a few Hampshire down my end of the mound lower, but more Sussex and we did a few GOSBTS chants to get things going

yeah some areas were very sparse, the MCC/ECB/Whoever cocked up big time in not giving each county enough seats in the first place. It holds 28,000 apparently and I reckon it was just over half full but did'nt hear the attendance so not sure.

blimey that is not very good seeing as there were two southern teams in the final....we were quoted £45 a ticket for lower mound, bit pricey for me, so umpired at cricket instead.

We sat in the Upper Compton. Got a fair bit of colour from the sun. Thank God it wasn't played today!

Upper Compton north side. All Sussex AFAIK. Times says crowd was around 20,000. Both Sussex and Pantshire returned tickets but Sussex admitted it had encouraged non members to book direct with Lord's.

Just to the left under the press box. We were causing a stir with the shark masks:afro:

Think I may have been about three or four rows behind you then. Upper Compton, Row H, seat 130-ish

Were you the guy the steward tried to make take the mask off?

As Lords didn't charge you an extra £2.50 booking fee, is is any wonder people got their tickets direct rather than through the club.

No, I was directly behind him, It was my mask he asked for it so we all were behind him, something to have a laugh about whilst we were doing shit, I was row E 125 so yeah 3 rows behind, had a good laugh/


Well done:clap: I was further round too the right

Cheers, I snuck one in, was the only one around me with one:yahoo:
