Next home fixture is next Tuesday v Glouc at Canterbury 6:30 start
The website says 7pm? - is 6:30 some sort of prematch entertainment, I see they are giving away 4,000 pairs of sunglasses, that won't be needed.
My son has asked to go to this, any advice (other than watch a proper game of cricket, etc), I've never been to St Lawrence before. When I say advice, I mean where to sit, park, etc.
I understand this question has probably been asked before but after spending half an hour clicking back through this thread and using the search, I'm none the wiser other than there's some sort of esoteric banter between you all that is above my level of understanding.
Sorry, never driven to Canterbury before so can't help you with that. The Kent website does mention parking options, as the ground itself doesn't have much space.
Canterbury for the general public is fairly old school, with small banks of permanent seating around much of the perimeter, and people sometimes bringing their own deckchairs!
I see we are playing Gloucs this afternoon at Cheltenham at 2:30. Surprised they'd play a T20 match on a Thursday afternoon, as it seems to go against one of the major benefits of the shorter format, which is to make cricket more convenient for working people to attend!

The park and ride is a good option (only £1 per car!). It's actually an easy 15-20 minute walk, assuming your reasonably able. Depending on where you are coming from you find the next junction down on the A2 a better option to head from on the way back. ie head away from the ground otherwise you will be coming back into other match traffic.
As for sitting I would suggest looking where the boundary is. For T20 the boundary is short so look for which side is closest. If you like behind the bowler just to the left of the Leslie Ames stand is good - and also close to the Leslie Ames bar!

I normally sit near the Leslie Ames stand for that reason, the one place you can get Real Ale

7 overs gone already, and we're well behind the required rate. The only chance we have is if the likes of Billings are given enough time to attack their bowling

180 is about par for this ground apparently. So not looking great.
Glos win by 6 wickets with five balls to spare. At least the venue was picturesque.
Tredwell went for 23 in his first over
Kent 13-0 off 2
Can't see us getting close.
Why doeth you tease us so?
