10/9/2016

Did you know that Hampshire have played first or second team cricket on 25 separate grounds throughout the county and its near boundaries or that, in 1904, the now developed Bass/Courage ground at Alton had hosted a two-day match against South Africa ?  Or that 2nd XI matches had been played at Andover, Gosport Borough and Havant ? 
If you didn't, then why not pop into the Ageas Bowl Shop when Durham visit for the vital final County Championship match of the season (20-23 September 2016) and purchase the excellent fully illustrated 26-page book of Hampshire's cricket grounds produced by life-long supporter and IBM Hursley cricket enthusiast Bobby Elliott ?  It really is as fascinating read and just might make an ideal Christmas present for a Hampshire supporter.
'Changing Rooms' is the first cricket book produced by Bobby Elliott, who has a bumper book on club grounds ready to hit the bookshelves in February/March 2017.
To contact Bobby for an advanced copy, you can email him at captainbob@btinternet.com
