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

Don't forget that he used to dream of living in a cardboard box and had to get up at 3 in the morning half an hour before he went to bed and lick road clean w'it' tongue and pay t' mill owner for permission to go to work. you try telling the youngsters today that and they won't believe you.
