Views of New Road


Not a prayer for Middx

By Barmy Kev

MTWD unleashed Barmy Kev on Worcester for 1st game of season. Here's some printable photographic evidence of his trip. Sadly I didn't get a Hawkeye of Strauss's dubious LBW decision.

On the way into New Road I saw a sign with Steven Fin's bowling figures. Fortunately for Middlesex they improved.

Don't ask what I was doing behind the pavilion, but there are better views to follow.

 

 Who needs the West Indies, when you can go to Worcester early April? The temperature gauge at one stage got to 22 degrees even though at time felt colder.

 

 Sadly Middlesex needed more than devine inspiration...

 

 England's number one fast bowler keeps an eye on the action.  I asked him to move as he was actually blocking my view.

 

Sky ask Finn about the strange man wondering around Worcester.

 

My turn to either interview Finn or be interviewed by SKY.  Er hello is anybody there.

I fear that we may be heading for a similar situation to when a photo of Uxbridge was posted on the front page of MTWD, only for some people to be unable to see the whole photo, which promoted the Sawn Off At The Legs Mini Poll.

I have three browsers installed on my computer. When viewing MTWD on Internet Explorer, I can actually see most of the photo that has today appeared on the front page. When viewing on Mozilla Firefox, the players' heads have been sawn off. When viewing on Google Chrome, I can see no clues that the photo was taken at a cricket ground as the area below the hedge has been cut off.

However, if you change the '66' in the URL to '522' then a facility enabling you to scroll down and see the whole picture is created.

The dump behind the pavilion would be due to the fact that it is under 8 feet of water every winter, Sure my old mate would approve of the cathederal, don't particularly like the new pavilion but far sooner spend the day there than any of the test grounds.

Vic,my friend.

You have to agree what a beautiful Cathedral.

Seriously,I went to New Road on the first day, and it is a lovely ground, though I am not so sure about the look of The Pavilion.I would need to see it again.

Vic my friend.

You must agree it is a beautiful Cathedral.

Seriously,I was at New Road,for the first day, and it is a lovely ground.Though,I am also not sure about the look of The Pavilion,as it seems a little out of place, with the rest of the ground.I would need to have another look.

Also great pictures,well done.

Is that Worcester Cathedral? I thought it was a photo at Southgate.

The view from the pavilion onto the square is great,not to high up.Built 'up' to stop any flood damage i presume.Inside is spacious and the Worcs members/fans are a friendly bunch who like to entertain,as Kev and myself found out on the train back on Friday evening.I would recommend a visit.

Barmey Kev

Thanks for the shots of one of my favourite grounds. I understand from talking to Beefy Roberts and Kimmy at the Seaxe Awards on Friday it was lovely weather (in total contrast to the b....y cold day at Lords). The team will certainly need divine intervention to save themselves this season.
