He's probably right isn't he, at least in terms of position in our respective sports. Luckily the two sports play at different times of the year in the main, so it doesn't have to be a competition. I'm more a Warwickshire supporter anyway as my dad was a huge fan. |  |

Ah, Derek Bowden is Essex CCC CEO - that explains the reference to ITFC! |  |

The journalist is a local guy, used to write for the star I believe, very well known in and around the Woodbridge Cricket scene. |  |

I'm pretty sure Essex have looked at hiring the London Stadium for a T20 before only to be told by the London Stadium that they don't have the fan base to make it worth while converting it for a cricket match. I'd argue make it a Friday night game against either Surrey or Kent and I think you could sell it out, the corporate boxes would go in a flash being so close to the city they would be lapped up by the big firms.
I'd be up for it being based in North West Surrey and I bet a lot of other Essex fans around the South East would go as well. Essex have constantly said they can sell out the County game 3 times over for T20 games. |  | | |

I believe the problem with the London Stadium is that converting the seat area is costly and hard work
Why they don't have movable seating is anyone's guess
They talked about having a 2 week Cricket festival in the summer which could be shared by the London clubs
The ECB were interested in it for the World Cup also for potentially India Pakistan, England Australia and the Final potentially but it clearly didn't happen
It would be interesting to see how a drop in pitch performs in England [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 17:51]

I thought it was funny that he didn't even consider that Norwich fans might also question his assessment. |  | | |
