WHAT. A. DAY.
Thanks to everyone who helped share the message and came to county grounds all over the country. We hope you had a smashing day.
Shall we do it again next year?

We've had to go and redo our graphic, since

have smashed it out of the park and made Sunday's fixture FREE.

Tomorrow we come together to celebrate this truly unique sporting competition. Thanks to everyone who's given us a retweet, badgered a mate, and helped spread the word.

Help us spread the word about County Cricket Day, and don't forget to bring your friends and family along 🏏
#CountyCricketDay
Whatever happens, Glamorgan have made the third-highest fourth-innings score in a first-class match. Comfortably the highest in the history of the Championship.
It's our first ever sellout for County Cricket Day! Well done to
@lancscricket
.
If you're looking to attend any of the other fixtures, it's a good idea to grab your tickets ahead of time, you never know who's going to sellout next...
#CountyCricketDay

We're proud to be supporting
@ccricketday
on Sunday 30 June by offering free entry to day one of our
@CountyChamp
fixture at home to Middlesex. 🏏
The initiative aims to encourage as many people as possible to enjoy the wonders of four-day cricket.
We're very moved by the support we've got from
@nonleaguedayuk
since we announced this initiative (since we really just nicked their idea).
We wrote a bit about what non-league football and county cricket have in common on our website:
#CountyCricketDay
Lovely buzz around The Oval now, as Surrey are 60-2 after an evenly matched and well-fought 90ish minutes of play.
How's everyone else's day going?
#CountyCricketDay
Only 7️⃣ days to go until the first ever County Cricket Day.
Let's retweet this far and wide, and spread the word to as many people as possible.

We've got a snazzy new website that admin has spent literally dozens of minutes building, which has links to all the official county ticket websites

@WillHugall
Thanks Will. And we shouldn't forget to thank
@CCMembersGroup
for jumping on board and turning this from an idea to a real thing.
In a few weeks we've built a nice little foundation, which will hopefully be a springboard for greater things!
This Sunday,
@DerbyshireCCC
will be starting their match against
@YorkshireCCC
at the BEAUTIFUL Queen's Park venue in Chesterfield.
Is there a better place to spend County Cricket Day? Grab yourself a ticket now and get yourself down.

Happy County Cricket Day one and all.

Happy County Cricket Eve Eve everybody!
It's now only 2️⃣ days to go. Round up your mates, gather all your family (even the odd ones), and tell everyone you know.
We're off to the cricket 🏏
#CountyCricketDay
An unfortunate rain delay at The Oval means an opportunity to enjoy one of the great joys of county cricket: the excellent catering options
#CountyCricketDay
Please can county members try to bring a friend or family member on the 30th.
This is the first year of the concept. It will be an annual event that we want to see grow each year.

Watching one of England's greatest ever cricketers, with your own eyeballs, for £14 (FOURTEEN POUNDS!!!).
If there's a better value way of spending a day, we'd love to see it.
#CountyCricketDay
It's been a belting round of Champo games.
If you haven't seen the scorecards then take a look.
Is there a highlights package anywhere?
What started as
@ccricketday
ended with finales that you wouldn't believe.
First class cricket. No better sport.
@netmnp
@CCMembersGroup
@calneeagle
@surreycricket
... Sunday, but they've decided to go down a slightly different route.
Every county has a different audience and cost model, and we'd trust them to know what's best for them given their unique limitations.
@ccricketday
@TheCricketPaper
Sussex made admission free today for Day 1 of Leicestershire County Champ match. All those taking advantage rewarded by seeing home team recover from 34-3 to get to 431-7. Some day at Hove.
@MHristo
@leicsccc
Let's not grumble and pit the different counties against each other. Surrey have been terrific supporters since we ambushed them with this initiative a few weeks ago, and it's great to see them trying to bring more people in.
Ultimately, every county knows its audience best
@netmnp
@CCMembersGroup
@calneeagle
@surreycricket
We really rather sprung this on the counties a few weeks ago, and they've been very supportive, but they've not had a huge amount of time to do much around it (if they'd even want to, which is entirely their prerogative).
Surrey were already planning a big push for this...
@niallb1
This is a fan led initiative that, in all honesty, we've basically cobbled together in a few weeks. The counties have been very supportive, and hopefully we'll be able to do much more in 2025 with a longer run-up
After an early lunch at The Oval, the sun has poked it's head out, and a big crowd is now being treated to some good batting surrounded by a beautifully verdant outfield
#CountyCricketDay
@Nat038Smith
We've not seen any, so we'd be grateful if anyone's able to share!
We do know Lancashire had a capacity of 2,225 at Southport and sold that out.
@jamesbashford3
@ANorthantsfan
@CCMembersGroup
It's a fan run idea that we essentially made up a few weeks ago, you wouldn't necessarily expect the clubs to be able to do anything (though Leicestershire are a wonderful exception).
The counties have been very supportive so far
Want a transcendent life-affirming festival experience in a field this weekend, but don't have tickets to Glasto?
We've got you covered.
#CountyCricketDay
#glastonbury2024
This is absolutely brilliant, and we can't argue with anything it says. In fact, it probably does a better job of explaining County Cricket Day than we do.
Wonderful stuff, please do give it a read

@WillHugall
Thanks Will! We've been bowled over by all the support we've had in just a couple of weeks.
Here's hoping for some brilliant games tomorrow, and some strong momentum for us to take into next year! ^Alex
@jonboy_avfc
@SurreyUltra
We're all about encouraging people to support their local county, and it just so happens that the Oval is 10 minutes walk from admin's house.
Lots of other people were sending in their pictures from their local sides, which was lovely to see.
@somersetbagpuss
@CCMembersGroup
These are the prices we've researched, but obviously there will be variations and subtleties with each fixture. Definitely check with the counties if you want to know final on the door prices!

A stunning grab from James Bracey!
@RJDhowzat
@CCMembersGroup
We're a fan initiative that's been put together in a couple of weeks, so for 2024 we're just focused on getting bums on seats.
We're not in the business of telling the counties what to do, but with a greater run-up when we repeat it next year, we'd certainly be...
@SeanMJarvis
You've done an absolutely brilliant job with this Sean, thanks for all your support so far. Hope everyone at Leicestershire has a brilliant day, and we get some good momentum for next year 😁
The always-enterprising bunch at
@surreycricket
had the idea to do something at The Oval on this date long before we turned up, but we're beyond happy it happened to coincide with ours.
No force on earth can stop an idea whose time has come. Or something 🏏
