[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1101681, member: 72205"] County cricket is a mixed bag, T20 makes oodles of cash with the TV rights and usually pretty good crowds. The test counties make good money from the gate revenues of those matches. The county championship make very little cash and is difficult to put on but produces players for test cricket which is where the money comes from. List A cricket (50 overs) is sort of in the middle and really depends if you have a good side. But now is no longer a top class tournament as its played a the same time as The Hundred Test cricket produces huge amount of revenue in TV rights which is distributed throughout the counties. Some teams are obviously not doing great getting Test cricket proves important but Somerset prove you can be highly successful financial if you build a strong fanbase. The Hundred is the elephant in the room the TV right supposedly injected huge amount of money into the counties. However the impact it has on the schedule, players and the fact traditional fans just ******* hate it as does away with history of sides it remains to be seen if that additional money will be at the expense of counties. Cricket also doesn't compete with many other sports when it is on. Its fine but there are issues the RFU in comparison how much money from international rugby goes back into the PRL sides? [/QUOTE]
