10 weeks to go...

[The Large One]

It's a long story, that I'm not putting on here. I'll tell anyone that comes into the shop - if they really want to hear it. Suffice to say, it's bloody frustrating.

Won't stop me supporting the club on the field though.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

f*** em. Yorkshire can kiss my South Saxon ARSE. They don't have Chris Adams in their squad, so they're going to win SQUIT.

oi

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

their shop is pretty shithouse isn't it?


i love the club though, they seem to be a complete broke SHAMBLES, yet they have the best team in the country

its brilliant!

They've just been pissing about with the shop. It was closed last year, not quite sure why!

Anyway, it's back open now, but it's almost bare (or it was the other week anyway). Everything lying about on the floor, little stuff on the shelves, it's a complete mess!

 

[The Large One]

oi

2-0.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

you can have a third when Sussex have won the county championship more times than Yorkshire.


32 times at the last count.......Oh yes and joint champions twice

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

30 (joint champs once)

TC - 2001 is your answer, but the last one before that was 1968.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

21 of those victories came about just before your Birth. 10 times from there onwards (1940)...

 

[The Large One]

Mind you, you have to go back to 1934 for Lancashire's last outright win. (They shared it in 1950).

That is the year that rain was discovered.

And it's been falling a lot recently on their sour grapes.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

They should be able to make some decent Whine in that case.

Mr Large One, this seems like a good place to ask this question. Do the lots in the 40notes fund generally make a good price?

I have an autograph sheet from the Australians Coronation Tour of England – Richie Benaud et al. & A cricket bat for Paul Parkers Benefit Year (signed by Sussex & The WIndies 1986) – which I am considering donating…reluctantly. If not, then perhaps a separate auction and then donate the money. I would rather they went for a good price, as opposed to them being bought cheaply and sold on…

Slam those brakes on, Dave. The County Championship as we know it started in 1890. So there.

But it's still 30.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

its no good changing the goalposts

 

[Marc]

Because I normally sit in the upper tier of the pavillion and its normally quite quiet up there.
