 Cricinfo - Out of town but not out of favour
Out ground cricket these days is not particularly fashionable for counties: too expensive to move all the required technical support; too much of a lottery when it comes to quality of pitch; too many moans from county staff that the changing rooms are too small.
And the ground was full of passionate fans, most bedecked in Durham logos on shirts and caps, the bar and food stalls didn't stop and the crowd could hear the players' chatter and the general noise of the game, something never too clear at most headquarters.
The clubs need endorsement and financial support from local councils, then they need to prove they are the best alternative in the area, before crossing their fingers and hoping the county simply likes them and can be bothered to move from home for a few days.
