Re:
Not particularly helpful. I suspect they really want it to go ahead to get the darned match out of the way. I also suspect it will be off. I also know I will be outside the ground when this fact is confirmed."Matt D" wrote:. they said they wouldn't know until an hour before kick-off.

I'm an easy target I suppose.
I've just spoken to Dawn in the office and she says it is the FA who won't allow a decision until one hour before ko for fog. She said that at 1pm she went to the South stand and could see the North stand but has just been up again and the North Stand has disappeared! She personally thinks it will be off. Now I don't know what to do!
Re:
That's all well and good but with a lot of people (well a few) all turning up at the last minute to pick their tickets up from reception it could be quite chaotic. It WILL be called off."Mally" wrote:II think we'll leave it until the last minute before leaving Thame now. .
Re:
What a ridiculous ruling by the FA. There's localised fog that comes and goes & then there's these peasoupers that settle in for what may be days. In the case of the latter an earlier decision should be allowed - plus in this case the temperature is a factor too. Whatever happened to common sense. I assume there are some Lewes diehards (okay, not many judging by Saturday, but a few nonetheless) who are straining their eyes as they feel their way towards Oxford for what is bound to be wasted trip."Hog" wrote:I've just spoken to Dawn in the office and she says it is the FA who won't allow a decision until one hour before ko for fog.
