Pidge Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 21 minutes ago, Dave_Og said: A friend of mine took golf up early 40s with fairly young kids at home and threw himself into it. Practice, warm up, 18 holes, socialising etc. - so out of the house for a minimum 6 hours. However, he'd just retired from playing Minor Counties cricket which took him out for three days at a time so it seemed like quite a big concession to domestic responsibilities... He's divorced now A chap I know played amateur cricket into his 80s. He had “cricket” declared in the papers of 4 divorces! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I can imagine I've been involved recently with local cricket it's a big commitment you don't realise how much time and effort people put into both playing and running it. Its not an easy sell to your better half to tell them for the 6 months of the year when the weather is at its best you are going to spend your Saturdays looking after the kids while I go off with the lads to play cricket.

He's an established L1 player now in his prime. Why would he drop to the NL? Wonder why they are letting him go? I thought he was decent when with us and I'd imagine he will not be short of options.

Not sure he'd want to move back up north but I don't think the effects of the Lemsagams is going to Impact a players decision to come here. They know clubs cam change very quickly.

Different regime, absolutely, but would he bother to take the time to check all those who were involved have left. He was a nice lad and had the right attitude. Would be a good signing, but very unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyyou Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Anyone remember the strange crypto chap who supposedly wanted to take us over? We were all rather sceptical. Just out of interest, two cryptocurrency and NFT fellas took over Crawley and have now seen them promoted using a data-driven recruitment model. Whodathowtit.
