Re: Royals

Premier League football club interested in buying Indian Premier League franchise

My money is on it being a Pompey Seaman franchise.
Unless perhaps it's Hull City and we could join up with them and become the Sussex Tigers.

From 2014 I have doubts that being a Sussex fan will continue to be the best sporting pleasure on the planet.

Re: Royals

It can only be Man City.

Man u are 700m in debt
Liverpool 300m in debt
Chelsea owned by a  Russian crook who has never heard of cricket.
Arsenal , well they wont spend money to buy a striker or a decent goalie. And they are in debt 400m .

I am not against 2020 but the way it is going it will kill all other cricket .

I will becoming to this seasons 2020's at Hove as there is no other cricket at Hove between the end of May and August . They are entertaining and with you guys all meeting up at the Muzza marquee it will be fun .

Possibly cynically I want to make the most of watching CC down here whilst it still exists .
I am being realistic when I say I do not think county cricket as we know it will survive much longer.

We  will be left with 10 city franchises and english cricket  will be destroyed by money ,like english footy.


So true. This has been on the cards for years.

I too really enjoy 20/20 as an additional format but why are people so intent on it overtaking the other two formats? It seems ludicrous that people even contemplate there not being room for 3 formats in the game.

I can't stand the idea of this Royals franchise. People are saying it would be good to have a team to follow through the year but it wouldn't be the same team would it? No. Just a different side with the same nickname.
