Stadium tours

[mattfb]

Talk about experience's you've had going on cricket ground tours.

Today I went on a tour of Aussie stadium and SCG (the one tour). It was a great experience. We got to go into the dressing rooms of aussie stadium and onto the edge of the field (Not the actual grass because they are preparing for a game) Then at the SCG we got to go onto the field.. about as far out between the inner circle and boundary rope. We got to go into the members area but not into the dressing rooms but the members area is right near the dressing areas and the bit we could see into were just some tables . To finish we went to the museum there. Got photo's of the first ball every used in a day nighter, clive churchills bat and hat, Bradmans vest and many other interesting things.

Great day

I had a tour round Lord's in May, it was great

I went into the museum, the long room and the media centre. I couldnt go into the dressing rooms because they were getting ready for Middlesex v Somerset the next day.

Blimey, how long does it take for the Middlesex team to change?

Never done a stadium tour of a cricket ground. Have had tours of the old Wembley and of Anfield but that's it. I've still not got around to visiting the museum at Lord's as there is always cricket on to watch!

So I would say from your experience it is worth it. How much do they cost? Are they really expensive? It sounds like you had a great day out

If your lucky, you might see a cricket training in the nets . Of course no one was there for me because the Aussies are at Adelaide and the Blues are at Queensland.

If you go to the Sharjah Stadium, Nobody is going to stop you from going in the stadium. You can go on the grass, on the pitch and also in the dressing rooms.

If you go to Rawalpindi stadium, start speaking English, and the person at the gate will let you in. Feel free to explore

What!? You get to go on the pitch!

 

[Insomniac]

Well Matt, the Sharjah stadium is basically destroyed. Theres nothing left of it, like an ancient rune now.

If I remember correctly, they haven't even removed the old adboards from the last series they had.

As far as Rawalpindi is concerned, do what I said, you can go basically wherever you please. Pindi stadium needs a bigger dressing room

 

[Karachi Xpress]

What!? You get to go on the pitch!

Yes. There is no security to stop you. Its all open. Maybe because there aren't any international matches being played there.

 

[mattfb]

Haha really? So if I went to pakistan I could just go there and speak English and im in the stadium? Lol.

No...They have removed all the boards although the ones on the roof arent removed.

Yeah, those are the ones I was talking about. The big ones over the stadium.

If you watch Afridi's 100 v New Zealand, you'll know which boards I'm talking about.

Yeah, say you're some foreign ambassador guy, they'll believe you
