PE? thought you were in the UK?

Buffalo Park, East London. That’s where they’re supposed to be playing this evening.

All sport should be scheduled at the inland provinces, irrespective of the season

Why don't they send you to India?

You can just about make out the stadium lights…

Has not rained since about 11am. And there's a bit of sunlight. But I very much doubt we will get a game as it's still very wet.

It's just the way they operate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Buffalo Park has lousy drainage.

Given that there's been almost non stop rain since the match was called the other night, there's little hope they'll be playing tonight.

I was in Dorchester Heights at the time - if it was raining there it was probably also raining in Beacon Bay.

It might be a bit blurry from there.

Strangely nothing in BB north since this morning.

Ah well 3 games abandoned I reckon. I was chatting to the guys who supply beers at the ground and they are a bit annoyed as there are no sales.

I can’t imagine any of the vendors were particularly chuffed about it.

I once sat thru a full drizzling test day, no play, but believe me... the vendors were smiling

How many fans would they realistically think they would pull? 1-2k?Then what is the % of those that drink?

Not only alcohol. But I guess selling 200 drinks , still a profit.

Match abandoned.

While I'm disappointed, all this rain is very good news for the region, is it not?

Not really. Most dams are full and the rain will persist for the next 5 days or so. My garden is overgrown !!

I know PE (Gqeberha) had water restrictions, but that's 300km from East London.
