Be warned folks; our esteemed Comp Sec is a Yorkie. A lapsed one, maybe - but a Huddersfield supporting Yorkie all the same.
This spot of rain, he'll tell you, is nowt compared to the conditions he had to endure as a lad; 7 miles each way to school. On foot; rain up to the neck and only a pair of sandals on us feet! ::)
You might have seen images of soggy caravans - and I am sure that we'll be informed if things get bad. There is a precedent for this though. Back in 1886, the venue was under water for the entire weekend; the year that Conroy Braithwaite-Hobble won his one and only Open title, aided through the cunning deployment of a snorkel on the Sunday evening. Keith Mouncher will tell you all about it - he was there! ;) Conroy's opponent saw fit to complain, but with 'em all being gents in them days, his complaint took the form of a letter to The Times.
Hang in there folks. The Braithwaite-Hobble spirit; that's the thing! ;D
