Stuart Robertson at The Rose Bowl, the home of Hampshire CCC, where the Sabres are due to play a day/night Friends Provident match on Friday starting at 2.30pm has made contact with the Somerset CCC and asked the following to be posted on the official website-

Following heavy rain over several days, large areas of the grass car parks at The Rose Bowl have become unusable and are likely to remain so until after the weekend.

Therefore, there will be no 'Pay on the Day' car parking for our Friends Provident Trophy matches on 2nd and 4th May. In addition, parking for Car Park Season Ticket holders will be extremely limited at these two matches.

We would strongly advise spectators to either of these games to make alternative arrangements and below are details of public transport connections to the ground.
