If you have the time one on Saturday would be good - there is a full Championship programme and then another on Monday. Thanks edge for another year's reporting and ts for the occasional deputising.

Many thanks from me too ER, for all the sterling work.
I always enjoy reading your modern day Saturday Pink .
My grandfather worked as a publisher on the Southampton Echo, and always had to cover the Football edition, and rarely got to see a match, despite being an all round sports fan.In his retirement he treated himself to a Saints season ticket, sensible fellow, as well as a Hampshire CCC membership.

Thank you as ever for your sterling work, this year ER!
