“How wrong can you be look at the real facts
hundreds of thousands in lost sponsership
2 of the worst seasons in the last 25 years
Declining membership
Destroyed relationships with local businesses
Failing development of grass roots cricket
Cant attract new players of the required standard
Poor off field commercial development
David Smith has just followed on from those who came before although when he was put in his place by the board for getting ideas above his station he spat his dummy out - just shows how much he thinks of the club.
Anyone who cares about LCCC and Club cricket in the county would not Support Smith”

“David Smith has made the county a more professional outfit and in my opinion is a far more valuable asset than Neil Davidson who should keep his nose out of team selection. Come back David.”
