Glamorgan CCC22-Jul-2005Glamorgan have today dismissed as “nonsense” a story about a possiblemerger with local rivals Gloucestershire, Somerset and Worcestershire.Chief Executive Mike Fatkin said:”Our Coach, John Derrick. mentioned some form of regional cricket when askedon a radio phone-in about where county cricket might be some time well intothe future, but that was as part of a discussion about standards, wascompletely speculative and had nothing whatsoever to do with the finances ofthe county game, which is what the story has been trying to imply.Someone has taken John’s comments completely out of context and tried tomake a story out of them. There is no story there. The issue has neverbeen discussed and the whole idea is total nonsense.”
