Latest forecast has the weather deteriorating with a wet day of light rain until 5pm then a dry evening. Sunday is looking like a nice Sunday day. Move it back to late Sunday afternoon or gamble tomorrow night? Decisions, decisions! 

NL league playoff final Sunday and they have already moved it from Saturday.

Who knows forecast seems to change all the time, could change again before tomorrow, must be a nightmare, then you get the usual idiots saying no excuse for a rubbish track!!

Plus all the light rain is 50% chance at the most!! So quite as easily stay dry.

Not anymore. Heavy rain is now at noon. Dry from 3pm. Just depends how wet the track is before today. The heavy rain at lunchtime could stop the meeting going ahead tonight.

Met office now saying light rain 10 & 2 other than that dry. 

Can Danny Ford stick his head out of the office window to give a more accurate update as I leave London.

Don't listen to the BBC folks!

I live about 4 miles away and have just driven to within about 2 miles from the track and back. It's been raining steadily the whole time . Lots of standing water around too.
