Traditionaly, Derbyshire and Leicestershire lose too many days play at home a season to rain to get enough results. This often applies to Gloucestershire and Glamorgan. Middlesex and Surrey are deep in the shit, Essex are weakened due to players on central contracts and so we have very few rivals down there...we should wrap this up at the re-born Fortress Hove !
Don't see a great problem, more local games, at least we can't say that crowd numbers will be affected........cricket matches must be quieter than Withdean.....................
