Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Right, you may recall we did this last year with great success.
We can sponsor the Accrington v Rishton match on Sunday 1st June. its at Accrington's Thorneyholme Rd ground.
The price will be £15 per person, that includes your entrance fee, a buffet and a complimentary bar, same package as last season.
Just to gauge interest can you reply to this thread if you would be willing to join in.
A great time was had by all last year and with Accy top of the League at the moment it will be an entertaining game !
( think the Stanley fans are sponsoring one too !)

I really enjoyed this last year, and you can put my name down Lindsay. Hope the sun puts his name down again too.

Re: Accyweb sponsored cicket match
 

You can put my name down too, had a great day last year and if the sun is out again I will try to remember the sun cream this time, poor sparkologist got sent home to get some for us all last year :D

Re: Accyweb sponsored cicket match

Re: Accyweb sponsored cicket match
 

I can probably be talked into this lindsay. hehe

Re: Accyweb sponsored cicket match
 

Aye you can add my name to the list as well.

Though not actually sure where I will be that weekend - but will still chip in none the less :).

Re: Accyweb sponsored cicket match
 

Thanks for the responses so far.......:mosher:

Re: Accyweb sponsored cicket match
 

Sounds good to me, Lindsay. :thumbsup: Please book Lettie and myself down for a couple of places.

The match against Church CC, last season was highly entertaining, not forgetting the social aspect, :drink:(hic).

It should be a well fought game that Accy are well capable of winning, provided that Junior takes his customary clutch of wickets.

Re: Accyweb sponsored cicket match

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Lucky it went down to the last bowl, if you didnt have your pro.

On a lighter note, Enfields Pro has been called up for New Zealand.

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

I'm looking forward to the game. I might even manage to call in on Thorneyholme Road tomorrow for the local derby in the Worsley Cup against Enfield. :)

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Should be 2 great matches, Junior is fired up after his recent appearance for the Lancs League XI , where he hit the winning runs (:confused:) so we need it to be a bit overcast and humid for his bowling spell !:D

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

once again thread hijacking, no way linds, must say however excellent tea room and two cracking games. I for one am looking forward to 20/20

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Still on for this, need a top up after the meet! :D

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Me too, even though the weather forecasters have changed their mind about today ... :rolleyes:

Have a good pavillion though, so no problems there then.

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Yep, we are still on Derek, just hope therain stops !:(
Doesn't rain in the bar though !
Am a little "tired and emotional" after our Worsley Cup victory yesterday, so I will be a bit of a slow starter I think !:o

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

well def don't think we need the sun cream this time :( it's chucking it down... do we still come if its raining linds??

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

We still have a bar to hoover up !
If you want to pm me your mobile numbers I can keep you informed; but I will be going down to the ground at 12 anyway, will be helping mop the pitch if the rain stops !:)
Come on down !

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Change of plan for me i'm afraid, and though you wont see this till you come back, I will still pay for the ticket as promised, I just dont think it fair to bring the youngun to this if he is just going to be sat with a bunch of teenage adults drinking and talking nonsense, hehe, will hopefully be better weather next time. Let me know how to get the money to you please linds.

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Can understand that Derekgas .. wouldn't be much fun for him, would it .. LOL

The staff have prepared the buffet and booze, so Harwood Red and I still going.

Hope other people see this.

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Did do a couple of overs I reckon G78, but started to rain again and was finally 'axed' around 3.30 p.m. ... were you there ?

Anyway, did actually have a wonderful afternoon, white wine to meself (except for Lindsay's mum sharing a little .. lol) and brilliant buffet. More people around than I expected.

Glad I went .. thanks Lindsay. x

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Good buffet, good company, enough booze, just lousy weather - suppose you can't have everything. Thanks Lindsay!

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Well. the great British weather stymied us again! No play and match abandoned, many many thanks to the hearty souls who turned up anyway, Katex, Harwood Red, Brfc 1974, g78,Sparks and Lettie, Ossylass and Andrew. We had a fun day and a good buffet, the company was sparkling and the first Eleven very much appreciated our efforts .
We raised the not inconsiderable sum of £145 for the club, a great effort for a rainy day and of behalf of David and the team a big thankyou !:)

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

well to say the match was called off and the weather was miserable I have to say I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.... couldn't even finish all the lager on offer...loving the ice cold pint cans of fosters :D

Had some great debates, conversation and laughs, in fact I have to agree with somthing Lettie said, instead of being on here on a virtual accyweb debate we had a real live one going.... hey and don't cross katex after a few drinks if she disagrees with you :p:rolleyes:

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Had a thoroughly lovely afternoon, shame about the cricket but the British weather beat us all, maybe get a game next time...:D

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

I have had a letter given to me addressed to the Accyweb members who sponsored the (sadly washed out) match last season, the Club say " we thank you for your support throughout the 2008 season and hope you will continue to support Accrington Cricket Club in the future."
Hopefully we can do something similar again next season !
Harwood Red, I have a letter for your Ultras too thanking them for their sponsorship !

Thanks chaps!:)

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Harwood reds ultras... sorta rolls off the lips that :)

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Cheers K -P ! David's bit is in the Wisden Cricketer magazine out now if you want a nosey !

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

What and where can I get that... never heard of it .. but interested..

BTW looking forward to a lot more cricket this summer.. have new equipment and looking to be taking much better cricket pics...., Wanted to have a word with you or whoever does fundraising about it..

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Okies, our kid won the Wisden Cricketer club cricketer of the year and there's a write up in the Dec Wisden mag ( albeit a small one !) he has won the award, a new kitbag and wait for it....... a bat ! :eek:

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

yeagh I know what he did and what he won... and I know its in the wisdom mag... My questions was/is .. whats the wisdom mag and where can i get it?

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Wisden Cricketer, £3;75 from newsagents on Broadway or Smiths, as for wisdom not sure ! hehehehe;)

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

It's got Kevin Pietersen on the front if that's any help ! ( it's enough for me grrrr)

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

haa available on high street.. kewl will get a copy.. thanks :)

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

Thanks for posting that Lindsay... as for my ultras!!!! think the lads might take exception to that, they are very much their own men and their sponsorship/ultra group is completely by their own arrangement...but love em all the same anyway :D

Re: Accyweb sponsored cricket match
 

It's because you are the only one of them that strays further than the Stanley site so I knew you would see it ! hahahaha :)
