I arrived at the Oval for what was going to be the final day of The 2015 Ashes; when I bought my tickets for this Test I had in mind that I may well be at the decisive day in the series. That wasn’t going to be the case – in a topsy turvy 5 … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 4 – Event 116
I have a terrible confession to make when it comes to Day 3 of The 5th Test – I arrived a little late and forgot to get any cash out on the way. I had rugby shirts to persuade Australians to wear and a need to buy lunch, which needed said cash! I decided to … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 3 – Event 115
Day 2 at The Oval had me feeling like an excited child! A day sitting in the Pavilion, albeit in the shade! I still have to pinch myself when I find myself in such places, I am easily pleased! (A warning – the photos are a bit all over the place – that’ll teach me … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 2 – Event 114
And so the end of the summer beckons and the final Ashes Test at the Oval along with it. As a Surrey and England member I’d taken advantage of being guaranteed my seat and bought tickets for the first 4 days. I later added Day 5 to my haul of Ashes tickets. What chance I’d … More England v Australia – The Oval – Day 1 – Event 113
After a crazy few days which took me from Nottingham to Cardiff – as you do when you’re sports focussed and not – they’re miles apart focussed I was looking at a week – well 5 days without sport! A quiet few days at home after driving a little under 800 miles seemed sensible. However … More Essex CCC v Surrey CCC – Event 107
This is all a bit odd as I’m having to go back in time – less than a week but boy I’ve seen some sport in that time! But, I must keep a record of every sporting event I go to especially in 2015. (Can’t see me stopping in 2016) On top of this being … More Surrey v Worcestershire – Royal London Cup – Event 103
Leapfrogging Event 103 again I have to continue with the Trent Bridge Ashes! I’ve learnt lessons about buying tickets this summer, they’re cheaper for a reason! I paid £60 for a Day 2 seat and was a tad disappointed with my view. I was in the William Clarke Family Stand and had a huge gap, … More England v Australia – Trent Bridge – Day 2 – Event 105
I’m about to break my self made rule about how I write my blog, I have the Surrey v Worcestershire Royal London game to write about – Event 103. But, I just can’t wait to write about Day 1 of The Ashes at Trent Bridge! I may not be able to get too many photos … More England v Australia – Trent Bridge – Day 1 – Event 104
Having had a day of showers and almost Autumnal weather for Day 1 of the Edgbaston test a better day was promised weather wise. Could the on field antics match those of the previous day? It seems that anything is possible in this Ashes series and wow yes it was to be another cracker! I … More England v Australia – Edgbaston – Day 2 – Event 100
After the horror that was Day 4 of the 2nd Ashes Test at Lords I headed to Birmingham with a level of trepidation. It was highly unlikely that we’d see a repeat of England capitulating in an afternoon, but could they bounce back from a record defeat? With the chance to pick my days I … More England v Australia – Edgbaston Day 1 – Event 99
