Warwickshire County Cricket Club

I’m a big Warwickshire fan but I feel like they take advantage of the fans which is why no one goes.
Tonight the T20 match was supposed to start at 6.30, it was raining. I understand that the club can do nothing about the rain, but sat in the stands the updates are sporadic at best. Despite the rain drying up shortly after the proposed start time there was very little information passed to the fans until the game was called off about an hour before the final deadline.
I get that they are at the mercy of the elements but they do nothing to make you feel like they appreciate your support. They refused to refund me 50p for a scorecard which I can clearly never use, obviously not a big hit to my bank account but why be so petty.
Overall my evening consisted of buying expensive beer in plastic cups and less than average food on the promise of sport which in the absence of information it can only be assumed was never going to happen.
I’ve had some great times at this ground but won’t be going back until they show me some respect when I’m there instead of e-​mailing me twice a week to sell me things.

I love coming to Edgbaston to watch cricket and I have even had the privilege of commentating on Warwickshire County Cricket Club’s Home County Championship games.
With the new pavilion stand having been completed last summer, Edgbaston has now become a world class venue for hosting county and international games. The ground has a capacity of 25,000 and this is some place to watch cricket.
Ticket prices depending on the game can vary. Prices can be expensive particularly when England are playing Test Matches and One Day Internationals. Whenever Warwickshire are playing County games here, the prices to get into the ground are pretty good.
Because I know of someone who works for the ECB and Northamptonshire CCC, I have been given complimentary tickets whenever Northants are playing Warwickshire in both 40 over and 20 over games. We have also been given our own private box and you get a very good view of the game from these boxes.

Edgbaston Cricket Ground was previously looking like a dilapidated building. Although its age added to the charm of the sport, the entire local area needed a revamp. Thus, when stylish apartment blocks were erected opposite, work started for the new and improved cricket ground.
Now the building is an impressive piece of architecture, which has become a bigger local attraction. You can see the reception and shop areas as you drive past, although you’re welcome to wander in for a browse even if you’re not there for a match.
There is a large function room available for personal and corporate events, with a specialised event manager. It’s an attractive venue with one side of the suite overlooking the cricket ground. There is also extensive parking available.
During matches it gets very busy and hectic, yet the staff are always calm and friendly. It’s a privilege to have such a landmark at my doorstep!

Now that summer is all around, the cricket competitions start to spread all over the country. As Birmingham has a special place at this very popular sport’s history, it’s just natural for us to give our attention to Edgbaston Cricket ground, placed at the Warwichshire county cricket club.
Home of the Midlands cricket, this famous venue usually attracts tourists from all around the world. This magnificent stadium has capacity for 25,000 people and it’s the second largest cricketing ground in the U.K.
The cricket events and competitions held there usually bring a different atmosphere for Edgbaston and they are also a great excuse to drink some (lot of) pints and wear (embarrassing or not) fancy dress costumers during the matches.
Oh yes, even if you don’t understand a single cricket move (erm, I have tried hard…), it’s always a good experience visiting this famous ground.
For those who want to know the origins of this very popular sport in the U.K. and it’s influence at Birmingham, there is a special visitor and learning centre at the pavillion of the complex. The admission is free!
For the aficionados, there is also an equipment and sportswear shop inside the venue and special ticket offers to be checked at its website. The home of cricket in Edgbaston is a famous tourist landmark and definitely an experience to be more explored for the residents of Birmingham and the whole West Midlands.
