What is the weather situation looking like in Peterborough as do not want a wasted journey if can be helped so any updates would be most appreciated It's fine but dull. The forecast isn't great but changing and looking much less threatening, although the possible late afternoon downpour would be a slight concern. If there was standing water around I'd say consider giving it a miss but there isn't so depending on what comes down and when I think that it'll probably be ok. Unless the T&Cs have changed at the EoES then the fact that it hasn't been called off at lunchtime suggests that they'll do their best to get it on.

Some rain overnight and again this morning but as Crump99 says the fact that they haven’t called it off before 12 midday indicates they are planning/working to get it on. Hopefully we won’t get anymore rain and the forecast is better for the afternoon and evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember being on the ringroad just past Hampton (a stones throw from the EoES) and it was like a monsoon. Arrived at the Showground a minute or two later and it was bone dry. I'm only ever concerned when there are puddles outside my house and there aren't any which usually means that the track hasn't seen anything significant either.

I’m sure they would have made an early call off decision if the track was that bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrismorton 332 Posted June 28, 2021 I think a grippy track suits our lot other than Palin...proved that against Wolves... although Palin also hit abit of form over the weekend so who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noodles 1,337 Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Lots of tractor grading going on, being supervised by Buster. Track looks heavy but otherwise ok. Should be ok if the drizzle doesn't turn into something more meaningful. Edit: delayed start until 7.45pm. Buster now scraping dirt from the outside Edited June 28, 2021 by Noodles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
