Webcam back! Man spotted mowing the snow!!

Snow at Headingley in late April? Not inconceivable.

Must be this new special turf we have just laid - a red ball on white turf is better for the TV cameras - I think Stanford suggested it a few months back....

Has the camera reverted to black/grey and white images?! But it is alive!

license is cheaper for black & white

It looks as if we're playing in the 1950's!
I'm sure that's Sir Leonard at the far end...

" It looks as if we're playing in the 1950's!"

Except that in those days, Steve, there were, let's see, what did we call them? Ah yes -- spectators!

>>license is cheaper for black & white

That's why we always had a sheep dog as a pet when I was a kid!

dont judge the lack of crowd today. the weather forecast was awful and we were lucky to get any cricket at all. not many people outside leeds will have travelled.

how lovely to see the sun shining and prep for the game going on. if i didnt have grandchild watch today i would jump in the car and be on my way.

Remember that the stands that you can see in the webcam picture are currently closed. That may explain why you couldn't see any spectators sat there yesterday! For a Tuesday in April with a dodgy weather forecast, I thought the crowd was quite good.

Just notices Marker's post from yesterday ... even though the forecast wasn't good I though the crowd was a bit poor .... & I can certainly deny the thought that all of us attendees live in Leeds. Admittedly out North East member didn't turn up (he was there today) ... but most of the rest of our group who did bother had to travel.

looking at the webcam now, the pitch doesn't look in very good condition to the right of the screen. Can someone at the ground say what it's like?

Looks on the cam like it's a got some muddy bits where the grass has worn away ... already?!

Although we now know that there are some problems between the turf and the soil, the outfield looks to be in good condition. The dark patches are footmarks on a practice pitch at the edge of the square and nothing to worry about.

Thanks. Think it looked worse on the cam, or maybe in my mind.. been a pretty rubbish day for non-cricket reasons.

its still dark at headingley

Does anyone have the URL for the Yorkshire webcam? It is not obvious where I can access it on the official site.

Not sure it's really worth it, Karl. At the moment you can see some dim figures apparently playing a match in the snow. If it melts, please let us know.

Why is there no longer a direct link on YCCC website?

The webcam seems to have gone the way of "The Captain's Blog" (Tony McGrath) and the WRTV match day highlights. Good ideas, which didn't pan out, or have been discontinued.

The wifi hub in the press box was stolen so although the webcam is still there we are waiting for the hub to be replaced.

Things are conspiring against us this summer!

^^^^^

Taa for that James .... I've never trusted the press (lol)

Thank, James. We always appreciate your updates and comments. I for one, really enjoyed the webcam. It was a tangible way to connect with the club from afar. I hope it will be back "in action" ASAP.

Alex

what has happpened to the webcam. i wanted an image of the ground at test match time. yet again yorkshire disappoint. a good idea gone wrong

I agree. But if ever you wanted the webcam to be up and running it would be for an Ashes test match.

I'm disappointed the club can't get these sorts of things right. Along with WRTV, the so-called Captain's Blog and the often out-of-date "players with physio," the club has had an indifferent season both on and off the field.

Is working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
