R87 476 Posted April 4, 2016 I fear this is going to become a problem at Monmore this season with us and Cradley sharing Mondays. Can see some double headers on the horizon. Looking at mid April before first home meeting for Wolves now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,819 Posted April 4, 2016 The rainfall is quite a narrow band of thundery rain, but looks like it should blow through by 6.30pmish. Absolutely not. Got to about a mile from the track and traffic was virtually at 20 miles an hour the rain was so hard. No way could they have got that on with so much rainfall. Sad to say correct call. About 1 mile from the green and its chucking it down Thanks foolishly I got to see it first hand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,512 Posted April 4, 2016 Well that was a nice trip up the M5 & back! Bad luck and all that. Myself, from Wolves I have been to Exeter and Canterbury for rain-off's. At Bradford we had a 'dark-off' when the floodlights failed! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,512 Posted April 4, 2016 Was at Bradford & it was off due to fog! That might well be a different occasion. My friends and I have always referred to the 'dark-off'.I remember wandering round the back of the home grandstand in the dark! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
