But the Spires haven't been as good as I expected this year & Ipswich can still win when understrength, so who knows! If its a wet track then that could be to Ipswich's advantage.

But it happened on opening night, Leicester cancelled on a forecast, Oxford ran. Watching the weather cross the country on the radar could be more exciting than the meeting on this one! Doubt it will be a good meeting on a wet track if its on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 Honestly can't see this going ahead with the rain that's forecast. Looking like it's going to start tipping it down at 3pm and not stop until gone 10pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 Putting off buying train & stadium tickets for this until the last minute, the forecast looks bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 All I can say is fair play to you Siggy, travelling with a poor forecast. Just wish our sport had more supporters like you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But must admit this isn't looking good, and it seems Leicester making the earlier call was the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - there aren’t any forecasts that look remotely promising but Oxford often leave decisions until the situation is beyond doubt.

BackInTheDHSS Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 (edited) Just arrived and it's raining heavily here. No way this is going to go ahead unless it miraculously clears up. Edited June 13 by BackInTheDHSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no longer raining a mile from the track and the ground is hardly wet. Just spoke to a mate who is already there and the track is looking good.

If we get a clear evening then happy days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackInTheDHSS Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 I can confirm it does look pretty good. The rain has somehow stopped. Plenty of black clouds around still, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainB Posted June 13 Report Share Posted June 13 (edited) I hope I'm not speaking too soon... but Oxford are really setting an example to other clubs on how to get matches on! And before you all go apoplectic, yes I know they don't always get it right. Edited June 13 by iainb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With three teams they can't really afford too many rain offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
