Article on the BBC website today about areas of LCCC ground having areas named after Sir Clive Lloyd & Farokh Engineer.
Obligatory shoe horning the scum in as apparently the swamp shares the same name. Does it really? It’s a bit like Salford RLFC share the same nickname.
Couple of things stand out:
Lancs were the one day cup kings early mid 70’s - the ticket tout and liver thief were already in decline and on their way out yet the article links the scums ‘success!!!???’ With LCCC.
Then, football style terrace chants were common at the cricket ground as a direct transference from the swamp.
Very devious in the way they write these articles, I wonder if a dipper takes umbrage at the article and complains for Lancashire is their team too.
Of course the article isn’t open for comment.
