Cheam Cricket Club remains committed to resolving this matter constructively and protecting cricket for the local community and future generations. Full statement: cheamcricketclub.com/stateme…

The Club’s Constitution (Section 13.2) guarantees the right to a meeting where rent is disputed. This has been repeatedly requested but has not been permitted. The SCF stated that the financial approach taken risks the future of cricket at Cheam.

Earlier proposals, also made without consultation, included removing cricket’s second square and outdoor nets — which would have materially diminished the club’s ability to operate.

This discrepancy materially affects the cost narrative presented publicly. The grounds contract was renegotiated without consultation and presented as a non-negotiable ultimatum, increasing cricket’s rent by up to 85%.

The agreed figure was £32,730, as confirmed in Executive Officers’ own correspondence, representing the total contract shared between cricket and football, with cricket responsible for approximately 50%.

The Sports Club’s statement claims the original grounds contract was £40,000. This is incorrect.

This dispute is not about willingness to pay — it is about transparency, governance and proper process.

For clarity, Cheam Cricket Club has never refused to contribute fairly and has consistently met its financial obligations, including throughout Covid.

There is no provision within the Club’s Constitution that allows a section to be dissolved in this way. The constitutional basis for this action has already been questioned by other sections and members.

The decision to attempt to dissolve the cricket section was taken unilaterally by the Executive Officers. It was not voted on by the Executive Committee or the wider membership.

Cheam Cricket Club serves up to 290 members each season, including up to 220 local children aged 5–17. Cricket has been part of the Cheam community since 1864 and remains one of the largest sections of the Club.

Club Statement — Cheam Cricket Club Cheam Cricket Club notes the recent social media statement issued by Cheam Sports Club, which contains a number of inaccuracies and misleading claims.
