Lancashire Lightning's home Norwich Union League fixture against Derbyshire Scorpions, which was originally scheduled for Monday 15th July, will now be played at Blackpool Cricket Club on Sunday 14th July with play starting at 1pm.

The game was scheduled to take place just 48 hours after "Move", a 3-day series of pop concerts sponsored by Virgin Trains. However, the addition last week of an extra date sees David Bowie playing at Old Trafford on Wednesday 10th July. This means an unforeseen increase in the scale of the stage and the additional time needed to dismantle the equipment has necessitated the switch of the Monday night game to an outground.

The change to a Sunday afternoon game is designed to make it easier for members and supporters to attend the fixture in Blackpool as opposed to Monday evening.

In order to assist Members with their travel arrangements, the Club has decided to provide free coach transport from Old Trafford to Blackpool CC. Places are limited and further details will be available from the Ticket Office from Monday 13th May on 0161 282 4040.
