The thing about the BCA is that it is a high end clique, and once you are in nobody on the outside can get in, so fellas like Bird and Conde and the rest know that if not one, the other, but it is the insiders..........Look at Howard....he did round the BCA for an eternity and anybody new that come round there, he does mek life so miserable they does have to run.........POINT does hassle the WICB, he should see the BCA, the doings of that entity have the WICB looking innocent.........

The membership seemed to be fed-up with the leadership of the BCA...but the alternatives ent much different, so it may be a..better the devil I know that the angel I don't sort of attitude prevailing.........plus a man tell me this evening that most of the people who does pay dues are old people who does pay to keep their membership to get into the Oval free for cricket, but he said that since the WICB started giving the over 60's free tickets to see the cricket it is doan make sense paying the BCA nuff money for what they can get free.......so yuh see boss most people does only be looking for what they can get and not looking to give anything.....so the BCA like the WICB need to inject a newness in the cricket.......Young upward thinking people and forget the cliques........

But Conde is still a relatively young man.........but like I told you, not much separates him and Bird...........he should have given away some golden handshakes....this week Bird gave Yorkshire a drive mower.......he say on behalf of the BCA...but I am sure for a few people that like tekking that was a good few votes for the Bird.........oh the politics of cricket in the region..........

The BCA is or should be a professional organization, not a district or neighbourhood club.

Idi will tell you about Conde

I am referring to the players, who are members of clubs.
Can players like Kemar, Kraigg and others, vote at the general election?

 
cherri 2015-08-28 06:04:38 

In reply to openning

Once you are a member of the BCA and your financial standing is up to date you can vote, that the majority of the youngsters in the set up doan even go to the meetings says a lot........like I said, bring some freshness to the BCA, get upright thinking people who will deal with the youngsters and not treat them like they doan matter, then you will see a difference in the halls of the BCA, these boards are all 'old boys clubs' and a youngster will struggle to break that, but something has to be done else it will the same thing over and over......different day, same shit.........

The thing is... Most cricketers are not members of the BCA. I think most of them don't think they can make a difference or there is just a general apathy towards administration.

Cricketers typically don't join whilst they are active and some may join after retirement.

How does membership work, are all club member in good standing, members of the BCA?

In reply to openning

BCA membership should be tied to cricket clubs that way the interest of the clubs and cricketers would come first.

 
FuzzyWuzzy 2015-08-29 11:14:38

The clubs make up the BCA but its just that In most clubs there's little interest in anything beyond playing.

You have to be a (suscribed) member of a club to apply for BCA Membership.

If some in the membership have declined to pay the BCA annual fee, do you think they are still paying club dues.
