Thanks, I have no doubt that conditions justified the cancellation but that is not the issue that has enraged (well almost) me. My frustration is due to the continual positive message put out by Waddington right up to and including Sunday morning, that the day would be proceeding no matter what, that the ground could cope with the weather, and that visitors were encouraged to attend from far and wide. That was bad public information and media management designed to maximise revenue.
Sorry for hijacking your board with my grumpiness but there is a real issue here that the organisers seem to have got away with. I and several hundred others made journeys that we didn't need to on Sunday - if the organisers had exericised more caution and common sense we would have been forewarned. As it was we simply believed the information that the organisers provided- as can be seen by the photos on this board that information was clearly and obviously wrong to anyone there on the Saturday.
The guy in front of me in the queue left the site crying by the way!
Thanks for letting me get this out of my system. Roll on Fairford.
