Gonna have to spend a lot of money to stay in that league....

 

Its probably a one year thing, but we will see.

Howfen lasted one year in the prem, so we have less chance than them. Bradshaw stayed up though 👀

Bradshaw is a lovely place to watch cricket.....

More decent weather this week too.

Very unusual spring, and I wonder how the pitches will behave.

Surely there will be less juice in them than normal.

More bounce, less swing?

Pitches are definitely a lot better than they were this time last year.

Unlike @superjohnmcginlay, I'm hoping the wickets aren't too dry.

Get it roughed up, and reversing!

[L/H White]

anyone know much about my local team? Astley & Tyldesley? 

I've only been up a few times and that was when we first moved round here, so haven't been on in a while

Possibly the greatest amateur bowler in the nistory of the bolton association played for em

He used to sit near us when I was a kid at Burnden

Just a battery's dream. Every wicket has been like a late summer test wicket. They should be green and spongey at this time of year.

Bastards.
