#HantsGameChanger

Hants Game Changer your game your voice your vote Five club proposals to revitalise cricket in Hampshire grew out of Hampshire Cricket Unleashed events in autumn 2016 and the #MyHantsGameDay survey in summer 2017.

According to Survey Monkey's response rate calculator the survey would produce the same results 19 times out of 20 to within a 3% margin of error.

The findings also mirror 110,000 National Cricket Playing Survey responses since 2013 which include 3,500 from Hampshire.

Clubs will vote on the proposals at the Hampshire Cricket League AGM on Thursday 15th February at The Ageas Bowl (730pm in the Ageas Suite, 2nd floor, Shane Warne Stand).
