Out Grounds

[dew48]

Couldn't believe last nights match. Why is Middlesex playing an evening game at a ground without flood lights?  I'm surprised that the ECB permit it as the Pitch/ground is certainly not fit for purpos. 

Another point/question, will this policy continue next year, as a non driver living east of London it is impossible to, sensibly, attend games at Radlett, I accept the odd game at Richmond or Upminster (both nice trips on a Sunday afternoon) but playing the majority of games away from Lords will force me to cancel my membership.

The situation will only get worse. With the introduction of The Hundred. Lord's will be unavailable for longer periods than it is now, and without a permanent outground or the prospect of one in the near future, more cricket will take place on grounds with limited facilities. With The County Championship likely to be reduced in the coming years, Lords will no longer be synonymous with Middlesex Cricket, and for some like yourself, serious consideration needs to be given to full membership which will represent far less value to those only attending matches at 'The Home Of Cricket'and the home of The MCC.                                                                                                                                                                   I doubt we'll be going to Upminster though.
