Yes indeed. No mean feat at Lancs they only need 100 signatures to trigger theirs. Good going getting 260+ and I hope it has an impact I know we don't want the rancour at Edgbaston that they seem to have up at Old Trafford for example but nor should members wishes be ridden roughshod over

I will add my congratulations on a great achievement. With that backingand knowing the effort required to get there surely the club has to listen and take note of the membership's wishes.

It’s a great effort. Well done!

I hope the rule change goes through and will make sure I’m there. Above all I hope the members’ committee have the gumption to realise they are there to represent members and not to suck up to the Club Board. I hope they are embarrassed by this.

On-line feedback on a Surrey members' forum includes:
"ALL the county cricket directors want to end Kookaburra cricket balls .... only one person in favour haha.
Steve gave wide ranging update into other matters including feeling confident at this round of discussions 14 game CC will remain for next season."

Yet more garbage proposals from our very own chair mark McCafferty quoted by Will McPherson . Are moves afoot to unseat this buffoon before he does to cricket what his ilk has already done to rugby?

I was told McCafferty wants to be ECB Chair and that’s why he’s pushed the reduction so hard.

Goodness knows why we ever picked him.

CVC the organisation he came from ran F1 for many years, not very successfully. It seems that CVC and it's staff are only interested in the maximum profit, not the sustainable health of a business.

George Dobell in The Cricketer reports that:
" it seems probable - though not certain - that the counties will vote on a proposal which would see the Championship schedule cut to 12 or 13 games (six teams contesting promotion, relegation and the championship title would play 13 matches) in the coming days. If that proposal is rejected, the schedule will remain as it is now with 14 matches per team per season."

There was a leaked article on it here (from our Chair?)

Hope the counties stay strong and block this nonsense and we get our SGM!
