Cricket fans looking forward to a good time at the Trini Posse Stand for the 2007 World Cup tournament will have to have their fun at the Party Stand that has been set up by the Local Organizing Committee.

Dr Nigel Camacho, a key coordinator of the Trini Posse, a group of die-hard cricket fans known for having soca stars and flag-wavers providing entertainment at its stand at the Queen's Park Oval, said the Party Stand has been set up in accordance with rules set out by the International Cricket Council.

But it is only for the tournament as the Party Stand, which the Trini Posse helped raise funds for, returns to the group's control in 2008.

While fans won't get to enjoy a fete-type atmosphere at the stand, a local DJ will provide entertainment.

"The Local Organising Committee will be running the Party Stand with minimal music for the games played here," Camacho said.

As for the flag wavers, they'll be there but there are some rules: The flags must be five feet by three feet in size and must not be offensive nor impinge on the rights of the ICC's sponsors and partners.Coolers must be 12 by 12 by 12 inches in size.Camacho said cricket is a major source of entertainment for locals and Trinidadians have their own way of expressing themselves when it comes to "a good game".The LOC has made several changes for the matches and "we will only have to wait and see how things unfold," he added.Camacho said the Trini Posse has never been in trouble with umpires at previous matches for excessive noise.

"Compared to the Jamaican Red Stripers and the Barbados supporters of the Bajan Posse the Trini Posse Stand is no different," he said.

In Trinidad, the Trini Posse, co-founded by dentist Nigel Camacho, combines cricket and carnival and woe betide those fielders marooned on the boundary where the noise is non-stop during long, hot afternoons.

'In 1992, all we had was a little yellow music box and we just sat there with our cooler and played music all day having the grandest time,' said Camacho.

"We had a passion for the game which coupled with being young and having a good time just progressed into the Trini Posse.It was wonderful and it became an obsession, it became a cult," Camacho said.

The catch was that these tickets must be bought from Simpaul rather than the TTFF as Anthony Harford of All Sport Promotions and Dr Nigel Camacho of the Trini Posse told the Daily Express.

Dr Nigel Camacho, president of the "Trini Posse" and one of Lara's biggest supporters through thick and thin, was also brimming with joy over his accomplishment.

"Obviously I'm elated," he said yesterday.
...
"Even though he was saying they (records) were made to be broken," Camacho continued, "this is a record with pride in it."
...
At any point Jacobs was out I don't think he (Lara) would have been able to make it (the record score) considering how weak the West Indies tail is," Camacho stressed.

Nigel Camacho, founder of the Trini Posse supporters' group, had also planned a charter to take his supporters to Germany but claimed that things got very complicated when Simpaul Travel was named as the authorized ticket distributors.

"I am a little bit confused about what is going on," Camacho told the Sunday Express.

Lara went to the stands to give Franayma Lewis the cricket ball-shaped package, telling her to take care of it, said Nigel Camacho, the friend.

She did not have a clue it was for her," said Camacho, a dentist.

"After a while, I asked her to open it and she was stunned.She said yes, and we are both delighted."

Camacho, 40, is well-known in the region for heading the Trini Posse, a fan group that has followed the West Indies team on tours for years.The couple live in Trinidad.
