There's that trust issue raising it's head again So basically, it's p!$$ing down which people are reporting but the club want people to believe things are absolutely hunky dory.

Brilliant I don't think there is anything wrong with people posting weather updates.I too don't believe there is anything wrong with Brundle's quote.He hasn't called anyone a liar,just that the weather is meant to pass through.And they obviously believe they will get a meeting on if the weather forecast they get is correct.

Mimmo Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Raining in Heacham & Hunstanton area at the moment. If you are travelling from this area, be warned that there is a burst water main on the A149 at Sandringham. Traffic lights have been set up, and delays are quite lengthy.

Depends which forecast you look at I think, met office gives only10% chance of rain after 7pm but BBC forecasts 46% chance of rain until 9pm. Let's hope the met office are right on this occasion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I posted only a 100% accurate report of the 15 minute downpour at 1.45 pm that took place around The Walks area of KL. I posted that to be helpful so that people could add it to the mix of weather reports. I also said If there were any more like that it MAY be off. Fair enough in my opinion and not posted with the intention of putting anyone off going to the match. I have decided that I am not due to the possibility of further inclement weather. If there is more to come, as at least two forecasters predict. They may have riding but not racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the word DEFER that got my goat. I defer to no one I try very hard not to predict if meetings will be on or off, just report what I can see, if that helps peple make a decision that's up to them. 2 miles from track and its persistently precipitating again and has been for 10 minutes or so. Stopped since I started typing. There are glimpses of what looks like sunshine over Wills Mothers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1944 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 The weather is very difficult to predict today, here, 8 miles West of Norwich, thunderstorms and rain have been forecast and threatening all day, yet all we have seen is a few drops of rain, for five minutes, black clouds have just passed over with no sign of a thunderstorm.Yet I expect there are probably places within 5-10 minutes drive away could have had downpours.

g13webb Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) The A47 Wisbech by-pass is also closed from 8pm tonight till 6am tomorrow morning for repair works, could add another 15/20mins on your journey time. This is expected to last all week. It will probably be best to take the country roads home, through Magdalen, Wiggenhall, and Marshland St James Edited August 13, 2018 by g13webb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted August 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 The club get their forecast from the weather station at RAF Marham, I they have been told that the rain will have come and gone by start time then that is the information they'll go with.

I have found reports given out by individual fans to be of huge value. Where the reports that clubs give out are concerned, its a question of trust. I went to King's Lynn a few years ago for a Young Stars meeting and it was called off due to rain. By all accounts (apart from theirs) that simply wasn't true. How can a fan 'defer' to the club website (to be fair, this isn't just King's Lynn) when we know they are more than capable of lying ?
