Yes, we are hit because ours nearly always sell out. Others, who lose money on some games, will gain.

And the clubs voted that way too.

Understandable but that is a chunk of cash. Also the Blast is down around 25% from 2019. That is a chunk and ongoing. Offsets some of short-term H*ndred cash.

More seriously, it’s nuts the lack of scrutiny applied to the critics of the BBC (political types on both sides of Atlantic) over a mistake that revealed a bias, when they lie and cheat and lie and cheat.

The BBC has standards, they don’t.

Host counties with top stadiums & building excellent second grounds for women's teams & training

Small counties overworking their strips on one ground for multi-use & other businesses. Some of which will fail
