Anyone else heading to Lords tomorrow night for T20 Sussex?

[Giraffe]

£25 on the gate. Anyone know where you get to sit for that?

 

[8ace]

C & E upper usually if you go to the North Gate.

 

[cardboard]

Tis on the Sky tellybox tom so will be watching from the comfort of the lounge

 

[Giraffe]

I assume it doesn't get anywhere close to selling out on a T20 game.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Ive bust me hip and I'm on crutches so no not going anywhere at the moment, telly box for me.

I do enjoy watching the odd Albion or Sussex game on the telly, gives it another perspective, but anyone going give a big 'Sussex by the Sea' shout for me.

 

[Quinney]

Going up for a few beers in the afternoon and then on to Lords. Should be a good day out.

Late night watching Lionesses then same as Quinney, I'll be in Lower Grand Stand. Only £20 delivered with no booking fee or postage
According to the ticket you can take beer in for T20 at Lords (unlike Hove), anyone know if this is correct?

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

Yes, only a few stops from my temp office in by Marble Arch, should be a good evening.

According to the website you can, it doesn't differentiate between t20 and others, which is surprising!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Hope we bowl and field better than we did when they came down here.

Wouldn't be so sure. The Oval is a sell out tonight. That said Surrey to tend to be a bit more proactive than Middlesex on punting their tickets.

Not been this season but it always was two cans of beer OR a bottle of wine.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Yep i am going , can't wait.

 

[Quinney]

Top day out. Most enjoyable. A few beers and decent game. Always looked like we were on top.

The Oval tends to appeal to the proles and is therefore much better attended because you can pretty much FALL out of there and into someone/INFERNOS but Lords typically reaches c20k for a t20.

I was in the Warner stand tonight and as usual waited around for the crowds to disappear before taking leave and happened to be stood next to the away dressing room to hear them all singing GOSBTS at full belting volume much to the chagrin of the members in the bar below.

Such an awesome sight too:

Who was singing it - you mean the players?

Yep.

 

[Sheebo]

Yep.

Truly awesome! If only the footballers could share some pride with the club they're representing!!! Remember going to Lords 10 yrs ago for a one dayer there. Loads of Sussex and GOSBTS ringing out around Lords all day

I had a T20 season ticket at the Oval for a few of years simply because it was cheap and just across water from my office. Became a victim of it's success really as every game started selling out but their ability to deal with the extra numbers got worse. Hadn't been to a T20 game at Lords until last night, was very impressed. Biggest queue of the night seemed to be the one for the ticket office which we swerved by using a tout. Bars were easy to get to but that may have been down to them not really enforcing their alcohol policy that strictly.

Wasn't a great game for the neutral (especially after the previous nights game) but who cares. Thought they'd be a few more Sussex about to be honest.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Absolutely fantastic night, what a place to spend a warm summers evening supping beer and watching Sussex completely out play Middlesex .18,000 there as well.
