Steve Shovlar 10,453 Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) So if it’s rained off Friday, that looks likely, Saturday goes ahead at Leicester. It’s a wise move as three full coaches and at least the same again in cars will boost the attendance no end. Put the second leg back to a mid week date and probably only one coach, meaning a couple of hundred less fans coming up from Dorset. £4,000 in lost revenue.

How late do you think they will leave it before it is called off. You could say the forecast is bad enough to call it off now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we call it off now were cheating, if we call if off near start time, know consideration for traveling fans, can't win 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daz9100 276 Posted October 19, 2022 I'd assume they will make a call on it tomorrow afternoon based on the forecast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,855 Posted October 19, 2022 Fair play to Leicester for potentially giving up the second leg at home, one wonders if the same would happen t'other way round. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will go with yes seeing as we were supposed to have second leg in QF and SF but didn't end up having it cos of the weather. Plus Bates has seen that having the second leg didn't help Sheffield much. Sometimes better to be in front after first leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to ride when the weather allows.I can't see any team cancelling just to make sure they get the second leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
