It's the right move.

For once I'm happy to have been proven totally and utterly clueless. It's time for a blog....

The fall out from the welcome afforded to Australian Captain Ricky Ponting by certain sections of the Edgbaston crowd at the weekend has got some observers rather hot under the collar. Does the game have to accept the changing demographic of its audience or is it just not Cricket?

But the grave situation at the Grove has given rise to a most welcome response from the supporters and local community.

With the ECB selling the TV rights to the highest bidder, it was back to the wireless for me and a re-acquaintance with the wonderful world of TMS. Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:18:14 +0100 87f09b66a1f5001cca5acd7187e06282 http://www.halesowennews.co.uk/sport/blogs/4457645.DOUBLE_JEOPARDY_FOR_SETANTA/?ref=rss A couple of months have passed since my last entry on here. In that time the Football Season finished, the FA Cup was won, Jensen Button continued to dominate F1 and Tony Mowbray gave it the old “do as I say, not as I do” when leaving the Baggies. In amongst this a sad, slow death occurred, that of the UK wing of satellite broadcaster, Setanta. But is this surprising, or are TV companies underestimating the viewer?

Ushering in a new era at SW1, this latest addition will mean we wave goodbye to endless rain-delays and early stoppages on Centre Court. But on closer inspection, a vital part of what makes the Wimbledon Championships so special may be lost. And I don’t mean a sing-song with Cliff.

Easter Monday sees the renewal of rivalries between Stourbridge and Halesowen at Amblecote, as the Yeltz look to gain revenge over the Glassboys following the New Years Day defeat earlier in the season. But which is the biggest Derby in football? Is it just a question of scale? Sun, 12 Apr 2009 09:15:50 +0100 4a931133f2e684fd9bbc1f01498f3be2
