Stop the ECB from taking cricket away from the Counties

The Issue

County Cricket Clubs are set to be pushed into extinction by the ECB if plans to create new CITY TEAMS are allowed to go ahead this summer.

County Clubs have formed the back bone of the cricket family for over 150 years, they are the soul of cricket as well as the breeding ground for all of our great players.

The ECB wants to put cash before cricket. They want to take control of the county clubs and run the game centrally. They do not care that the Clubs belong to the supporters, the players, and the communities.

We need to act now, to demonstrate that the clubs belong to us and only we should decide on their future.

We cannot allow our clubs and our game to be hijacked as part of a ill-conceived power grabbing plan which is doomed to failure and leave some of our famous clubs in financial ruin.

Whichever of the counties you support, no matter where in the country you may be, please act now to help in the fight to Save Our Counties.

If we can unite the supporters of county cricket we can show the ECB and the country the importance, value and potential in our vibrant clubs. We cannot let them ignore us.

Together we can preserve and support our cherished game.

It’s time to Save Our Counties!
