County Ground Pavilion

[Leekbrookgull]

In there for the Yorkshire game. Would like to think the club can build 'round it' Just has a great feel,the lower end seats and box can go,when the Sea end is re-developed,but please keep the pavilion. Lick of paint sure,maybe a few flags and flower baskets. I have been to some of thse 'new modern pavilions' Keep ours and likes of Worcester. That,s why cricket is different. In the age of 24/7 football,i just enjoy cricket.

Hants committed the crime of demolishing their pavilion and I would hope the fans would organise a massive demonstration if they ever planned to knock it down.

As we are never going to be able to build a megadome type stadium, I think it is as safe as houses.

Why not move the whole pavilion to a spanking new ground just south of the community stadium site? It shouldn't take more than, ooooo let me see, 1000 years.

everest - that was one opf the origina; plans when pigott took over. Money soon ruled it out

When does the sea end development start and how long will it take.

Surely they should start asap and get as much done before the start of next season as possible

It was meant to start fairly soon, but there was a rumour doing the rounds that it has been put back again and the ground will stay as it is until after next seasons 20/20 games, then the work will start and Sussex will play at the out grounds for the rest of the season.

Might even be a game at Eastbourne, which will be messy....

Would love to see them go to Clair Hall, Haywards Heath

But they also moved the ground to be fair and the pavilion at The Rose Bowl is splendid.

About the only thing that is there....

 

[Uncle Buck]

Where did Hampshire play before the Rose Bowl?

In Southampton.

 

[Hiney]

In Southampton.

Round the corner from The Dell - Northlands Road I think

 

[Uncle Buck]

Round the corner from The Dell - Banister Road I think

Sounds right.

Must admitt in my hazy three years of Southampton I never ventured there.

 

[Hiney]

oooh - edit too slow.

It was Northlands Road - now housing.

I think that it's a Grade 2 listed building. I'm not a 100% positive about that though. It would certainly be bad news to lose it

Buggers Hole? Wouldn't go there unless I abolustely had to!

Oh, and while I'm in a cricket ground mood, does anyone know where DURHAM played before the Riverside? I know they haven't been a proper county for that long, but they still must have played somewhere before the current ground got built.

Sort of (as we were speaking to some of their members the other week), it seems they moved around the grounds in the north east. They use to play a few at Darlington (next to the old Feethams ground) and even in Hartlepool.
