What is going on with the fixture list?

So I intended to write regularly about the 2021 Cricket Season for Lancashire. Life gets in the way too much, but I have managed to come up with the occasional article. I won’t be writing much about Lancashire in August though.

Look at the Fixture List. Its rubbish. School holidays start quite late in July for Stockport Primaries, and then we are on holiday for a week. I went online to look at the options for taking my older son to some cricket at Old Trafford after August 8th. To say the options are sparse does not cut it. Just look at it!

OK so we have tickets for a couple of The Hundred games. But as far as I can see, no cricket is taking place at Old Trafford between the 13th August and 10th September. What is more, Lancashire first eleven do not even have fixtures after 13th August?

Am I missing something? What is going on? How on Earth am I meant to get my kids into Cricket with hardly any cricket to take them to in August? Something does not make sense.
