    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    I managed to strain my achilles reffing a rugby match last Saturday, so a few weeks off for me. I'm still seething after getting my first ever golden 🦆 in the last match of 2023. Good luck to everyone playing this weekend, I can only envy you

    [Politics] Natalie Elphic defects to labour

    No, he won't pick up hardline anti-immigration voters but there a quite a few people who are tempted by Reform because it's something different (and looking at their manifesto, Reform tends to be on the right socially, but more left economically - certainly their commitment to public spending...

    The Theatre Thread

    I saw Matt Smith in Enemy of the People a few weeks ago. It was very good, although it was Paul Hilton who really stole the show, not our erstwhile Dr Who (who was perfectly good). Talking of Dr Who, I have a ticket to see David Tennant in Macbeth in the autumn and, also in the autumn, am going...

    [Cricket] Sussex CCC - 2024 edition

    Er .... I know he's in prison now but I think Imran would like a word. Arguably Sussex's greatest ever player - although Ranji may pip him

    [Albion] Alfred Duncan

    :lolol: That's me told. I knew there'd be some others ...(although I have to say that I've not heard of any of them)

    [Albion] Alfred Duncan

    I think the last Alfred we had in the top division was Alfie Conn at Spurs in the 70s: has there been one since? (Haaland was Alf-Inge, not Alfred)

    [Cricket] It's just not cricket

    How can the talent be too diffused in England and not in Australia? We have, as near as dammit, exactly the same number of first-class teams per head of population.

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    I was thinking of having a cheeky tenner on Hall, as 10-1 are good odds in a two-horse raceSeeing the way that Labour is losing the Muslim vote, I wish I'd gone for it; it's really not out of the question (but would be terrible news for the opinion pollsters)

    [Politics] Are you voting today?

    My sister is the presiding officer in Queen's Park and was moaning that she had double the workloads of other POs. I hadn't realised that they have to serve for the whole time the polling stations are open and deliver the boxes; I thought there'd be shifts - it's a hell of a long day

    [Politics] Are you voting today?

    I was hesitating but my son has a vote for the first time and wants me to go to the polling station with him. So, I'll toddle along later

    [Albion] How many do we need IN this summer?

    But that was the case back in January (when Leicester were by no means guaranteed promotion). The club obviously decided that they weren't over the FFP threshold and didn't need to sell; so why should they be now? I take it little interest in press reports on FFP; I remember reading countless...

    [Albion] How many do we need IN this summer?

    We couldn't get KDH in January when he was playing in the Championship, for a team that was stuttering. Why on earth would he leave his boyhood club now they're in the Prem (and he's, presumably, on more dosh)?

    [Albion] Ian Mellor

    Everyone is talking about the game against Walsall - quite rightly as it was a magical (if soaking wet) night. But there were other great games: we scored seven a couple of weeks before the Walsall game. I can't remember who it was against but Spider was on fire that day. And he also scored a...
