Has anyone ever been to ON Chenecks?

Post by BartonRaz »

I'm concerned that it appears it's another roped-off pitch similar to Olney. Is there anything to lean against / anywhere to sit?

I'm still recovering from a bad ankle injury and I don't think i'll be able to free-stand for 2 hours. ;)

I played cricket there many years ago, and unless it has changed then you are right, take a deck chair is my best advice

Very similar set up to Olney, where its basically a pitch with a small covered stand to one side. Fair sized car park than can fill quickly but a decent clubhouse at the end of it. Would have thought they will take the roped off approach as seen at other grounds

This game has already been postponed as Chenecks have got a rearranged cup game now instead

Heard yesterday that they're trying to arrange this game for Sunday 10th unless the cup game is moved :o

Watch the OWS for updates.

Just to clarify this, the league has indeed given priority to a cup game the Chenecks Reserve team are now planned to play at home on Saturday, after they won in the delayed previous round on Saturday. Its a shame this was publicised on the league website before various negotiations that are taking place to try to sort something out regarding our game are concluded - hopefully things will be clearer in the next few hours.
