Reviews for Royal & Sun Alliance County Ground

Gloucestershire's reputation has enhanced over recent years, especially with the successful one day exploits a few years back.

With the imminent return of John Bracewell to the fold - the man who oversaw the recent one day successes, there is every reason for optimism and that the County Ground can again play to host to many a successful Gloucestershire side.

Gloucestershire is not the biggest cricketing venue in terms of capacity, but for big games they do bring the temporary seats to increase the capacity from approx 4,000 to 18,000.

The ground is pretty quiet for lower key games but atmospheric and relaxing nonetheless, whilst big games see tension and heightened atmosphere, especially for Twenty20 games.

So, first class cricket in a nice, homely venue, definitely worth a visit.

COME ON THE 'SHIRE!
