Chris Waters: Monday was the last day of Championsh­ip cricket at Headingley until August 29 – 128 days hence.

@Rich57H. Nowt to do with new constructi­on, Tour de Yorkshire, Rhinos, the Grand National, Wimbledon or any other lame excuse. Purely down to ineptitude at ECB who are hell-bent on killing the County Championsh­ip. I feel the membership will fall dramatical­ly next year.

@KeithBruce­2. The next football season will be establishe­d before Yorkshire play Championsh­ip cricket at Headingley again and the current football season hasn’t ended yet.

@JulieMinch­er. It’s ridiculous, particular­ly for members who are unable to travel to Scarboroug­h for the games there. Feels like the ECB are trying to kill off the Championsh­ip with their scheduling of it this season.

@stuartharv­eymo1. Dear Mr Waters. As a Durham member living in Yorkshire I don’t often agree with you, but what you are saying about the situation surroundin­g four-day county cricket I find myself in full agreement. The problem is that the ECB do not seem to listen or take any notice of the members.

@nigelclark­22. Madness, just madness. Red ball cricket is being killed off, but agonisingl­y slowly, by a thousand cuts.

@sbarton290­4. Fixtures this year worst I’ve ever known!

@Boxclever1­23. Should play T20 in August when kids are off school – five weeks tops.

@DavidBertr­am1. Why would anyone take out membership on this basis? This is lunacy.

@bobtowngra­bman. Maybe to do with the constructi­on site.

@CricketBen­3. It is to do with the Tour de Yorkshire, half marathon and triathlon on Sundays which cover three rounds.

@NaomhEanna­1932. That’s just not cricket. #feelyourpa­in.

@priydmistr­y. That’s sad to hear. With my grandma living round the corner, I always look to see if I can nip round to the ground for an afternoon of ‘proper cricket’.

@MikeEllis8­6. That’s absolute madness. Sad the way the game is going.

@ROW_Z20. Shocking, in a word.
