Sir Jimmy still a match winner, 4-18 off 9.5 overs.

Great result. Hopefully we can eradicate the batting collapses this season and some of us can start to enjoy watching Lancs again.

 

[cleavers]

Won it, wow

I gave up bothering at 56-5, checked earlier to find we'd somehow won, the wicket must have deteriorated badly for 20 wickets to fall for not much over 200 runs.

Guess it might be the last game a lot of people will watch.

It’s only £20 a year, but most casual viewers won’t pay that.

 

[bavarian blue]

Lancashire win again! Top of the table.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Can they spend a few quid and get another overseas player in. An opening bat after the injury to Wells might be top of the agenda now, as the batting looks short of depth.

 

[Earlyriser]

Has Singh scored enough runs yet to get an average?

Any idea what platforms it's available on mate? I'm not paying to watch it on my phone that's for sure. If it's available on the fire stick then I'd be interested.

It’s not come in yet. We’ll see if they go through with it when they next play at OT. They’ve received quite a lot of stick for suggesting it. Not sure they’d get 1k subscribers, so to alienate a lot of fans for £20k per annum seems a little foolish.

Think it’ll be via the website, so there might be rivers around that may be accessible.

I was surprised when they announced it. When Lancs are playing there's usually about 2.5k watching on YouTube. Of those some will be members that would get it for free anyway, and some will be supporting the County Lancs are playing, who aren't going to pay £20 for a one off fixture, some others will just bin it off.

It does seem like a strange decision given the relatively trivial amount of money they will generate.

I've created a Lancs 2026 thread for those interested.

I won't be paying, given the often shite play we've endured for 3 years now.

I don't blame you, and unless I can watch it on my TV, I wouldn't consider it either.

My reading of it is that its a premium version of Lancs TV which I assume is like other premium streamed channels no ads. If I'm right then the You Tube channel will continue with ads, probably 1/2 way through an over! At least thats what I hope.

That isn't it. You get 10 mins on Youtube then it goes to commentary only.

It has been planned for a couple of years. May be worth becoming a members for £35 which gets you 2 games and the pass.

The youtube channel was for members during covid but they kept it going and didn't charge non-members.

It is the usual from some, complain about Lanky being shite but not wanting to put 1p into them.

Paywalls have done a tremendous amount for cricket, haven’t they?

Having zero free to air coverage will ultimately kill the sport.

Thanks for the explanation. Looks like it’s away games only to watch for me. I’ll listen to the radio coverage for home games unless they do a deal

They still have to go through with it. There was chat about it last season and it never transpired.

If it does, they’ll get 500 viewers at best, given it won’t be watchable on a lot of TVs.

Absolutely shocking so far….

I’ve been a member for almost 20 years, great value for money.
Majority of members don’t spend a penny inside the ground, flask and sandwiches
