WI targets fans in the USA

just saw this article stating the West Indies team will travel to NYC oct 6-9 to drum up support for them (and the WC).

"We are seeking to mobilize avid cricket fans in North America, to provide them with direct information about ICC Cricket World Cup venues, playing dates, transportation and accommodation, the grandeur of the opening ceremony; as well as to highlight the quality of the matches to be played in the Jamaican segment of the series," Mr. Bryan stated.

i laughed when i read this factoid-
The LOC Director also pointed out that, even sidelights, such as the fact that that--Ireland will play Pakistan on St. Patrick's Day, in Jamaica, would be of cultural interest to Irish cricket fans.

imagine 1,000's of irish fans in the stadium in full green!
 
Re: WI targets fans in the USA

Good idea by the West Indies to not only promote the sport and WC, but also try and get the tourism industry in the Carribean even bigger :p

As for Ireland, well, it will be a funny site. Wonder what the restrictions on alcohol will be. I mean, the locals will be smoking in the stands, the irish will be drinking in the stands, the Pakistani's will be rioting, what more could you ask for :D
