Agreed that this one doesn’t seem that attractive to a Lancs fan.
It’s akin to going to Chelsea in the cup when we played our kids.

Any Lancs member received their link to finals day tickets ?
Not Lancs but as a Northants fan I received an email around 4pm the following day after their win.
Unfortunately couldn't scrape together the will from others to make a day of it in Birmingham...
If you lose a semi-final you aren't in good spirits, and if it is the first one up the only thing you have to look forward to is the mascot race.Hmm. Fair point, I guess. But say Lancs are in the first s/f, and get dicked, a lot of their fans mightn't want to hang around Brum all day.
There may be Liberty X or Atomic Kitten playing 3 songs 100 yards away for ten minutes who you can hardly see or hear even if you were interested.
Even if you are first up and win it is likely you get a pass out and go to the pub and some food outside the ground where it is cheaper.
Last time I went it was £35, I was able to buy a number of tickets in the cheapest block after we qualified in 2014, before the members release which was £55 and only 1,000 tickets per clubs. Anderson went for 52 in the final, it was his last t20 for 11 years (stick with the bowlers who got us there we were likely to win) and Flintoff's last game for Lancs in his come back year.
The year after we has a shadow team with a lot of Second XIs but we won it for the first and only time, against Northants who flew in Alfridi by helicopter. We had Jimmy Faulkner then as the main inspiration, just like Chris Green this year but we only signed him for the groups and he is playing for Barbados Royals in an hour.

That's a decent total by England. And Markram gone first ball.

England will think they are world beaters.

That’s what I’ve done pal. I think the email from Lancs only redirected you to the Edgbaston site anyway, but it didn’t come through till mid evening last night and by then I’d already bought the restricted view ones, which were a bit cheaper and I don’t think are that restricted tbh.Thanks hb.
The Lancs site said info on the link to tickets, via the edgbaston app, would be sent out last night. I did find a forum that confirmed that some had received it.
My lad wanted two tickets so I’ve got him two of the restricted view tickets, that are still on open sale, rather than wait for Lancs ticket office to sort it.
On a wider point, to put so many seats on general sale before the 4 qualifying teams are known, and so to leave so few for their dedicated supporters, is absolutely crackers to me.
Anyway, more of an issue is the weather forecast for next Saturday :-(

Just checked the biggest winning (losing?) margin in ODI games. It's 317 runs (India vs Sri Lanka, January 2023). That must be in serious danger of falling here. South Africa still 390 runs behind, with six wickets gone.

They're getting on top now !
No, but it’s mainly due to that 100 shite and obviously pure greed. They completely devalued what was a real good comp.I wonder if you'd ever see India playing a T20 match the day before the IPL final?
Surely it's in the ECB's best interests to have as many big names at finals day as possible, what an embarrassing way to undermine the whole competition!
