Sorry if you clicked on this thread expecting the new seasons list of games, I don't actually know .However, does anyone know when the new season's schedule of games is published?
I get a bit itchy this time of year, wanting to plan my new seasons trips , home and away. I know we are still in division 2 but I want it to be the last there and come 2025 I hope I'm asking the same question but for Division 1 games.
My first aim is to get booked for Scarborough. We decided to leave the place we've stayed at for years because the food became so bland and processed for dinner ( breakfast was outstanding). This is probably due to the fact that we have vegetarian diets .You need a cook for breakfast but places tend to have a chef for the dinner menu .It became repetative , processed , plenty of shortcuts and bought-in food to a budget. I know it's hard to get chefs now or catering staff generally .I don't mind paying for decent food.
Anyway I've selected a new place to stay , just want the schedule so I can be quick off the mark and get booked. It also gives me a psychological lift , that the winter doesn't last forever , that you've got something on which to hang the new games. It's been a tradition in our household that at Christmas , I give my wife a diary in which I've inserted some trips throughout the coming year , not just cricket. For Scarborough my wife walks some of her favourite walks each day , often parts of the Cleveland Way in stages.If it's raining I do some walking with her.it's such a beautiful bit of coast.
Can't wait

There's usually a hint on the Cricketer website and other places a few days before release. Nothing yet, end of November is my guess.

The ECB has decided to resolve the uneven 10 / 8 split by creating a third division. The top 8 will play in the first division, the next 8 in division 2, and Yorkshire and Gloucestershire in division 3.
All teams will play each other team home and away. Yorkshire will play in Bristol from March 3rd to 6th, and Gloucs will visit Leeds October 3rd to 6th. There will be no promotion or relegation between leagues 2 and 3.

and Bristol will of course be under water at that time of the year when the Severn breaks its banks

T20 blast kicks off for us on Sunday 2 June at Northampton.
Also news of a deal for members to get free access to many other grounds, but not when Yorkshire are the opposition.
All on the club website.

I see Yorkshire are bound for Abu Dhabi for their pre-season warm weather practice before next season. They look to be sharing facilities and playing some competitive T20 games against Essex, Notts, Somerset, Warwickshire and a local team.
They do play a 2 day red ball practice game but otherwise looks pretty much T20 all the way.
Tour dates are 11-22 March, which suddenly doesn't seem all that far off.
Just 2 days before the full fixtures are released, hope it's not a horribly lob-sided summer, but with the T20 WC stuck in the middle I fear it might be.

Well we know when the T20 blast starts but that's about it. Whether it's short and sharp or extends right through June and July we will find out.
Will the ODC start earlier and might we end up playing some County Cricket during the Hundred. Both ideas have been suggested but on balance I believe not.
They might shift that little problem along to the 2025 season when their 'expert panel' into the domestic season has reported.
The most important things about the season the scheduling can't really effect.
Firstly, a strong and competitive side with out recent breakthrough players building on their early promise and the senior team members holding it together, perhaps with a few cameo appearances from our England men.
Secondly, lots and lots of lovely weather.

Yes, booking.com needs to clear its decks for my attack tomorrow. Not for Scarborough, of course. I have stayed the same B&B for years and years, so one email should take care of that. It's mostly for my non-cricket trips, which I can organise once I know the Championship dates and venues. Dorset, Devon, and possibly Cornwall.
I am excited about York, too, where I need a B&B considerably better than the one I had last year.

Well Dave, the timing of the One-Day-Cup usually coincides with better weather and the hundred.
There are lots of choices but remember living in a tent is frowned upon as a socially unacceptable lifetime choice.
York though has lot's of B B's, Hotels etc but being a tourist hotspot can be a bit pricey, particularly in the summer months . I think I remember you commenting upon your last-year's choice which was within walking distance of the ground , ideal, sorry it hadn't worked out. We are in the same position with Scarborough , for years we've stayed at Wykeham but the food (for us as vegetarians) is now suitable for children only so we're moving on. Don't mind travelling and it's not what it costs but what its worth.

www.peasholmpark.co.ukI'm not recommending or anything but I did notice the Peasholm Park Hotel has recently gone full vegan. Very handy for the cricket ground and it does look like it has been spruced up quite a bit during the last year. I don't think I've done the link properly but that's the website if you want to give it a look.
