Set off on Tuesday for Stamford Bridge however one or two stops on the way.

First to pick up Brian from Headingley and then to his doctors to drop a prescription. Next was Ron at Horsforth Surgery as he was having his foot bandaged. Lastly to Bardsey to pick up Bob Procter.
Three quarters hours later arrived at Stamford Bridge to Sunshine but a cold Westerly wind.
Picked you a scorecard from Mollie which was unusual as it just had Yorkshire Team and Lancashire blank.We discussed what would be the best oversee players Lancashire had so the could win the Championship.
Lancashire won the toss and batted. Opened with Brown from Burnley and Andra Agathagelou from South Africa.Bob Deardon was at the match a confirmed Andra was on a year contract as Lancashire had nobody better.He is involved in Lancashire youth cricket.
First sat near the Pavilion however it was to warm. Went to stand next to the sightscreen .People were dressed for the Antartic so sat in the car. Mollie brought three of her scrapbooks for 1986 and 1987. Great pictures of the Yorkshire players. Shown Steve Oldham the scrapbook as there are a number of pictures of him.
Back to the match Brown had been given out caught down the legside after a half hearten appeal from Yorkshire. At lunch Lancashire were 120 for 2 after 35 overs.
The weather had clounded over and still the cold breeze.When walking round Bob Deardon said that two of the decisions were poor and could effect the cricketers career.
The wicket was another good wicket at Stamford Bridge with the Yorkshire bowlers struggling.
We left at 5.30 with Cross scoring freely.
