) and Chertsey did something similar, falling 10 runs short with 9 down.

ahhh when i said bedminster before i think i meant bishopston, which is the one with the homes around it that looks like its been painted, near henbury i think, top of the hill before westbury on trymme???

Good to hear that Bishopston is a nice ground, they were promoted into our league this season so should be a good day out :)
