Rob Key backs Kent's decision to play home game at The Oval
by Andrew Gidley
Rob Key believes Kent’s decision
to play a "home" game at The Oval this summer could be the way
ahead as counties battle to survive in the present financial
climate.
The unprecedented move which sees the
county face Essex in south east London on Friday July 9 has upset
many of the traditionalists among the membership but Key maintains
ventures like this present a huge advantage.
He said: "Signing players and
producing players all cost money and I know some supporters may not
be happy about it but we need to make as much money as we can.
"The upside for a county like us is
going to be huge.
"I have not always with agreed with
every money-making scheme at Kent but this one promises to be a
massive day for the club."
