Ok, so it wasn't exactly an epic journey from my house to the Oval, but it was my first time at Surrey's home ground.
I spent the day at the Lancashire vs Surrey match and saw some good cricket. The day was late starting due to a damp pitch but just after 1pm, the day got underway. Lancashire welcomed return of England star Andrew Flintoff who took a couple of wickets early on before Surrey greats Mark Butcher and Mark Ramprakash settled in for what turned out to be two century innings.
I was quite pleased by the facilities at the ground. Owing to bulding works at the site, the pavilion was closed so instead the members were in the debenture box. The bar is quite cheap which is a bonus. They also have a low level FM transmitter installed and all members get a free radio receiver to listen to the BBC London commentary.

Have to tell you that Mr Pineapples finds the whole cricket trip mysterious.
P played for the school when a kid, and loved it, but watching cricket now is deadly dull.
Last time P went was to Lords to watch world cup with client. He bought us a bottle of champers each - we guzzled our bottles and the rest remains a blur.
That's the ONLY time P has enjoyed the cricket.
It's DULL
