Rejected petition Reinstate Ashes cricket to the North of England for the 2015 series

More details

The ECB have announced that the home Ashes series of 5 test matches in 2015 will be played at the following grounds . Lords,(London) Trent bridge(Nottingham), Edgebaston(Birmingham) Cardiff(South Wales) &The Oval (London again) .. This means that the North of England is left totally deprived of ASHES Cricket . Grounds such as Lancashires Old Trafford in Manchester, Yorkshires Headingly in Leeds & County Durhams ground in the City of Durham which have all undertaken massive investment & improvement programmes are left out in the cold yet again . The North of England is The Hotbed of league cricket yet it is ignored in favour of the comfortable rich south yet again. This is totally unfair on the cricket loving North of the country & it should be addressed by parliament.
