Been coming to T20 Finals Day , for years, whether The Bears are there or not. Just enjoy the day. Does anyone else think that the latest e-mail for the members window tomorrow is just utter nonsense. The message includes the following:

****When you purchase tickets, it will automatically assign you a seat in the selected stand.

After purchase, if you wish to move seat please contact us at tickets@edgbaston.com or call 0121 369 1994 (option 1).****

How is this supposed to work ? (yes I have contacted the club)

I despair at some of the decisions made by the ticketing department.

How is this supposed to work ?

Anyone else had issues with the e-cup refund system ? It worked the first time that I used it, but I do not appear to have received refunds from last Sunday. I am waiting for a response from the club.

Yes agree with your assessment of Ben Stokes and his career ....... but the fact that he opened, (it's not all about him , even today) and what has happened subsequently, in my opinion shows a total disregard for English Test cricket .... yes, I am a bit of a traditionalist, but I think this just shows what 'we' currently think of Test cricket in this country. (I'll take it all back, if we win)

Pure speculation - does Ben Stokes's decision have more to do with the relationship, or lack of it with Rob Key and the 'suits' rather than Brendan McCullum.

I have the dubious advantage of having a Season Car Park pass for Edgbaston. I believe that I am expected to register in advance for a space on Little Church Street for next week's fixtures. I have not currently received any information from the club about this (along with a few other 'missing' mass e-mails which I am trying to get investigated). Has anyone got the link or information in order to register. Thank you

Yes, Sheffield_Blue, that would be it. I don't think I have ever had information from that source ...... thank you.

I know this sounds a daft question, but who did you get the e-mail from, because neither me nor my wife who are both members have received anything at all. Ones that we have received in the past are listed as Edgbaston Stadium or Warwickshire County Cricket Club - both having an address of tickets@edgbaston.com. So, I am a little concerned that I am missing some important information at times, the same applies regarding car park passes for 2025. It seems that I have missed the boat for tickets in the Tom Dollery. Thanks.

Anyone else suffering from the same issue?

Nothing to add really, just a 'with hindsight' observation. Did the first two overs of each innings end up being the difference between two mediocre sides. what was it 26 or 27 off 2 compared to our 3?

Yes, we did well to hold them to 138, and there was a lot of cricket in between those overs and afterwards, did we approach the chase with a mis-placed arrogance?

Very disappointed.

Response from the Club

As a Member, you are entitled to take up to four cans of beer, or a bottle of wine in to the ground at Rugby, the same amount as at Edgbaston. The only difference is that glass is prohibited.

Can members take alcohol to the matches at Rugby? Went yesterday, (going Wednesday), and there was a bag search and advice about glass bottles, but can we take beer and / or wine so long as we avoid glass - anyone done so? Thanks

I see that (eventually) he has been released from the Pakistan T20 squad

The Club are really taking the mickey, £35 for the Red Car Park (£20 last year). Yes, it's a choice, yes, I could get there by train. We live in Kenilworth, so it's not so straightforward or convenient (queues for the train shuttle bus ridiculous in the past).
Surely there should be some sort of discount for members? I despair !!
Trent Bridge £12 for non members and only a 5 minute walk.

We can't wait to welcome you to Edgbaston on Saturday for Finals Day.

As an attendee, we're giving you a chance to get tickets for Finals Day in 2024 before anyone else and at the very best prices.

Anyone else think that members should get first access to these before 'attendees' or are we members just 'anyone else' these days?

I do not think members should have first access. This is a competition across the 18 counties and the supporters of the 4 finalists are the ones deserving of priority. If the event was held ot Lord's would you like the idea that tickets had all been bought by Middlesex/MCC members ahead of general sale. However, a certain amount are allocated to Warks members I believe which is how it should be IMO

Fair point. It's just a personal beef about the way WCCC treat the members at times. We have for many years bought finals day tickets irrespective of the 4 finalists.

Ah, didn't realise that, fair enough. Just so disappointed.... again.

Mood not helped by seeing Dan Lawrence substituting at Headingley today, some Yorkshire rookie yesterday, allowing him to play last night. It stinks.

CSK won of course (finished Sunday nigh / Monday morning), but Moeen didn't bat or bowl in the final, but as someone said would you bring him straight back in?

Couldn't be there, but just brilliant !!

Didn't the club promise another session this week, for anyone not attending last week's meeting, or have they had enough 'home truths' already?

Wonder what the odds are on Sussex and Middlesex conspiring a tie - they both go through then? Failing that even if Leics win we will be 3rd on 11 Points if (IF) we win,
