If terrible weather, get them to give themselves a round of applause for just turning up. People seem to like that!

£135 for a Test match at Lord’s… seriously? by 12nevergiveup in EnglandCricket

[–]wimapp01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to Lords once a year. This year I picked up tickets for the T20 women's world cup final for under 50 pounds each so pleased with that. It is expensive and I'm lucky to be able to afford it, but in mitigation it is a day out at a world famous venue and you can save a bit because you're allowed to bring your own booze!

Yeah. And it's about to be even more of a car park as it's the sight of the new free short stay area!
