That is a very good offer. I would have normally gone but I shall be on holiday at the time. I might try to catch it on YouTube if it is shown. I left during the rain break but got back to watch the resumption on YouTube. Looking at the crowd at the resumption, I would say that the majority had left also.

Weird how you mentioned DL calculation as I was scratching my head at it. Yorkshire went at what 8.5 an over maybe yet the Derbyshire chase was almost 10 an over so I was thinking it was unfair. But that is coming from someone with no idea how it is calculated.

50% for the One Dayer is a great offer, going to make that one if I can!

It’s adjusted that way to reflect that it’s easier to go harder the shorter the chase.

Always a good time to put the puddings in their place again

Micky Arthur is installing a good ethic in this team because there is no way we would have won that match last season

Also pleasing for someone else other than Masood to see us over the line

did not like the High Oh Silver Lining track played over the speakers

being hijacked by the Wendies fans in the Park though

Alls well that ends well lol

When Hi Ho silver lining was played, I said to my Dad and son that whoever has decided to play this is either clueless or more likely very mischievous. I’m a Wednesday fan and where I was sat ( near the scoreboard) there seemed to be quite a few Wednesday fans who all sang along ( me included) there was a couple of blunts sat near who objected but were told in no uncertain terms to ‘ be quiet’ by some who were singing, all a bit daft really, but playing a song like that which could have possibly caused some unpleasant scenes when arguably the majority of the attendance are from Sheffield was a bit daft.

Arguably the majority? Don’t be daft. Yorkshire supporters themselves were in the minority, some of whom were from Sheffield.

Another good win for Derbyshire today against Warwickshire

Superb performance. Play like that for the remaining games and a QF should come.

I said arguably. I’m also basing that on what one of your officials said to me 3-4 years ago when he told me that they love it when Derbyshire play Yorkshire as Queen’s Park is full but there’s more Yorkies in the ground. Now I’m not sat there counting and quite frankly don’t care but let’s be honest, Derbyshire wouldn’t fill Queen’s Park against any other county. You said yourself that against Leicestershire there was 2,000 maybe more, that is a pretty local game when played at Derby. Yorkshire have historically been the best supported county and I think it’s a fair assumption that a sizeable majority of people supporting Yorkshire when playing at Chesterfield will be from Sheffield or originate from there like myself who now lives in the Chesterfield area.
As for yesterday, I know it was announced as a sell out (5,000) but there was no way that ground looked full, certainly in comparison to other years. I’m guessing the weather may have had an impact.

It looked exactly the same to me in terms of numbers as all the previous sell-outs did. Although Yorkshire folk tend to be the loudest, drunkest and more likely to be wearing football shirts etc, it doesn't make them more numerous.

A bit of a sweeping generalisation there about Yorkshire folk 😉
I actually didn’t see one football shirt yesterday.
Compared to previous years the so called ‘boisterous’ supporters that used to congregate near the scoreboard, who yesterday were by the American school bus selling alcohol, weren’t as vocal as usual. Mind you that might have been due to the rain break when I assume most will have gone.

Was one of your mates the tall bloke with a green top on near to the American school bus?

I was referring specifically to the Derbyshire v Yorkshire T20s at QP.
