    Trent Bridge’s new stand

    By Will 3 months ago, 5 Comments »

    Trent Bridge’s new stand, on the Bridgford Road side, is unmissable. It leans backwards with the roof arcing upwards, in a white/cream colour - it’s quite a sight. All in all, Trent Bridge looks an absolute picture.

    Much discussion over the stand’s effects on swing, too. There’s a piece in the papers today - I forget where - which looks into it further, but the theory is that new stands (or buildings or trees) can create its owm mini micro-climate which helps the balls to swing even more. Trent Bridge has always assisted the swingers, but watch out for Anderson, Sidebottom, Mills and co tomorrow. Rain forecast Friday, but all the statistics suggest it’ll be a match for the bowlers.
