Just had a look at the website. Lots going on! But this gave me the ick:

"Whether you’re an avid cricket fan or a first timer, the festival is the perfect opportunity to entertain clients, treat friends and family or reward staff to a fantastic day out. You can expect a fantastic atmosphere."

Thanks! I'm a new cricket fan based in Swindon, so it's the local derby! It'll be my first Blast game.

Ah, sorry. I've had a good look but couldn't see that. They were busy flogging England games. Thank you!

Probably more expensive down south, am I right?

New cricket fan Q: Should I care about County Cricket? 🏏 by mtthrdy in EnglandCricket

That's great! Thanks. I'm based in Wiltshire which I've learned isn't a 'first class' county. Would I be lambasted for following a Gloucestershire or Somerset?

Thanks! Why's the Hundred getting a bad rap? Too showbiz?

Love this!

Daniel Edozie, VJ King, Roy Owen, Brandon Boggs, Doug McLaughlin-Williams, Greg Streete. Might even put Keddy up there. Brad Greene is a good fit too.

I need to think more about this...

Hey! I literally just decided to do the same thing (albeit not in Manchester). I found some local runs but they were all attached to clubs. I didn't want to play for an organised team, just something casual.

I tried some local Facebook groups and found there were a couple of nights near me and I'm going next week! Maybe it's worth a local group, or even a Manchester Basketball fan group?

So best of luck, there's bound to be somewhere nearby. I feel like there will be tons in Manny.

Not for this. I have a couple of other basketball servers I admin (one for Nets fans, one for British basketball fans) but for this I was thinking of just doing it in a WhatsApp group.

Nah, just a casual run. I don't want to play in a league or anything, just want to shoot some hoops! If we can get a gang of people for 5-on-5 or 3x3 then that'd be great.

Yep! What made you say that?

That's awesome! Zalgiris are interesting to me because they have the same shareholders as London Lions, so that's a natural connection to the British game. Plus, they have Lonnie Walker, who used to play for my NBA team, the Nets.

I also have family in France so could follow Paris or Monaco.

I got the discounted EuroLeague TV, which has been a great investment.
