D-side 17 - I’ve sent you a PM.

Surely it won’t matter as we won’t be playing anyway whilst the World Cup is on?

The good news is that the 3 points Lancs got for bowling out Hampshire have proved just enough to stay ahead of Notts by 0.5points. So if Lancs beat Hampshire (and who knows right now) and Somerset can continue to bat well and deny Warwickshire a win then Lancs will be champions - plenty of ifs there though. A win against Hants on its own will get Lance into the Bob Willis Trophy game even if Warwickshire win.

Right now the as it stands table has the top 12 teams separated by 4 points.

No. They were agreed yesterday. I leave it with the IT team to put them out when they can.

Well I was sat in a room with him for two hours on Monday.

The actual figure on Monday was 6,995 STs sold., quoted at the Fans Forum.The Hull game was the last one that you can offset any tickets bought for home games against the price of a ST. So we may well just get to 7K, plus a few half STs later.

That is my email Tony but I don't recall getting a message from you. I could easily have forgotten though at my age! PM me your email address and I will search for it. I would be grateful if you could take out my email address on the above message as I prefer not to have it on message boards.

The Fans Forum minutes from last night should be up on the club website some time tomorrow.

Comprehensive victory for Lancs whilst it seems to be raining everywhere else. Just need Hampshire to beat Nottinghamshire now and Lancs are very much back in the hunt.

Tony - I don't think I've had any contact with you to raise these issues with the Fans Forum? Anyway we had the latest Forum last night and I raised your collective concerns. As you no doubt know there is nothing the club can do about games that are shown live on TV in your jurisdiction - they are contractually bound not to show them on RoversTV. However Steve Waggott has undertaken to check about showing full game replays so I will get back to you all as soon as I get a response.

I presume it's available on the Sky Red Button service as is normal for midweek games?

There’s no logic to why Chile is on the UK’s red list, but then when has logic been part of our Government pandemic planning. Currently the whole of South America is red. There is a reasonable chance that Chile might move to amber which would free Ben up to travel to play in at least the two home games. Chile are also due to play Peru away so Peru would also have to change to amber for that but that’s also a reasonable possibility.

There will be an opportunity next Summer when India are coming over for some one day games so it could be done. Whether it will is another matter.

The BCCI are offering to reschedule the game, although god knows when and where that could be.

I was due to be at Old Trafford volunteering on Sunday for a charity I'm involved with. Still at least i don't now need to get up early as I was going to have to be there at 8.15.

All those are on the agenda.

An excellent rearguard action from Lancashire just falling short of hanging on for a draw against Notts. Given they were without Jennings, Livingstone and Parkinson and lost Mahmood as a bowler on the first day and facing a total of 443 to win in the last innings that they have only just lost was a good showing. Alex Davies' head already seems to have gone to Warwickshire - 2 ducks in the game. It;s a good job there were two Preston lads in the team - Danny Lamb and Tom Bailey took 12 wickets and scored 135 runs between them.

Livingstone is missing as he has apparently had a bad reaction to his 2nd Covid jab. i don't know why Parkinson isn't playing - he was in the squad.

Wickham has been on trial at PNE for the last week.

I see Kane has just gone to Coventry Todd Kane that is.

Would that not be a "tactical" injury to make sure he doesn't pick up a knock before a sale?

It’s a Saturday 3pm kick-off so won’t be on RoversTV in the UK.

I enjoyed their early work too but have listened to little since Peter Gabriel left but plenty of his subsequent stuff.

It certainly is no age Gav, given I’m 68! I have just got round to playing her Other Voices, Other Rooms again in her memory - Speed of the Sound of Loneliness the outstanding track amongst many. I’m sure I’ve seen her live a few times but the one that sticks out was at the Floral Hall in Southport (it might have been the Southport Theatre by then but it will always be the Floral Hall to me). Which then got me thinking about the other memorable gig at the Floral Hall. I tracked it down to April 1971 - a triple bill of Genesis, Lindisfarne and Van Der Graf Generator, the latter headlining.
