  I tried to sign but unfortunately I live on the Haringey side of SGR and this is not allowed, apparently. As a cricket lover, I wish the petition all the best.

  Aaargh. I've just tried to sign up but, even as an Islington resident, I can't. It keeps on saying that my postcode returns 'more than 100 matches' and to refine. How do you refine a postcode?
  
  Edited to say that I've written to the Islington webmaster asking them to fix it.

  Different computer and no, it still doesn't believe you can have that many addresses for one postcode.

  I've signed without a problem. JimCricket, will you be putting notices up around Wray Crescent with the petition details?

  Signed the petition. Even though I don't play or understand cricket, it would be such a shame for those who do like to play!

  55 signatures now. This is a good response, but getting up to 100 will make a real difference. Do sign up if you haven't yet.

  Thank you for the support. It is frustrating the petition website does not seem to work smoothly but hopefully the problem will be solved. Agree entirely a 100+ signatures would be good. Islington Gazette is giving some coverage which should help.

  Cllr West has popped up on the petition. I would have thought that you have a more 'direct' route to seeing this sorted, Cllr West??

  **@stroudgreen Local councillors also strongly support keeping cricket. Have meeting soon to straighten this out.**

  Excellent, signed. <edit> Actually not signed, it still won't allow Harringey residents to do so.

  Same here. I was going to fib, but thought better of it.

  Thanks to everyone for their support. The suspension has been lifted. LBI will put in place some improved protection for this year which will hopefully help the situation. They will monitor play during the year and see what further protection is needed.

  Sorry I didn't manage to sign the petition but I'm very pleased that cricket will still be going ahead. It's lovely sitting in the park and watching it in the summer.

  Good news! I've never been there for the cricket. When does the season usually start?

  Pacific CC first cricket this year will be on April 3rd - a practice double wicket tournament - the first match is April 16th. I don't know when Last Man Stands and Islington CC will start to play.
  Thanks again for the support.

  Those of use whose windows have been smashed because of the direction of the crease are less keen on signing. It's not really a big enough space for cricket, unless you can guarantee everyone being rubbish enough to never score a six. Some teams are quite helpful in that regard.
  
  In all seriousnesss, how would I find out if there is a match on May 14th?
