Re: Now WICB wants governments support - Noreht - 04-19-2016
Does this forum believe it is better for West Indian cricket if the West Indies dissolve and break down back into regional, i.e. Jamaica, barbados, squads? I don't know what the politics are behind the islands and I won't pretend to do so, but I would think a united team would be stronger on the world stage than 5 or 6 mediocre teams?

Also if the grounds are owned by the government and the fans, the taxpayers, support the overthrow of the WICB then refuse and bring them to their knees.

[size=11pt]They are asking for usagae of Grounds and Stadium
that is OWNED by individual Governments
In light of all the bad feelings, they are reinforcing Governments support [/size]

The politics is straight forward : Loyalty to Money.
and the support comes from the Islands that has the most IPL players.
Their Board also gets a few shackles of silver for no objection waiver !
Re: Now WICB wants governments support - ketchim - 04-19-2016
WICB also receive for all players regardless of Island.

Thanks for your considered opinion but as Chin says and I know, QPO is privately owned.
Re: Now WICB wants governments support - ketchim - 04-19-2016
Good for QPO if indeed it is privately owned : will check with the Moose.
Perfect scenario to REFUSE WICB that "private" Venue and "bring them to knee"
The rest of W.I. Venues are Government owned.
Re: Now WICB wants governments support - Googley - 04-19-2016
QPO is privately owned but the Government is the one who has been paying the CPL!
Re: Now WICB wants governments support - ketchim - 04-19-2016
Whom are the owners/ shareholders Of QPCC ?
i would have to call Prakash in Tunapuna.
unless for once the "Trinbagonians" on this Forum is "in the know"
Chin obviously owns many shares
